    I hate modernity

    Very. But I'm not sure any kind of authority can fix the mess that is our culture.

    I hate modernity

    How can one love God when one has never actually met God? Christians talk about it being a relationship. But how can you love someone you never see or hear from? The relationship sounds very one sided to me.

    I hate modernity

    This is going to sound insulting, but that isn't my intention. Because... It's silly. It just is. Talking animals. Talking bushes. A guy living inside of a fish for three days. A guy building a large boat and gathering all the animals. It just goes on and on. By the time we get to Jesus, we're...

    I hate modernity

    @Matthias the demoralization. That's certainly what it feels like. I began to really notice it a little over ten years ago. The noticeable decline in things, usually entertainment, being produced in the West. I'll post a couple examples. These videos are 30 years apart. I think it demonstrates...

    I hate modernity

    Folklore. Old stories that are embellished for effect. Think of Greek mythology. The gods of Olympus were once considered real. They were even worshipped. But now we are fairly certain that this is all part of Greek mythology. But we've learned a lot in 2,000 years. I agree. I doubt they all...

    I hate modernity

    A being that holds power beyond imagining. Given his lack of appearances in modern times, at least compared to the time of Moses, I'm inclined to believe he has either given up on his creation, or was never involved beyond being a prime mover. I think that's an accurate definition.

    I hate modernity

    How could he? The Bible wasn't written when Christ walked the earth. Yes, in the sense that I believe the universe couldn't have come into it's existence on it's own. In that sense, I did believe in a singular supernatural event. I find it very difficult to believe in what is written in the...

    I hate modernity

    I agree with that. The bible itself. I just can't bring myself to believe in many of the stories the require a belief in the supernatural.

    I hate modernity

    I looked into Flew. He didn't become a Christian near the end of his life. He became a deist. It's not much of a stretch to go from atheist to deist given that science can't explain where life came from, or even the universe itself. When I look at the majesty of the cosmos, I too, become a...

    I hate modernity

    I just can't stand it any longer. I'm tired of seeing mediocrity praised and rewarded and treated like it's just as good as what came before when it isn't. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that western civilization is in decline. In many ways, it mirrors Rome's decline. It doesn't...

    CCP Proves ‘Climate’ Fight Not Really About Climate (Part 1)

    China isn't concerned because their only concern is expanding their influence.

    What would you do?

    It feels like time is going by faster these days.

    Does God know why he exists?

    Not really. I'd prefer to ask a butt load of questions. o_O

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    In some ways, sure. We don't actually know what a t-rex looks like. We have to make an educated guess. That's just one example. The thing is, science deals with the natural world. It's easier for me to believe in something when there is at least some evidence for it. But Christianity makes...
