Collectively Christendom is hypocritical, pathetic, and plastered with idolatry! It is the sad reality of the church. However, there still are genuine God fearing, Jesus loving, Holy Spirit driven Christians out there who care more about the Lord Jesus than themselves, wherefore they won’t let the despicable condition of the church prevent or impede them from loving and giving glory to Christ Jesus.
Hello there, I was reading Readers digest and saw the Ad for this site. I love to talk freely about my beliefs and I thought it was a good opertunity to clear up some misconceptions that many people that I have met have about Athiests.
I notice the tendency for people (both Christain and secular) to discuss God and science as though the two are mutually exclusive. Science, which is a product of flawed human intelligence (flawed in the sense that no human has ever been shown to be infallible), is quoted time and time again as being able to prove the non-existence of God, or at least the non-existence of the God as set out in the Biblical record.
The Archbishop of Canterbury recently published an article (in The Economist, I think), in which he compared those who had faith in the free market to solve all economic ills - as well as those of other ideologies - to idolators.
His reasoning is that an idol like the golden calf is the creation of man, and the great error is to ascribe god-like qualities to anything man made. It is an error because anything that man makes is not perfect and will, therefore, eventually fail you.
