Catholic and Enjoying It!
Also, here’s a whimsical bit from Matt Archbold on the atheist habit of stealing Oughts from the Theist worldview to supply what is lacking in a void created by the materialist world of Is. It’s dumb to say atheist materialists are ipso facto immoral. They obviously are not. What they are is thieves with honor. They can’t derive a single Transcendant Ought from materialist universe of Is… so they just go ahead and steal Transcendant Oughts from God and pretend they own them. They love you, but they can’t say why except to invoke BS about altruistic genes, herd instincts, and other such crap that carries exactly the same transcendant moral weight as your eye color. If my felt moral imperatives are precisely the same product of evolution as my reproductive system and (as the atheist says) I have a perfect right to a vasectomy if my reproductive system is getting in the way of what I want, then the obvious conclusion is that my evolved sense of morality can likewise be snipped if it is getting in the way too. If the materialist says, “But that would be wrong!” I reply “That’s just your genetic programming talking” and shoot him (on my fishing boat at sea, with paid witnesses ready to testify that he accidently fell overboard and drowned). As long as nobody catches me, no harm, no foul. You can’t have a Transcendant Ought in a Materialist Universe.
That most materialists don’t live out the consequences of their own philosophy is a testimony to the power of the Holy Spirit, who has placed eternity in the hearts of men.
