Many people in the churches don’t want to hear about “the goodness and the severity of God” either. They want their ears tickled.
You don't see a lot of evolution threads, mainly creation threads.
"All of the bars would be closed, pornography banished, and pristine streets would be filled with tidy pedestrians who smiled at each other. There would be no swearing. The children would say, "Yes, sir" and "No, ma'am," and churches would be full every Sunday...where Christ is not preached."
I wish Natural Law was discussed more often at FR.
It is the philosophy behind our Declaration of Independence and was codified in our Constitution. It is impossible to understand the beauty of our founder’s vision without a basic understanding of Natural Law.
Aquinas described the natural law as being nothing more than that part of the Divine Law inscribed on the hearts of all men. One does not even have faith to have been inculcated with the natural law.
Quite right. For instance, it is that tug of conscience or quiet voice that, independent of religious education, questions the morality and right legality of abortion and homosexual “marriage.”
