Philosophy, or the love of wisdom, has been with us since the dawn
of creation. Man cannot help but be an inquisitive creature who is constantly
attempting to understand the environment that surrounds him. Perhaps the
clearest example of this urge to know is the exploration of space. Nothing is
more challenging than understanding what is "out there." In the same
way, the quest to find God has occupied man's thoughts for all of his
existence. Some have sought to do so through the Scriptures, and rightly so. Others,
however, do so primarily through philosophy. It is this latter group that has
gone off the rails, albeit in many cases with good intentions.
I recently heard about a Spike Lee documentary about 9/11 that "removed interviews with conspiracy theorists." As I read that phrase, I was struck with the fact that this action is such a microcosm of our society and its insistence on erasing anything that may "hurt its feelings." To be clear, I am not a supporter of people who hold to such conspiracies as that 9/11 was an inside job or that George Bush caused the events that took place on that day in order to place us on a constant war footing. That being said, however, I am neither a supporter of this society's continuous attempt at silencing anyone who dares to contradict the party line.
The
nonsensical character of atheism is in full display all around us on a daily
basis. The idea that the universe has no purpose, that it all came about by
random chance (out of nothing, to boot!) and all on its own, that the process
of evolution is unthinking, unfeeling, and yet it accomplish what we see today
can only lead to one conclusion: in the words of John Macarthur "what kind
of idiocy is that"?
The
idiocy of atheism leads to all kinds of perversions and lunacy. Our demented
society has gone down the tubes at an astonishing rate. Think of the urge for
society to be "inclusive" of the LGBTQ+ lifestyle (I know, to talk
about a lifestyle when we discuss a group of people represented by such
disparate descriptions is incoherent, but that just comes to show how demented
society truly has become). Catering to a tiny percentage of our population has
become the sacred mantra of our age. It really is impossible to understand the
infatuation that our society has with this perversion. Is there any better
proof of the fact that our world has lost its collective mind?
When
you watch and listen to the video above, think about the fact that you could
have been among those left to their own devices and believe such astonishing
foolishness. You could be among those who make it their purpose to convince you
that there is no purpose to our existence. Were it not for God's grace and
giving us a renewed mind, we too would be apt to believe such balderdash. Two
things come to mind in light of that fact: we need to be extremely grateful to
God for his mercy and we need to pray for those who are still in the dark.
