Grace to them for pointing out the dangers of the new atheism.
Jesus said, “In the last days, good will look evil and evil will look good”.
Church of Christ?
Frankly, I'm surprised it's not higher. :(
Just be prepared folks: In the coming days, this mindset will rule. Christians are being persecuted around the world and WILL be persecuted here. Some of that is already happening.
In fact, despite our best efforts (which we are obligated to expend), WE WILL LOSE.
That is, until He returns. Then the tables turn real fast and forever.
JMHO, of course.
Logically, Dawkin’s only reference of what is good or evil is his personal preference if he really holds his own worldview.
People haven’t changed. Technology has changed. Ease of communication and the speed at which false beliefs can spread has changed. But the pagan worldview has not.
This planet is on the clock.
Atheists like Dawkins are themselves dishonest. They have formed a substitute “church” mainly occupied with attacking Christianity. The most a scientist can say about any god through his scientific research is, “I don’t know.” However they approach values, ethics and morals, they are in the dominion of philosophy and theology. They often are proud to say that humans are nothing special and have no more intrinsic value than dung beetles. All their actions belie that statement.
Of course humans are vastly different than other creatures in that they are the only creature that can understand where in the universe we are, what the universe is and hold beliefs in what is good or evil. Therefore, it’s not a stretch to say that human life is special and valuable. As this author says, are we to abort a human without understanding each person’s potential (Steven Hawkins example).
Richard Dawkins says life on earth started by aliens hitchhiking on the backs of crystals.
Like Dawkins, his response always devolved to "Atheists are smarter than you Christians. Therefore, I'm right."
Hey, at least he has balls. Most everybody else apologizes for everything controversial nowadays.
I wouldn’t hold up Hawking as an example of someone who’s existence is a benefit to humanity.
The thing that makes abortion so attractive to people with Down syndrome pregnancies is a health care system in which government intervention has helped prices to skyrocket.
He must be very gratified that Atheism is the State Religion in public schools.
When you have no God, no higher authority, you can make and break all of the rules.
