I think it’s more the decadence of Marxists and Post-modernists trying to destroy Western Civilization.
They’re British. Their lives don’t have any purpose.
Three times in my early life I came within an inch of certain death. By age twenty it came to me that I was still alive because God had something for me to do.
In the same light, you meet the people you meet and experience the experiences you have in life to a purpose. Therefore, I do not believe in coincidence.
My life has a purpose. When my life ends it will be because He has no further tasks for me to perform. He will then take me home.
Think about your life. You do not exist in a vacuum. There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Something is going to fill that void.
They think they are ‘lost’ now? Wait til they are outnumberd by the Muzyys! They’ll know then what a kicked dog feels like...
They might change their minds if they’d pull their heads out of their phones.
Congratulations socialism!
Indeed, along with suicide. Once one admits they are a lost sinner, with no means of escaping punishment in Hell or meriting Heaven, and place all their faith in the risen Lord Jesus, the Divine Son of God, then they are not only bought with the sinless shed blood of Christ, meaning they are priceless in Christ, but they have the highest purpose, by being instruments to show God's love and Truth to the world, and become more like Him.
It’s been HOW long since Kubrick made ‘A Clockwork Orange’?
True dis!
Belief has become a religion and that is where the problem lies.
In the United States, A Clockwork Orange was rated X in its original release in 1972. Later, Kubrick voluntarily replaced approximately 30 seconds of sexually explicit footage from two scenes with less explicit action for an R rating re-release in 1973. Current DVDs present the original version (reclassified with an "R" rating), and only some of the early 1980s VHS editions are the edited version.[33][34]
Because of the explicit sex and violence, The National Catholic Office for Motion Pictures rated it C ("Condemned"), a rating which forbade Roman Catholics seeing the film. In 1982, the Office abolished the "Condemned" rating. Subsequently, films deemed to have unacceptable levels of sex and violence by the Conference of Bishops are rated O, "Morally Offensive".[35]
Some terrible things happened to me when I was 3-4 years-old. God spoke to me. I knew that He would save me. He did.
Furthermore, I remembered life before incarnation.
He had always spoken to me. He never ceased. He is with me now, as I write this message.
I was seriously suicidal as a teenager. He was there for me.
He speaks to all of us. Some listen. Some don't.
Since childhood, my life has been a continuous upward soar to the most wonderful life I could ever imagine having. I wish everyone could have a life so happy and full of joy and wonder and love.
When I was 3 years-old, my father lay dying. My mother prayed, wept, and racked her brain, not knowing what she could do. She received a visitation. My father recovered. All was well.
During the past two years, I have received four visitations from five people who have passed into the afterlife. The most recent was a few weeks ago. All were powerful and reassuring.
My life has been busy, full of hard work, and full of joy. When I have done all that I need to do, I will happily pass into the afterlife myself. I'm looking forward to it.
