?Why do weak people always turn to God?
Only the weak who are wise turn to God. God is where strength resides and is freely given.
There are other things that are not necessarily bad for you but they are bad if used to attempt to gain strength. The weak who are not wise turn to many other things for strength, some of which I will list here:
Islam, environmentalism, liberalism, drugs, intellectualism, pride in rejecting God, pursuit of goods, sex, money, politics, power, Democrat party, abortion, etc.
There is nothing more silly and tragic that a person who puffs himself up believing he is self sufficient.
One day soon, this person will bend his knee and say with his mouth that
Jesus is Lord.
You certainly are brainwashed. Liberals = bad. Sex = bad. intellectualism = bad. environmentalism = bad.
I guess since the rapture is coming so soon, who needs anything right? We should all just quit our jobs and pray all day.
All i read from you is that you are the typical white male evangelical christian republican who needs other people to tell him what's good and bad and regurgitates catchphrases to make his point. I can do that too.
A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.
A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward.
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 - 1945)
The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out the conservative adopts them
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Thomas Paine (1737 ? 1809)
"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
-Stephen Roberts
"Why do I make room in my mind for such filth and
nonsense? Do I hope that if feeling disguises itself
as thought I shall feel less? Aren?t all these notes
the senseless writhings of a man who won?t accept the
fact that there is nothing we can do with suffering
except to suffer it? Who still thinks there is some
device (if only he could find it) which will make pain
not to be pain. It doesn?t really matter whether you
grip the arms of the dentist?s chair or let your hands
lie in your lap. The drill drills on." - C. S. Lewis
