I must confess that I had to read this four or five times to make sure I wasn't reading it wrong. Faith is NOT a struggle through a meaninglessness existence and can only happen by "connecting" with other. Is God on Facebook now?
Scriptures says that faith is the assurance of things hopeful and the evidence of things not seen. Faith is given to us by God if we ask. Life is not a bed of roses but it is far from meaningless.
This is what "religious" professors have evolved into.
I’d love to ask the good professor if the violent impoverished world of islam is a punishment for turning away from God.
I have a feeling his answers would be “interesting”.
Sad, but true. He sounds as if he has drifted into New Age philosophy. It's rather presumptuous for one self-professed Christian to comment on another's lack of faith.
Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?
This was balderdash. Perhaps it passes for a “publication” in the ‘publish or perish’ game.
