When you push out God, Satan rushes in.
And the left thought that removing Christianity as an influence would stop stifling their “put your jubblies anywhere warm” good time.
Amen. Bump.
Ravi Zacharias once wrote, “Nature abhors a vacuum, especially a spiritual one, and though this flirtation with absolute secularism may win the momentary dawn of a new era, it will lose the day to more strident religions than the Christian belief. Of that, I am certain. Ask any Muslim missionary that question and he or she will tell you that is so.” Seems he was right.
Removing Christianity as an influence is always mistake #1. Then, once the Christian values are erased, everyone looks around at the smoldering remains of civilized society and wonders what went wrong.
As with capitalism, where one man sees trash, another sees opportunity. In this case, the ones that are taking advantage of the opportunity are Muslims intent on spreading throughout the western hemisphere.
This article is spot on. And to those FReepers who think there is too much “religion” here. All our freedoms come from God.
I've been saying this for years.. I am ashamed to have been born at a time to where I am connected with the 60's generation, although I never took part in that crazy movement.
Recently as I was reading OT, It hit me. 1Samuel: 7 & 8, when Israel had the protection of G_D, and when they strayed from the protection of G_D. Looks like History is repeating itself, both here and in the U.K.
Oh, didn’t the “Age of Reason” bring us total enlightenment and Utopia instead of 100’s of millions of dead people?
Doesn’t “Postmodernism” lead to everyone getting along because no one has a basis to tell someone else that their belief system is defective?
multiculturalism is a liberal disaster!
Of course the “moral vacuum” needs to be filled, but the problem in England lies in what it’s being filled with.
Feces by any other name is still... poop.
I like to put it this way:
Secularism exploited Christianity’s goodness.
Islam exploits Secularism’s weakness.
But what happened to cause it? Why did one generation so suddenly slough off its morality in favor of sexual gratification? What changed the culture so drastically so quickly? I don't think it could be law or the courts. Could the technologically-empowered media be the primary blame?
Of course, Christ saves our souls.
“the decline of Christian values has meant that Britain is now gripped by the doctrine of ‘endless self-indulgence’ which had led to the destruction of family life.”
The left has had tremendous success in punishing Christians but is afraid to say ‘boo’ to the Muslims. Maybe the Christians mistake was abandoning the Inquistion-fear certainly gets results when applied to the modern left.
At least that's what "The Century of Sex: Playboy's History of the Sexual Revolution, 1900-1999" says about it. I think they're right. And Pope Paul VI predicted the whole flamin' train-wreck 30 years before the publication of this very interesting book.
“When you push out God, Satan rushes in.”
See my tagline.
