When people stop believing in God they start believing in Big Government and Obamaism

sigh......

....possibly for some...the weak... but not necessarily written in stone as a given for non-believers, by any stretch of the imagination.

Interesting article. My personal observations back are not in conflict with the conclusions of the study.

A nation of sheep, we should not be.

A nation for those free, that’s what we used to be.

Roger Scruton speculated that people who believed in paradise in the next world were perhaps less likely to go along with schemes to create it here, and maybe there’s some truth in it.

Lol!! There's a lot of truth in that, although you can know paradise both here and in the next world by knowing God. I don't know why being religious has to be associated with being downtrodden.

A new study has found that belief in a God may be inversely correlated to belief in Government.

Ping for later

Ayn Rand is the answer.

The endtimes will be waged between the God-fearing and the godless. This is why Christians will be persectuted at the end. It has already begun...society is clamping down on those who believe homosexuality is wrong, abortion is murder, and sex is to be saved for marriage. Soon you will be persecuted for these beliefs.

This article is incorrect. They actually constelate the god complex within them selves and become god. At that point they can adjust their morals to fit any situation.

Man is a worshiper.

Take away the God of Israel, and man will worship something else. Self, idols, money, pleasure, power, or government.

Ps. 2. In the end, God laughs.

“The other explained that while God may exist, the laws of physics mean he could not interfere in man’s affairs.”

Wow. This really brings home the scripture that says “The fool has said in his heart, there is no God.” It shows such a deep misunderstanding for the Lord and His relationship to man. This “new study” must have been conducted by people who’ve never read the Bible nor have they ever fallen before the cross of Calvary and asked humbly for redemption. These are people who don’t understand the power of faith and prayer and the fact that God not only “interferes in man’s affairs,” but that He also “orders a man’s steps” and that all of creation is His.

As for me, I believe in God’s Word when it says that it is impossible for God to lie. That would make the author of this article, along with the rest of those who worship Communism, a liar. Now THAT’s not too hard to believe at all.
