Good will to all men? Not from the grumpy atheists! (Thank God not all atheists are grumpy but there sure seems to be a lot of them)
Why is it that so many in the atheist community cannot bring themselves to get past their anger whenever they engage in discussions? The language of many of their contributions in public debate is laced with invective and dripping with sarcasm and bile. There are exceptions of course, but they tend to fall more into the category of being the 'exception that proves the rule' when compared to the hostility of many of today's atheist posters. Comment offered by the theists in the public square is often depicted as being 'malicious' or 'venomous' and intended to enslave the 'feeble minded and weak' by those who post. Nothing could be further from the truth. Venom is something that is oriented to death. Christians are oriented in a 180 degree different direction. We speak not to the culture of death that grips our world but rather for the culture of life and light which ends with the gift of eternal life. For example, the Catholic Church in its hum...
It’s one thing to observe a correlation but it’s quite a leap to conclude that the correlation is a causal one and even if it is a causal one , is it in the right direction to support the Pope’s claim?
ReplyDeleteThis sort of proclaiming false ‘victory’ serves nothing but to detract credibility from legitimate and sound arguments supporting the ‘pro-life’ side.
Also life expectancy is Russia has dropped dramatically over the last few decades. Maybe contraception causes early death.
ReplyDeleteNo Rationalist1, the drop in life expectancy in Russia has been directly correlated to a decrease in drug and alcohol abuse. In Canada where drug and alcohol abuse have been on the increase over the past few decades, life expectancy has risen over the same period of time. This is why in Ontario we want to bring alcohol into our corner stores and legalize drugs.
ReplyDeleteThere is clearly a significant correlation here.

ReplyDeleteNo surprise here at all. It does nothing to change the momentum in the course for the future of humankind though.There always has been and will continue to be those who lag behind and resist change, progress and growth.Jesus refers to these as "the dead."
Actually , I have just now seen the brilliance in this proposal. “Let the dead look after the dead.”
ReplyDeleteLarry I'd love to see the scripture passage that you think backs your idea that Christ would count those that don't support two homosexuals getting married as "the dead"?
ReplyDeleteI don't think you are telling the truth 'Anonymous.' Isn't true that you'd hate to see it?
ReplyDeleteYou aren't telling the truth 'Anonymous.' Isn't it the truth that you'd hate to see it?
ReplyDeleteDon't concern yourself whether I'll love it or not Larry, just back up your claims with the scriptures that support it. Or are there any? Jesus never concerned himself with offending people with the truth, nor should you, if in fact that is what you speak.
ReplyDeleteYou aren't prepared for it Anonymous.
