I don’t think the left does not believe there is a God. If they did, they would not be in such a fight against Christianity. They just would not care. I think the left is in rebellion against God.
While religion of various places and periods may have a bit to answer for the abandonment of religious restraint as it pertains to it’s influence on culture has rarely, if ever, produced much good.
As usual, every year.
Predictable as the sunrise.
The godless on the left have a myopic fixation which sees only the bad. Sure, God released plagues on the Egyptians. Their view is that he did it just for fun. But he was freeing an entire people from brutal slavery, and leading them to a new land where they would be free. Does that part not count for some reason? Atheists also see themselves as the ultimate good, and therefore don’t need a moral guide beyond themselves. But it only makes them blind to their own shortcomings while judging everyone else by a false standard. One of them asked me once “How can you believe in some old guy sitting on a cloud throwing lightening bolts”? I said “That’s not what I believe”. He replied “Yes you do”. I guess it’s easier to hate something if you insist on misunderstanding it.
...a guest essay at the New York Times from a very angry, lapsed Orthodox Jew. I believe the NYT was bought by a lapsed Jew, and if among the many Jews on its payroll there exists an Orthodox Jew, I will be amazed.
“…And yet we praise him. We emulate him. We implore our children to be like him…
No, genius, we give Him His due Who SPOKE all of this into existence. Placing ourselves on His level or in judgement of Him and His actions is off the scale of the idiotic.
Have a nice eternity Shalom Auslander.
They have got to blame their evil, diabolical attack on humanity on someone. In the last two years it has been Trump who was the devil, then Putin, and now it’s God. I have said for quite some time that there are demons walking among us on this earth, disguised as humans, but soulless demons. Their mission is to destroy God’s creation - the world and humanity. They are deliberately ruining everything in sight and I sense we are spinning ever faster around the toilet bowl into the crapper. Prepare for what’s coming very soon (possibly in a month) that will make the Great Depression look like a picnic.

This is the belief of many on the right and the left but unfortunately the writer is dreadfully wrong. If that’s all you are going to do then you’re still going to end up in hell.
Tomorrow we celebrate Easter, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. You might as well be celebrating Mickey Mouse if you don’t fully believe in him. And Jesus told us we must be born again as the only way to the kingdom of God. That means turning from your sin and turning to and accepting Jesus as your savior. Do that and the rest will take care of itself.

There, fixed it
As if we didn’t know who they were and what they were up to.
So long as men insist on judging G-d by there own limited and myopic perspective, they will find Him wanting. He doesn’t see through our eyes, think with our brains, or judge by our wisdom or experience. He is that He is, and is not just a superhero.
Much is extraneous. Especially “laws” and procedures made up by mankind.
I think Farag has it about right. A, Bs, & Cs.
A: Admit you’re a sinner. Many defend right there, and think their moral compass is better than God’s. Admission needs some humility.
B: Believe in your heart that Jesus really did sacrifice his life for you, as God’s agent; and that he rose from the dead as “first fruits.” Jesus paid your sin-blll. (Frankly, deeply, I don’t understand it; but I don’t have to — I just need to Believe it. And I do. I believe it’s called “grace” — an unearned Gift From God. In the words of the old gospel song, “You don’t need no baggage, you just thank the Lord.”) One doesn’t merit Grace by acts: one merely accepts the Gift, with thanks.
C: Confess your faith — aloud — to any who will listen.
Some will attack the simple naiveté of that, but that’s ok. They’re free to do so. I hope they will soon see a better path.
That may not work for you; but it works for me.
Some already believe it. Some may come to believe it.
Some will never believe it. May they change, and Live.
“You don’t need no ticket, you just climb on board.”
Errrr, that was tried once before about 2,000 years ago by the Romans. It failed then and it would fail now, cause IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!! He died because He allowed it Himself. Then He arose, never to do that again. He did it for us if we are smart enough to understand and accept His free gift of salvation by GRACE and GRACE ALONE. No works. Just faith. Free gift. You don't work for free gifts.
We have a leader-shaped hole, which is basically a good and natural thing. It’s how we have evolved, and it’s why countries with a single leader tend to last longer.
We can pick a bad one or a good one of course.
To the left Government is their only god. They seek government approval in every decision they make.
And the Tribe chose Good Friday to crucify Jesus. Bad timing and paradoxical timing: not mutually exclusive.
Fro decades the MSM has down this every year, revealing their fantasy in their war against the living and true God they maintain. And thus they dare not attack Islam at any time.
