On God #22

Daniel Gould to Jim Driscoll

 

Hello;
 
Years ago, in something that I wrote, I made this observation: Man has such a need and/or desire for immortality that he is willing to accept eternal damnation to achieve it.
 
This NYTimes article describes the downside to immortality.

Hi JD;
 
Well, this has so far taken me 90 minutes...I am an Internet illiterate...And unfortunately, the library is closing and I must leave. I will try and complete this exercise Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Therefore, hold off reading it until you have the beginning letters. You will also see mistakes in the numbering. But that is another story.
 
Sincerely;
 
Dan

I see you referencing the NYT often.  If you look to that entity to offer the public the unfiltered, unbiased truth about anything, you are being sadly misled, my friend. The reality of our humanity inherently confirms our mortality on the physical level of each life.  

But our faith is not some wild effort to calm our fears, or provide false hope. Christ came to earth and died for our sins.  He did not come here as someone to worship in the glorification of some temporal King. He came to give us life, and give it more abundantly. He spelled it out, in no uncertain terms.  His life was the perfect model.  Some of us, however, were, and some remain, too blind to really see this. Or don't want to see it (because it requires response on our part, and things sometimes difficult to enact and maintain) .  To some of us it seems to restrict us in many ways, minimize our pleasure, more discipline our lives. And we don't like that.

All religions have a Supreme Being of some sort.  But only Christians can point to a God, not just a prophet, who came upon Earth and taught us how to live by living the ideal life Himself....the Perfect Model. You can take all your psychologists, analysts, and think-tank big-wigs you can find, and listen to their theological negations until the cows come home, and likely be more ignorant about these matters than when you began listening to them. 

And the NYT.....rag that it is, likely still doesn't have a clue about the reality of God.....or any god.  That's because it is made up of people...agnostics, atheists, contemporary non-believers and skewed Humanists.....who don't have a valid clue about anything, only secular screech spouting their own personal and often warped opinions.   I'm sorry, my friend, but you're going to have to do better than the ramblings of the New York Times, or any other liberal paper whose output consist merely of wood pulp and distorted opinion.

But I shall await your treatise....and see what you've got to say.    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.JD
