For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. 2 Corinthians 2:15-16
“Science must ultimately destroy organized religion....”
Sounds like the mantra on some of our Crevo threads......
Getting rid of religion worked for Mao, Stalin, and Lenin. The worship of government requires the full attention of the people. The enemies of Christianity are government secularists, the ACLU, Queers, and atheists. They are having their way and it seems none can stop the psychotics from gaining power — history proves this dozens of times as the Arkancurse continues another rise to power.
From the earliest instant, when even time itself had just come into being, the symmetry of the creation event was broken, and nuclear strong and weak/electromagnetic forces somehow therein also gave rise to gravitation which, though exceptionally weak by the other three, nonetheless gradually coalesced their parts into various galactic types and structures.
As we live in one out of billions of those spiral galaxies, two thirds of the way out from its dense center between whirling arms which are relatively debris and dust free; where metals are fairly well concentrated, but rarer in the Milky Way’s outer reaches…. Where too, were we further in, we wouldn’t be able to see the universe outside.
That we live in the habitable zone of a single G2V star, in a system with a large outer planet to sweep up a considerable amount of debris that might otherwise be drawn to the inner solar system and collide with Earth.
That we have a magnetic field which protects us from too much cosmic and solar radiation, and allows us too – geometrically by the more distant stars – to navigate around our planet.
That we have a moon massive enough to stabilize our planetary axis, giving us the seasons, and which perhaps also couples gravitationally to assist plate tectonics in recycling our oceanic crust and mantle, yielding a balance of nitrogen/oxygen and carbon dioxide to our atmosphere.
That the laws of physics at both the macro- and micro levels should be so fine tuned - and unified! - allowing these processes to be carried out at all.
That we are alive in such a system!
The odds of it – ALL - seem somehow inconceivable that there isn’t God who – being God sets the values of good and evil, and cares that we should prefer that Good.
"If I knew God I’d be Him." Though He’s there.
What's wrong with that picture?
Honestly, they must be intellectuals, 'cause I sure as heck don't understand what they're saying.
Me thinks thou dost protest too loudly.
Is this just a fatwa or did they declare jihad?
Ha! Good luck with that.
Psalms 2
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Tee hee! God works in mischievous ways . . .
Sure!....go tell it to radical Muslims!
And then he shall tinker with their presentation gadgetry.
This group would be beheaded first by Muslim terrorists.
bump for later
well said!
>>To the countries that have outright banned religion and imprisoned those who try to practice it (the ultimate test of the theory of separation of church and state).
You confuse “Separation of Church and State” with “Separation of Religion and Politics”. They are not the same thing.
LOL - ask the commies how well destroying religion is working for them. China is one of the fastest growing sectors of Christendom.
LOL, good luck with that, Dawky!
