Now What ?

Yesterday I commented on the concept of seeing the actual working out of Darwinism  displayed for all to see in the sinking of the luxury liner that has been in the news . It was not a pretty sight.

So if one is going to live by the motto "there is no God " then what is one to do with this very brief and fleeting life.  I have commented in the past but after reading the events that occurred it really brings it into focus. If there is no God there is no reason to search for purpose but each moment we live should be dominated by 2 main driving forces. 

These would be power and pleasure . Power to dominate and subdue all who stand in your way so that you may achieve maximum amount of pleasure . If there is no reason to worry about a future judgement , then whatever actions I take , which have no moral value anyway , to fulfil those goals should be pursued. If it means to survive by pushing the weak aside to get to the lifeboat , so be it . By taking God out of the picture , we are left with a chilling world view which will have drastic consequences . 

In Romans it clearly tells us the judgement has already began , that God's wrath is being poured out by giving people over to their lust . So when I read of the cruelty and selfishness displayed in events like this ship , I see the actions of the men as God handing them over to thier own desires .

That is where we all would be if it were not for God's love and grace.
