I know Prager U but facts
More like Prager Jew
Boomer I know haha
literally why atheism is the worst notion man ever conceived. it provides for no moral code, thus it treats man as a means to an end, and by extension dehumanizes them so a few disappearing isn't a big deal to them.
why is communism really appealing to people? because if there is no absolute moral standard then it leaves people free to act how they please, regardless of how morally abhorrent it might be. I'm not just talking about the bigger things, I'm talking about stealing not being a big deal, or greed not having an impact on your active conscience, or rather not being burdened by the though that what one is doing is wrong. The irony is that in this totalitarian system (as communism eventually regresses to), the little sins you make end up costing you your livelihood or worse, your life. exactly what happens if you live rejecting god.
Communists want free shit basically
Stealing it from someone means free to them
Jealous because someone else has more instead of being content with their lives
Obama actually said it, "the rich means anyone who has more than someone else"
it's more than that ragnarok, it boils down to them wanting being free from consequences, either of lifestyle choices, or freedom from that nagging feeling in the back of everyone's head that if you do something wrong your conscience will tell you.
it's actually ironic that atheism in this sense, in promising free will, takes it away from you
That's why people choose atheism, but not necessarily communism
there are no religious communists
Atheism is freedom from consequences. You die and you're dead, no God to punish you
if you find one, i'll be surprised
There are atheists who are not communist
That's the group I was referring to
In the early days of communism in China the Christians tended to side more with the communists than the nationalists. Of course neither were capitalist, but the KMT tended to be run more by rich bureaucrats
Because in the beginning they didn't present themselves as an anti-Christian movement like the Russians did
which is another way of saying they didn't actually know better
A lot of them weren't truly commies, they were just truly hungry
But they are a special and abnormal case
perhaps. I doubt there were many, if any genuine christians in the communist leadership in china though
In leadership definitely not
as we know, Christians aren't unique in putting their chips in the right place all the time. We do seem more common though, when it comes to promptly admitting our faults and asking for forgiveness. I'm just ranting about atheism this early because I'm reading some of Lee Strobel's works.
Lot of stuff I didn't know before reading them, like far more than I thought I knew
the biggest bit was that Science cannot provide a single proof for the origin of life. Microevolution, yes, but not the idea that we all have a common ancestor.
Who is he?
Lee Strobel is an american author and former atheist who wrote a book examining the proof for Christ as a lawyer would
"The case for Christ"
he examined almost every facet you could from medical scholars to archeologists to several people with doctorates in New and Old Testament study to come to the conclusion that Jesus is the Unique Son of God.
My theory of evolution is that the genetic code for variations was already present in each species created.
And the offspring varied like a random roll of dice, with some inheriting some genes, others getting other genes
Not quite microevolution. Not an actual change.
Maybe some types survived in some places because of natural selection (others died out), or because animals inhering certain features chose to migrate to favorable places.
Or maybe they migrated somewhere and God chose in some way for their offspring to manifest certain traits that had been dormant genes before
Supernatural selection
there isn't enough time for what you're suggesting. Think of this. Life more or less came into being only 540-60 million years ago, and almost all of the animal Phyla came fully formed, meaning some with the traits they would hold for millions of years. this in itself is another miracle, but the bigger miracle is that life arose in the first place. no biologist can solve the most fundamental problem of evolution, that being the ultimate origin of life, because they are incapable of solving the assembly problem.
I don't believe in the old earth model
the idea that the earth is billions of years old?
