Where do athesists think their inner voice of what "we think is right" originates? Believers try to do the right thing, not out of fear of later punishment, but out of a longing for an inner peace that comes from obedience to the life God intended for us to live. Christians can release the guilt of falling short in that quest through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ who lifts that burden from our shoulders.
Some quote about secular humanism triumphing over the bloody corpse of Christianity has floated around. It was from an NEA article, publication, or speech.
Carl Sagan was a dedvout renouncer of a belief system.
It's easy to be a naysayer and deny the obvious. Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees.
Finding ways to communicate with secular humanists effectively could be the way to present Christianity to the Islamo-fascist crowd. Simply expounding on "beliefs" and "feelings" won't work to convince the unbeliever.
Amen, preach it!!! I once was separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and a stranger to the covenant of promise. But now, I have been brought nigh and have peace by the cross of Christ.
