Once the dollar is no longer the default world currency, inflation will explode up the roof. The dollar will become worthless.

Tough economic times are coming to the USA. It may be God's way of chastening America for its flagrant rebellion against His laws for immorality in homosexuality, abortion, divorce, racism, materialism, etc.

Whoever thought that the repeal of DADT was related to the impending economic crisis. Or that homosexual marriage legalized by certain states was tied to America's discipline by God?less

Just for the record. DOMA merely defines marriage as being between a man and a woman. It does not ban so-called "homosexual marriage" per se. The actual language used and the effectual results are still destinct and separate.

Christianity was at the forefront in the development of hospitals to care for sick people. We are greatly indebted to many compassionate Christian doctors and nurses who give ot themselves in sacrifice to care for the poor in countries all over the world.

One way to define atheism is via what one does not believe. (ie the existence of God) However, that is only one side of the equation. An atheist cannot simply live life by merely claiming an absence of a worldview in God. An atheist has a worldview. All atheists create and live by some form of worldview whether or not it's existence is acknowledged. Thus, since God is not in the atheist's worldview, then one has a worldview rooted in the natural, not the supernatural.

The supernatural would involve areas of heaven, hell, angels, demons, satan, miracles, eternality, prayer, creationism, etc, The atheist's foundation lies in the natural world--only the material exists. If God cannot be seen, then He cannot exist. Evil exists when a person makes poor choices. After a person dies, then the body simply becomes dust. There is no soul. There is no spirit. All those concepts require supernatural explanations. A person is born, lives life, then dies. The naturalistic worldview does not entertain the existence of the life after which belongs to the supernatural realm. Reincarnation belongs to the supernatural realm also. An atheist cannot hold to belief in reincarnation since that concept is beyond the natural.less

Just think about it...The Bible is the world's best-selling book in the entire world. It is one of the most beloved Books that many would be willing to die for.

Just think about it...The Bible is the world's best-selling book in the entire world. It is one of the most beloved Books that many would be willing to die for. At the same time, it is the one Book most severely attacked by those who absolutely hate it. Communist governments throw Christians into jail for merely having illegal possession of a Bible. Christians in Islamic countries are persecuted for believing in the tenets of the Bible. The Bible is outlawed and banned in numerous countries. If the Bible has no merit for truth, then why bother attacking it? If the Bible is merely a book of fables, then just leave it alone along with the heap of other legends.

Why are the writings of Mohammed, Confucious, Tao, or writings in the Bhagavita not attacked in similar vicious manner? Satan knows that he needs to attack the Truth. Jesus claimed to be "the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man comes to the Father except through Me." In simliar fashion, why is Jesus attacked like no other religious leader throughout history? Food for thought.less

The Bible speaks about how the evidence for God is overwhelmingly present within creation and within the conscience of each person's heart. I believe that we are born with that innate ability to see God's hand as the Creator of our universe. However, as we grow older, the many things and experiences of life may, sometimes, cloud and hinder that ability. Sociologists study the civilizations of all ages, with one common thread being the perceived spiritual need to worship a higher being. I believe that all humans are created with the innate need to worship. The problem becomes when a person substitutes self, money, pleasure, lust, things, people, power, etc. as the object of worship as "gods" instead of the true God.
So in this sense, I don't have a burden to "prove" God to anyone. If God's evidence cannot get through into a heart, then what more can I add? I can merely explain what I believe. I can merely explain the biblical worldview. I can try to engage in a dialogue. But I cannot make anyone believe what I believe. Only God can work in a person's heart to do that.
The biblical worldview acknowledges that people worship "gods" of their choosing. However, the Bible does not recognize such "gods" as being legitimate in substance. In similar fashion, I acknowledge that many people worship "gods" within their respective religions. However, I don't recognize such "gods" as having a basis in truth claim. The subjective sincerity of a person's belief does not necessarily add to the objective foundation of a truth claim. There are many devoted and sincere believers of other religions who put Christians to shame in their depth of faith. Still, the subjective degree of belief does not necessarily legitimize a belief into an objective truth. My basis for objective moral truth lies within the Bible. The Bible is my roadmap for the foundation of my worldview. Attack the Bible as you may wish. Tear it apart from cover to cover and debate it inside out as many do. In the end, the Word of God will stand beyond the test of time to endure.less

I cannot claim to speak for all theists. So whether a theist believes with great certainty, some certainty, or a little certainty are all within the realm of possibilities. So in a way, the degree of "certainess" is irrelevant since that depends on each individual. Having said that, I do believe that the biblical worldview posits God as a being that is eternal; One that has no beginning and no end; One who was not created but has existed since before the creation of the universe. I cannot explain it or even begin to comprehend such a concept. Nevertheless, that is a Christian worldview. Whether an atheist is open to new evidence or not depends on each individual. Some atheists are absolutely closed to any evidence at all. Some, like yourself, may be open to new evidence and theories. If the latter, then bravo!less

Kudos to the Alliance Defense Fund! They deserve a big thumbs up for their legal advocacy of the religious rights of Christians! Keep up the wonderful work that God has enabled you to do!

It does seem easier to use the word "termination" instead of "killing." It takes my breath away that "life saving procedure" could even be mentioned in the same sentence. What irony!

Abortion is NOT life saving but life ending.

Moral ethics is part and parcel of the practice of medicine. One cannot seoarate the two. When life and death situations occur, one needs to have some type of moral code by which to make decisions.

Sorry, medicine is not practice in such a morally septic environment. Patients are spiritual being whether one wishes to acknowledge it or not. To ignore that is to be deficient in the practice of medicine.less

It is amazing that all those who advocate for legal abortion have already been born. There does not seem to be the thought that they could have been in the position of the unborn baby being legally executed while feeling all that extreme pain.less

Let's equalize the requirements: Planned Parenthood should accurately reflect their historical record with a sign on every door--- "We covered up the statutory rapes of female minors by their adult boyfriends when we failed to report these incidents to the police." Truth in advertising at work. Need to amend Bill 371

Not for profit pregnancy care centers operate on a shoestring budget. They do not need more unfair restrictions of speech and threats of fines and lawsuits. They do not hide the fact that abortions are not done, They are well known as abortion alternatives. On the other hand, Planned Parenthood thrives financially with each abortion performed.

On the other hand, Planned Parenthood thrives financially with each abortion performed. Money, money, money. They could not care less about the client as long as they make the quick buck.

Would you trust the group that does not have a profit motive or the group that is motivated by profit?less

Stop Bill 371 and let the pregnancy care centers do their jobs of serving our communities without more undue burdens placed by Planned Parenthood advocates. The focus should instead be on Planned Parenthood for their complicity with statutory rape by ignoring reporting requirements.

Let's take a closer look at the implications of an atheist's worldview that God does not exist due to
the lack of evidence.

If God does not exist then...

Nothing became something.
Nothing became matter.
Nothing became energy.

Non-living matter became living matter.
There is no ultimate moral right or wrong.
There is no ultimate moral judgment or justice
There is no ultimate meaning.

There is no life after death.
There is no heaven or hell.
There is no spiritual dimension of life only the material.
Any meaning we create is temporary and meaningless.

However, do atheists truly live according their worldview?

They do live life as if there is a moral right and wrong.

Atheists do live everyday life presuming there is meaning
in life but they don't follow their logical conclusions to
the end point.

Atheism is unable to logically explain the origin of matter,
the origin of energy, or the origin of life.

It takes more faith to believe in the atheistic worldview than
the Christian worldview.less
