Loss Of God Is Making Us Miserable

[Christina]

LOSS OF GOD IS MAKING US MISERABLE, SAY MPSMay 12, 2008The London Daily Telegraph reports: “Britons are unhappy because they are in spiritual poverty, not because they are materially poor, according to a group of MPs.A report by a cross-party group of Christian MPs says the country is wallowing in misery despite increasing wealth and emphasis on happiness in schools.Their study states: ‘One impetus behind this project was our sense that there is a strong feeling of disaffection among the inhabitants of these islands. It seemed to us that our national sense of wellbeing is at a low ebb; people are wanting something more out of life’.‘Given all the advances of recent years, we seek to understand why a sense of human wellbeing – happiness if you like – is not more widespread.’They claim society lacks a sense of well-being because of a loss of faith in God and religion.They point to the large number of self-help books on happiness available in bookshops, and research which claims people are no happier than 50 years ago despite increased personal wealth.The authors claim people are pursuing money at the expense of relationships, the environment and respect for each other.The report continues: ‘Our solutions do not involve yet more law or increased taxes, but rather a call to re-examine the decisions taken in every sector of society in the light of crucial life-changing principles.’They say all companies and MPs should consider whether any proposed decision will improve relationships in people's families and communities, and whether it is socially and globally responsible.The authors claim everyone's wellbeing would improve if Christian values were taken more seriously in society…”--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't necessarily say that I feel sorry for them. They themselves ejected Jesus Christ from their lives and decided to live without Him. Now, as I have read on the internet, they will be towing the line of a new religion in the near future....Can we say Islam?http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pag...d=1167467834546You know, ladies, you are very fortunate to live in a western society (where we are all created equal). Women in the western world are the most blessed creatures on the face of this earth. History has not been kind to women. And because they decided to eject Christianity, that equality may end in Europe. (I'm saying this because we had another thread about women in Christianity --- which showed that women have a place in Christianity which is honorable and respectable).http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,185647,00.html"As Riffat Hassan, professor of religious studies at the University of Louisville, puts it, 'The way Islam has been practiced in most Muslim societies for centuries has left millions of Muslim women with battered bodies, minds and souls.'"I'm sure it will be bad for the guys too, but the women will definitely be worse off.

Well, what can I say? Many Bits embraced alternative religions, or maybe none at all (atheism). Like the rest of the liberal crowd, they thought they were "enlightened" but are now suffering like a miserable brat bucking against his parents' authority. Some poke fun at Christianity, but when they say they "disproved" it for want of evidence, I often wonder what is put in its place? Well, now we see the answer, and America is headed that way too. Misery. The world's going to the dogs.Then again, for those with eyes to see, this has been prophesied and fits to a T what was to happen to Britain. We know about them fading as a flower, the once greatest empire on this earth, and the drunkards of Ephraim.There are some Brit and Aussies on these forums and other forums that I see, and their spirituality is strong, but sometimes I get the feeling that they feel like the odd-man-out in their country. They struggle more than we do here in America.When America goes that way, and the bill of rights is ditched (and we see that now), then and only then can a system of Antichrist take over, and then look up, your redemption draws nigh.
