The world’s loss, but more theirs.
God is not laughing, but he will get the last laugh.
Secularism is death.
Canucks, good luck with that socialism thing. Have fun worshipping the state.
Canada is a dull, uninspiring, materialist soft-left kind of place - at least It’s cities . The other parts of the country are beautiful
A majority of Canadians do not understand that paganism is a religion. A majority of “secular” Americans don’t understand this either.
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice ? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? — Washington’s Farewell Address
I think you will find that decline in the faithful is true in all socialist countries and the closer they come to true communism the greater the loss in numbers. Actually, the subscribers to socialism substitute the state for God.
There was a news story yesterday that scientists are about to create procreation of humans without the benefit of human interaction. Can you imagine what a world would look like with children having the state for parents???
A new poll suggests more Canadians than ever believe religion does more harm than good, but even the pollsters disagree on what the numbers mean for the future of faith in the country.
