I, too, think happiness is linked with belief in God and the afterlife.
One of the reasons the left has become so hateful and unhinged is because of the rise of the atheist movement.
Agreed.
This should be a very good thread.
BINGO! We have a winner. It all does thread back to G*d. If you have the worldview and belief system that after a some painful illness you will become wormfood and cease to exist then our nature will cause us to react in a negative way and display traits not very Chris like(Hate, treachery, selfishness, murder, callousness, self love). I know alot of liberals are New Age and Eastern Mystic types, but those belief system ultimately consist of essentially the same thing, you will die and eventually lose your identity and soul and fall into some endless sleep. It's our nature to be rebellious and sinful and liberalism is the same old lie fed to Eve, that we can be G*ds, we can change the unchangeable, we can go at it our own way without our Heavenly Father. Liberals basically have no peace in their life, it's why when they win a battle they seem to get more angry and determined. Their empty hole can never be filled, with humanly pursuits such as spreading the wealth or other sloganeering. Sadly most of the world and ultimately most of the hardcore leftist are going to find out that endless soul sleep is not what awaits them, but the fires of hell. Not because they were angry, petulant, or bitter but because they forsaked the Lord Jesus Christ, they didn't need or want him or believe in him.
