Instead, Naff states, “blah,blah,blah,blah...”
Fat chance God hater.
Because atheism has worked so well in the past 100 years.
Just bless Mr. naff’s heart....he must have been the special boy on his block
While we’re making suggestions for groups we want nothing to do with, I’d like to suggest liberals stop using these as a moral guide
* The Communist Manifesto
* Mein Kampf
* Any court decisions written by RBG
“To anyone free of ancient prejudices ...”
I.e., morality ...
When he suggests that Muslims stop using the Quran as the basis for their morals, I will consider him, not as correct, but as at least consistent. Since this will never happen, I will stop listening and get back to the work the Lord has given me in order to occupy until He comes.
I have been watching the first of a series of documentaries by Adam Curtis titled “The Trap”. Fascinating and it explains a lot of recent history that I was aware of but not in a “connected” sense. One of the things he points out is that in the 60s psychiatrists led by Laing had begun to see the family as a place of fear and hostility through the theories of Nash who pointed out that we all live in “The Prisoner’s Dillema” and are all motivated solely by self interest that produces a “dynamic equilibrium” and not the chaos philosophers had assumed would result.
I am willing to accept all of this as my recollections of growing up in the 50s contains many memories of the series of daily spankings I got for “pursuing my own self interest.” LOL. I do believe Laing was on to something but I don’t believe anyone ever asked the question “As opposed to what?”
What is the alternative to family? This is the question explored by works such as “Brave New World” and others and like American Democracy is a poor form of government, is the best ever devised. So the family may produce mental illness through unspoken “negotiated agreements” that are contradictory and stress producing any alternative to the family will be WORSE for the individuals involved.
Humans suffer under a dynamic tension between our desire for society, fellowship, and our need to be individuals. As much as we want to pretend we can do better by creating new models and theories I just don’t think we can do better than Locke and Smith. If there were a better alternative than “the family” I can’t help but think that over ten thousand years or more that better alternative would have succeeded. There have been many efforts to replace the family and they have all failed.
Instead of focusing on Huffpo, I’d like to bring up the issue that the UM Church has been forced to finally draw SOME line in the sand against the forces of liberalism in their ranks to push the church away from the Bible in matters of sexuality. There is a schism in the church now that is ready to break if things don’t change back to following the Gospel.
Oh the “humanist”… they offer essentially what the Serpent offered in Genesis 3:5: …“you shall be like God knowing good and evil”. But there’s “fine print”... one knows “good and evil” only in the small context of their own corrupt little hearts. Your “good and evil” will often be in conflict with others “good and evil”. History has judged this choice… wars, holocausts and various forms of murder and cruelty often the result. As Judges 17 and 25 observed: “In those days there was no king(God) in Israel… everyone did what was ‘right’ in their own eyes”. Seven billion possible little “g” gods all doing their “good and evil” thing? I may think it’s “good” to kill you and take your stuff... I would speculate you may not agree with my “good”, and may even consider it “evil”.
(Real) God help us! Deliver us from the evil of the “humanist”!
On the other hand, it's a great place to learn "What NOT to do..."!
...A Huffington Post Humanist Urges the Church to Stop Using the Bible as a Moral Guide...
As the descent to the abyss continues, hurried along by fringe lunatic liberals.
That’s like asking a Physicist to quit using math as the basis of their studies.
Secular humanists have a morality of subjectivism and relativism, which allows them to do what feels good and which allows self actualization. They can’t stand absolutism and objective principles.
Wonder what he has to say about the Koran?
“God’s word will never fail us.” Amen
Ah, but the Koran is fine Worship of Caliph Omar who beheaded his daughter is fiiine and so accademic. Same with worship of Stalin or Mao or Marxism...
Loved, this, some might have seen it before.

I asked her If my country or half its citizens,(her half)will still let me live in this country, being married to a man and all? Will they let me live the life I have chosen for the past half century or am I a homophobe, misogynists and deplorable for the rest of my life?
The author said ancient prejudice? Sorry, but God is still alive. He still views that as sin and the person is openly and willfully sinning without seeing it as sin.
How could they expect to be a pastor if they defy the book they claim to teach? They don’t even know right from wrong.
