I just do not know how people live day to day in this world.. without God (the Lord). It would all look bad.. day in and day out. There would be no hope.
Even the idea of bad presupposes an idea of good.
The blind from birth never complain about darkness.
And in some depraved societies, the (innocent in their accounting) baby is itself seen as a suitable object of redemptive sacrifice, which tended to be done in hideous manners. The scriptures tell us of God’s grieved and angry warnings to Israel not to get involved in that — and yet they did.
And yet... it seems our modern practice even tops THAT in depravity.
While we talk about “sacrificing to the god of convenience” it ends up trailing off in abstractions. By the time the abortion rolls around, even the convenience has been largely forgotten. It’s like sacrificing them for nothing... which at least in C. S. Lewis’s characterization of hell is what hell likes the most. Not even to get a sweet sin out of it. At least the sacrificers to Moloch thought they were redeeming their own lives that way (by appeasing that baleful deity).
