“ALL MIXED UP” …
“ALL MIXED UP” I – CREATION vs CREATOR
humanity “dazed and confused” … in-consistent … in-coherent … arbitrary)
SCIENCE, GOD and ATHEISM (Scientism – Modern Mythology)
Science REVEALS God. God REVEALS Science
TODAY’s CIVIL WAR-crusade – ANCIENT “SUPERSTITION[s] VS MODERN “SACRED COWS” …
“SCIENTISM” is PSEUDO-scientific – “Modern MYTHOLOGY”
“CREATION”? … a “CREATOR” ? … “technically” … STILL scientific “UNSOLVED MYSTERIES” …
Science and God are COMPLEMENTARY, NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE and NOT CONTRADICTORY
ATHEISM is an IRRATIONAL BLIND FAITH which destroys science and ANTI-logic
We have good reason to be SKEPTICAL of the SCEPTICS
The MORE we learn about “science” and “nature”, the MORE we realize what we DO NOT KNOW.
WHAT WE “KNOW” (empirical “science”)… AND WHAT WE “THINK WE KNOW”(“scientism” – closet metaphysics) are two SEPARATE THINGS …
The MORE we learn about “CREATION” (design) … the MORE we recognize the “CREATOR” (designer)…
DIVINE DENIAL … reality SMELLS like a DUCK … WALKS like a duck … QUACKS like a duck … SMELLS like a duck … is WET like a duck …
The DUCK tells us (REVEALS) it IS a DUCK …
THEN LIKELY IT is a “DUCK” … the “TRUTH” is a DUCK …
“RHETORIC” CLAIMS IT’s a CHICKEN… (despite the empirical evidence)
GOD is “HIDING” in PLAIN SIGHT … the “joke” is on us …
We humans are willingly OBLIVIOUS to the OBVIOUS…
GOD (the great “I AM”) IS GOD … NOT an “IDOL” … GOD SUBSTITUTE …
DIVINE “VERITAS” vs human VANITY …
“BE YOUR SELF” (human-ism) … BUT “WHO AM I” ? (theism)
the “MIRROR of MAN” vs “IMAGE of GOD“
“man the measure of ALL things” VS. “for the glory of GOD”
SECULAR “SELF” (identity, idolatry & “narcissism”) has led to a starvation of SPIRIT & SOUL (integrity & character) …
“shallow” & superficial VS “deep”& “transcendent”
GLORY of GOD (“the Almighty”) vs GLOOM of man (“absurd” – nihilism, narcissism, nonsense)
HISTORICAL DESTINY (revealed) vs “DESPAIR” (“know-nothings”)
TRANSCENDENCE & TRAGEDY vs OBLIVION (nihilism), “TAIL-SPIN” and DEATH
“PERVERSE hearts of DISbelief” declare GOD is NOT… humanity PREFERS darkness rather than light …
C.S. Lewis claimed a LUNATIC in an ASYLUM who writes DARKNESS on the walls of his padded room can not BLOT OUT the SUN …
GOD’s way, truth and light ENABLES humanity to SEE EVERYTHING ELSE …
This world is INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED BEYOND our understanding, a CREATION of PURPOSE, MEANNG, COMPLEXITY and DESIGN.
HUMAN ORIGINS, despite the “propaganda”, is STILL an UNSOLVED MYSTERY.
EMBARRASSING QUESTIONS … still remain …
When and Where did LIFE START?
When, where and HOW did “IN-animate” become “ANIMATE”?
What exactly is the SOURCE of meaning, purpose, thought, “conscience”, morals?
TRUE “SCIENCE” is EMPIRICAL – observable, testable, EXPLAINable …
“SCIENTISM” is OPINION … pseudo-science … modern mythology … a closet meta-physics – philosophy …
“scientific” (natural) VS “supernatural” SUPERSTITION”? …
ATHEISM in the long run has NO “ANSWERS” …
based on its nihilism … IF we are just “random accidents” caught between periods of OBLIVION (beginning and ending) …
“SECULAR” (self-explanatory) explanations deny the “SACRED” (transcendent)…
We walk in the TRUTH, SEEKING the LIGHT … PURPOSED with a DESTINY” …
NIHILISM … negation of everything … is IMPOSSIBLE to live …
“nothing-ness” is a “parasite” on “something-ness” …
Truth vs Lies … Light vs Darkness … Meaning vs meaning-less-ness …
Atheists are IL-llogical “parasites” – rejecting the “tree” of reality, CUTTING the “BRANCH” they are SITTING ON …
psychotic ,,, neurotic … nihilistic … narcissistic cats chasing their OWN TAIL …
“visions” stuck starting into the own narcissistic “belly button” windows of God-less pseudo-reality…
“ALL MIXED UP” II … “CORRUPT” (depraved) vs “CORRECT” (pseudo-divine) …
(humanity “dazed and confused” … in-consistent … in-coherent … arbitrary in our consistency)
“TEMPORAL” (creatures-citizens-political animals) VS TRANSCENDENT (child-image of God) JUDGMENT
“DIMENSIONS” of “reality” …
totalitarianism (“fundamentalism”) not “totality” (not very “fundamental”) …
at war with “NATURE” – (logical paradox)
hierarchies in our “egalitarianism’ (all sinners in need of God’s grace) …
EQUALITY riddled with equality “some of us are “more equal” than others)
“Progressives”…Post-modernists… Neo-Marx-ists … Reconstruction-ists … whateverthey call themselves… are “PHARISEES” – POSEURS … are SELF-RIGHTEOUS HYPOCRITESwhose “VIRTUE signaling” in the public square and political “theater” CAMOUFLAGE their VICES…
Their moral relativity “Stains Gnats and Swallow Camels” if they have a “MORAL COMPASS”at all.
We are expressly told NOT to TAKE GOD’s NAME in VAIN … i.e. KILL IN HIS NAME…
YET HUMANs DO KILL-MURDER OTHERS … in their own god’s (idol-atrous god substitute’s) name …
“White-washed houses (on the outside) full of dead men’s bones” (on the inside). Beware their “leaven” … self-righteous hypocrisy …
REJECTION of “SIN” (ignored) …
“SIN” = Greek “hamartia” … MISSING the MARK … falling short … in OUR HUMAN FLAWS …
PROJECTION of “PROGRESS” (imagined) …
A PRESUMPTION of “GUILT” vs “INNOCENCE” …
REBELLION – REJECTing God’s Ultimate Judgment and Authority …
GARDENS of EDEN and (totalitarian) TOWERS … (of Babel) …
C.S. Lewis said History is the Long … Sad story of humanity’s search for something OTHER THAN GOD (idolatry = God substitutes) to make them them happy …
Atheists deceptively CLAIM to lead the way to “science” and moral “progress” … the “truth” is exactly the opposite.
“REGRESSIVES” of reductionism, resentment, retribution, revenge, and repression
“ALL MIXED UP” – moral-ly confused and without “compass”
The BLIND lead the BLIND … VICTIMS victimize … the OPRRESSED Oppress … the EXPLOITED exploit … BELLIGERANT “victimize” with BELLIGERANCE …
The INTOLERANT project their anger and resentments (OWN obsessions) onto society (OTHERS) …
“TERROR” and “TOTALITARIAN TEMPER TANTRUMS” on SOCIETY at large …
in “normal” history … POWER CORRUPTS … in their narcissistic world … their POWER “CORRECTS” ...
ALL WHO “RESIST” THEIR FASCIST “WILL-to-POWER” are “HERETICS … “ENEMIES of the STATE” … “DEPLORABLES’ … “CLINGERS” … etc.
“RESISTANCE is FUTILE” … “PHILISTINES” out to destroy in their UN-HOLY CRUSADE. Nothing is sacred. Nobody is Safe.
The “logical” conclusion of atheism is IL-logic and IR-rationality.
Rather than upholding science, atheism destroys the foundations that underlie science.
“ALL MIXED UP” III – “SCIENCE” … CANNOT BE “SCIENTIFIC-ally “PROVED” …
is the COSMOS “OPEN” or “CLOSED” ???
“scientific”-natural VS “supernatural” ? …
SCIENTISM … “”closet” philosophy and opinions camouflaged … pseudo-science
Far from promoting human progress, atheism DEGRADES humanity and inevitably leads to moral DECAY in society.
DE-CONSTRUCTION leads to DYSTOPIAN DESTRUCTION.
“ZINN-sanity” – “SALVATION” REQUIRES “SUICIDE”.
DIABOLICAL MALIGNANT NARCISSISM
Postmodernist attitudes are the result of centuries of atheist DISEASE and influence upon the West; betraying an ANTI-CHRISTIAN, MARX-ist MALEVOLENCE, ANIMUS and ALIENTAITON camouflaging an “AGENDA” – “Overthrow God and Destroy Capitalism” … I will walk triumphantly … over a world destroyed”.
As the Oxford mathematician John Lennox has noted the scientists of the early Modern era were Christians because their faith in God led them to expect ORDER and STABILITY in the universe.
Many who laid the foundations of science in the post-Reformation West were DEVOUTLY Christian people, BELIEVING that the study of the CREATION was a kind of WORSHIP to GOD.
God gave us rationality so that we could use it to study and learn more about the world in which we live.
MOST “SCIENTISTS” were-are “BELIEVERS” … NOT ATHEISTS
believers: “men do NOT live long WITHOUT GODS” ...
IS GOD “HARD-WIRED” into us (an illusory OPIATE)
OR …
ARBITRARILY SOFT-WIRED as ARTIFICIAL “SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS” …
The MIND (not merely my “brain”) and my sense organs are a GIFT of GOD …
“CONSCIOUSNESS” is NOT the same as “MIND” and “MATERIAL” …
MATERIALism REDUCES everything DOWN to the absurd … (nothing-ness … non-sense)
materialism is a “BLIND FAITH” in a “CLOSED UNIVERSE” that cannot be scientifically “proven’ …
“OBJECTIVE” = OUTSIDE “the BOX”
OBJECTIVE “REALITY” REQUIRES GOD … is “GOD – INCLUSIVE” …
ATHEISM is SUBJECTIVE
gives me sufficient ground to trust it as being reliable in giving me INDORMATION about this EXCEPTIONAL universe which we are privileged to call home.
ATHEISTS are “AUTHORITARIANS” WHO LACK “AUTHORITY” …
Suppose that we live in a world that is merely a cosmic ACCIDENT? …
… suppose – for the sake of argument – that the MATERIAL REALITY is ALL that exists and there is NO SPIRITUAL DIMENSION WHATSOEVER (reality reduced)
This materialist, atheist world view believes “MIND” is purely a MATERIAL phenomenon and is directly equivalent to the brain.
There is no aspect whatsoever to the mind that is immaterial under this view.
The brain-mind is merely a conglomeration of nerves and chemicals.
In a purely physical, materialistic world, what we perceive as emotions, thoughts and feelings are merely the result of chemicals firing around in our brain.
Even our deepest moral sentiments are simply the products of how our brain has been evolved to think and perceive reality.
But if this is true, then how can the atheist say that his senses and rational powers are capable of giving him an accurate depiction of reality?
IS THERE “CERTAINTY” and “LOGIC” (objectivity) in a “RANDOM” and “ACCIDENTAL” (subjective) UNIVERSE?
“LOGIC” in NOT entirely “logical” …
“LOGIC” has “LIMITS”
PERCEPTION vs REALITY …
WE ALL SEE THROUGH GLASSES … WORLD-VIEWS … “VISIONS in COLLISION“?
If the mind is simply a physical organ that is determined to function and act in a particular way (because of the evolutionary path that it happened to take), then there are NO RATIONAL GROUNDS for TRUSTING your PERCEPTION or your ability to reason.
Everything – in an atheistic worldview – is a cosmic accident …
and the way your brain thinks and perceives something to be ‘rational’ or ‘logical’ or ‘reasonable’ is merely an accident as well.
If “evolution” (random accident) had taken a different path, then your brain might not even have existed…
OR it would have existed, but it would be operating in a different manner, giving you a different perception of what you call ‘reality’. In that situation, you would have had radically different beliefs and ways of perceiving the world.
What you today call ‘reasonable’ might under other circumstance appear absurd or farcical.
The ATHEIST falls into a QUANDARY
“LIFE”? – random, accidental REACTION vs purposed, designed, intelligent RESULT
“RELATIVISM” EVENTUALLY MAKES EVERYTHING “IR-RELEVANT” … a “slippery slope” … quicksand …
“The Revolution” eventually “eats its own” … cannibalistic conformity … cynicism … suicidal self-destruction …
Resenting “the TREE” by CUTTING off the branch you are SITTING on. (self-defeating)
One alternative is that he can admit the fact and say that he simply ‘trusts’ his ability to reason and operates with that as his basic epistemological presupposition. (a “FUNDAMENTAL” BELIEF … NOT VERY “FUNDAMENTAL” …
Atheists are “materialists” that must REDUCE everything DOWN … to “material reality” …
Material EXISTENCE is ALL that exists … “MATTER” (concrete) is ALL THAT MATTERS” ...
BUT HOW DO WE “KNOW” THAT WE “KNOW” THAT? (epistemology)
But if this is so, then he cannot in good conscience criticize religious faith, since that too is a nd of trust in things we might NOT be able to “PROVE” with EMPIRICAL mathematical accuracy
Another “alternative” – radical POST-MODERNISM (“re-construction”,
looking at ALL things – science included -as human-engineered SOCIAL CONTRUCTS with NO “scientific” SOLIDITY or FOUNDATION
EVERYTHING is viewed with SKEPTICISM, since even scientific observations are dependant upon human perception, which cannot be ‘proven’ per se to be RELIABLE!
EVERYTHING is “RELABLY” UN-RELIABLE …
circular reasoning … still evades the basic “PROOF” is STILL UN-PROVABLE … devolution into nothingness …
SKEPTICISM of the “SKEPTICS” ???
IF the Universe is ONLY a “CLOSED BOX” … HOW WOULD WE KNOW ??? … (cosmology)
the ONLY WAY to “PROVE” the “closed box” is to stand OUTSIDE the box ...
“ALL MIXED UP” – (humanity “dazed and confused” … in-consistent … in-coherent … arbitrary in or consistency?)
IS OUR “OBJECTIVITY” SUBJECTIVE and-or our SUBJECTIVITY OBJECTIVE?
TANGIBLE vs CONCRETE “REALITY
How exactly do we “scientifically” EXPLAIN things such as “MORALITY”.
It SEEMS we all – atheists and theists included – have basic moral instincts.
Did GOD GIVE us (a priori inborn – “hard-wired”) a basic knowledge of what is right and wrong, “convictions” that certain things are basically right and others are basically wrong ??? …
OR ...
… are they LEARNED or “evolved” externally (soft-wired”) … only through human “experience”
But can the atheist say such a thing?
Certainly, atheists have moral beliefs, but can they justify those beliefs?
If there is no God and if materialistic naturalism is true, then there are no objective moral principles.
Whatever morality we MIGHT have is purely subjective.
Our mind is conditioned to think in a particular way – morally speaking – because of external accidental circumstances. Morality, in an atheistic worldview, inevitably becomes either a psychological CONSTRUCT or a societal one.
IS it primarily evolution that conforms us to have certain moral instincts.
BUT there is no guarantee that evolution would have taken the path it ultimately took. On the latter view, morality is primarily the result of societal conditioning – we happen to live in a society that values liberty and freedom; therefore, we have learned to value them as well.
Had we lived in a cannibalistic society we would have had different moral values. This is Cultural Relativism – a philosophy – no particular moral code is intrinsically superior to another, since they are all cultural constructsand all cultures are equally true and equally false.
The problem is not that atheists don’t have a sense of morality – they GENERALLY do.
The problem, rather, is that their metaphysical worldview does not permit an OBJECTIVITY foundation for their morality.
“ALL MIXED UP” – IV – OBJECTIVITY = SUBJECTIVE … and SUBJECTIVITY = OBJECTIVE
Prominent thinkers and philosophers encourage people to embrace a worldview in which everything is fundamentally meaningless – nihilism, narcissisism, non-sense leading us nowhere.
A society of depression and despair that DENIES true meaningand valueto our lives.
Atheism degrades human beings. ATHEISM results in DE-VOLUTION.
Yet, many atheists identify as ‘humanists’? Many theists claim to fight for human rights and oppose “oppression”, yet are OBLIVIOUS to the UN-INTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
The “road to hell”is paved with good intentions”.
Atheists claim that the modern West is proof that we can have morality without God.
What was-is the source of the greatest IN-“humanity” in history?
“ALL MIXED UP” V – HUMANITY and “IN-HUMANITY”
PARADOXICALLY … OUR “HUMANITY” REFLECTS OUR “IN-HUMANITY” ...
UNITED by our DOUBTS … DIVIDED by our CONVICTIONS … – Peter Ustinov
Has “the problem” of “IN-humanity” been more “Religious” OR IR-religious societies?
Hitler’s Germany? Soviet Russia? Mao-ist China?
EVIL … which both RESIDES (in all – externally manifested) … REJECTED (internally rejected)
would a society “IMAGINED” without “religion” be UTOPIAN? or “NOWHERE” … “pretended” …
Has THEISM in fact PREVENTED more “IN-umanity” on earth than it has caused?
If “sinful” people did not USE “religion” as an “EXCUSE” to rationalize the killing of people, would they just find another reason to rationalized their actions?
At the TOWER of BABEL, GOD “INTERVENED” to PROTECT US – FROM OURSELVES …
“ALL MIXED UP” – VI – MISTAKEN IDENTITY & IDOL-atry – WE SHALL BE as GODs
the OLDEST LIE … TRUTH “CHALLENGED” … IF THERE is NO GOD … EVERYTHING is PERMISSIBLE …
Deep down, everyone has a sense of right and wrong, revealing a UNIVERSAL SENSE of “OUGHT”.
A “sense” has been “given” by God.
If you want proof that a Divine Law does indeed exist, then turn to your own conscience. eep down, everyone knows that good and evil are real, but over time they manufacture philosophies and ideologies to rationalise away what they do not want to be true.
Because if there is a Divine Law, you are not ‘free’ to enjoy things that are evil, however attractive or pleasurable that might be.
IF there is a Divine Law, there must also be a Divine Law-GIVER before whom we are all accountable for our actions.
Good without fear of punishment or consequences … good be sought for its own sake, rather than FEAR (awareness) of GOD.
THERE is NO JUDGEMENT WITHOUT STANDARDS …
GOD’s RIGHTEOUSNESS … NOT OURS …
Fear (“awareness”) of Lhe LORD is the BEGINNING of KNOWLEDGE … UNDERSTANDING … (Proverbs 9)
If there is no God, then good and evil are both illusions and have NO REAL existence.
If that is so, then, like DOSTOEVSKY stated, EVERYTHING is permitted, since all things are then IM-morally equal.
The TOWER of BABEL warned against humanity UNRESTRAINED, to do as they “IMAGINED”.
Human rebellion against God, creation vs Creator …
The ALMIGHTY vs the Absurd … (nihilism, narcissism, nonsense, nowhere)
Human-earthly“ISMS” – IDOL-atry – god substitutes: Marx-ism, socialism, collectivism, totalitarianism, tribalism, cannibalism, egalitarianism, Freudianism, Hedonism, utopianism, nihilism, narcissism, existentialism, paganism, transcendenatalism, romanticism, barbarism, primitivism, utilitarianiam, feudalism, humanism, feminism, relativism, pantheism, naturalism, gnosticism, and stoicism are all God substitutes … human attempts to “fix” a “failed god” – recreating the garden, “heaven” (hell?) on earth in our OWN image, believing the OLDEST of LIES – “WE SHALL BE AS GODS”.
The Second Commandment warns against IDOL-atry – GOD SUBSTITUTES.
C.S. Lewis said human history is the long, sad story of humanity trying to find SOMETHING OTHER THAN GOD to make them happy. Add, satisfied and “complete”.
ATHEISM is the the disastrous ROOT of the REBELLION and “REVOLUTION” that this world has initiated AGAINST GOD.
If “religion” is described as the “OPIATE” of the MASSES, it was simply replaced by GOVERNMENT, the human “OPPRESSOR” of the MASSES.
We are all “VICTIMS of SOCIETY” – made up of people JUST LIKE US.
Externalized “scapegoating” oblivious to our own internal responsibilities.
ATHEISM is, in fact, POISON … a “DEAD END” …
FAITH is the “ANTIDOTE” – when He comes again … will He find it?
ALL this is nothing “new” … nothing I “Made up” …
The ONLY true “equality” is God’s – we are ALL SINNERS in NEED of GOD’s GRACE …
FOOLED … AGAIN …
MAN PLANS … GOD LAUGHS ...
He ONLY “NEW” … CREATURES in CHRIST … HIS “NEW” CREATION …
“PILGRIM’s” SEPARATED to HIS “PROGRESS” … HIS POWER … not mine … HE SAID “FOLLOW ME” …
NOT MY POWER … NOT MY (self)-RIGHTEOUSNESS …
“ALL MIXED UP” …
GOD WILL EVENTUALLY “STRAIGHTEN” ME OUT … BRING ME to (His) COMPLETION …
THANK GOD … AMAZING GRACE …
