Fixed.


You did not “fix” anything I wrote. You do not comprehend what humanism is and what it is doing today and you don’t understand your role and duty as a Christian in a free society or any society for that matter. I’ll give you a hint. It’s not about you.

Let me guess...a LIEbertarian? LOL

Humanism is the term in Theology, mostly Christian but somewhat Jewish, which is given to the idea (and philosophy built upon) man being a special, and superior, creation among all of God's creation.

This is fact; to call the philosophy stemming from Nietzsche's atheistic worldview "humanism" is to surrender a good and useful term (one that correctly describes man's place in the universe; for mankind is special if for no other reason than God stepped down from heaven to die and thereby save) to the enemy-forces, allowing them to determine the language [and thereby allowed thought] in the argument: IOW, it is nothing less than surrendering.

and what it is doing today

I have eyes to see: and what I see is the mighty struggle for authority. Even Paul saw this and wrote:
Eph 6:12 -- For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

and you don’t understand your role and duty as a Christian in a free society or any society for that matter.

Really? The above seems clear to me that my duty is not to attack people, but philosophies... and you have let the enemy claim 'humanism' as his own - my correction to you of what that word means, really means, has been met with an attack of namecalling ("LIEbertarian").

I’ll give you a hint. It’s not about you.

Really, and here I thought Christianity was a personal relationship with Jesus the Savior; and if that is the case then it is about me [just as is is about Him] because a relationship cannot only be about one person, can it? If it is, show me a son without a father, a mother without a child, a lover without a beloved.

Let me guess...a LIEbertarian?

So? Our [federal] government was designed to be very libertarian: that is the whole point of the Forgotten Amendments:
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

As you can see, these state that the government is not supposed to do much of what it does... but they were right who said that men suffer evils while they are sufferable.
