Too Bad , Too Sad , Get Over It

If animals aren’t suffering, somebody isn’t working hard enough in the business of gene survival. Richard Dawkins.


Read that sentence carefully and grasp what this high priest of Darwin dogma is saying. Remember since humans are nothing more than animals , driven by gene reproduction , then if we are not being subjected to suffering , then the gene survival mode is not working hard enough to produce the survival of the fittest. 


So when a little boy , wonders away , drowns in a river because of a extreme disability ,its not tragic but nature getting rid of its garbage. Is that not what this is saying. What if my next door neighbor decides that his genetic material should be shared and decides he will impregnate as many women as possible through whatever means necessary , practices this . If we are animals, then why should we limit ourselves to moral norms that are nothing more than a deluded mind that thinks there is a God , and that He has revealed laws that we should abide by?


The one thing Dawkins is at least , consistent with his world view. He pulls no punches and at least you  know what he thinks . Of course since our thinking is nothing more than chemical reactions in the brain , can he even be sure of his conclusions or observations. 


Atheism as a world view will always be a hard sell. It leads down a very dark hole and cannot offer no light to suffering and evil in any real way. Pain,suffering are just what they are. If you get Cancer and die ,well it proves you have weak genetics and nature is trying to get rid of the junk. But our compassion steps in the way and tries to save and heal. Why? Because in our hearts of hearts we know that God exist , that He is our creator and that He has written eternity on our hearts. 


An Atheist is one that is suppressing that truth in open defiance as Paul reminds us in the first few chapters of Romans. 


A world view is the grid in which we all filter life. Those who think they don't have one do . It may be faulty but they carry one with them into each day. But when it comes to the bigger questions of life, purpose,suffering and the why's , only Christianity has the consistent answers to the big questions . But more importantly it has Jesus Christ that brings hope,light and truth to even the darkest of days . For only Jesus understands the pain,suffering and even the temptation of men and women. 


Atheism is left wanting because it is a lie . Nuff said. 


"If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark." CS Lewis 


Verse Of The Day  :   [35] You have given me the shield of your salvation,
                         and your right hand supported me,
                       and your gentleness made me great.
                                                            (Psalm 18:35 ESV)

What can I add, that you haven't just said, except "Amen and Amen". Love you, Mrs Reg
