Preface
By Culture of Death, I mean the term
that was used by St. John Paul II in his encyclical, "Gospel of Life."
There are so many idols in our culture that keeps us occupied for better and
worse.
What is this secular agnostic culture
of death religion all about? During the time of St. Paul in
Athens, the Greek culture seemed to be much more wiser than your culture today.
What kind of uplifting practical principles that your culture of death have
today? We have these corporate elitists who tell us what the new definition of
marriage must be, and they know how important genderism is in our new society
which seems full of false and non-scientific based ideas.
Really what is so up-lifting and new about leftist
and progressive thinking. First of all is the new culture of American historical
origin or is it another one of those alien and Marxist foreign ideas. By
American historical origin, I means words from our Founding Fathers and early
settlers.
Then we have false journalism (the mainstream
media) who have an agenda and a double standard for those who disagree with
them. Yes, the ordinary folks are really dumb with their attachment to
old-fashioned religion, guns and thoughts that are really not politically
correct when expressed.
We the elites know what is best for these
misinformed Americans. We the elites will brainwash and redirect these
peasants when we win on Nov. 8th. NEVER
PAUL IN ATHENS ACTS, 17:16-34
While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was
deeply troubled by all the idols he saw every where in the city. He went to the
synagogue to debate with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and he spoke
daily in the public square to all who happened to be there.
He also had a debate with some of the Epicurean and
Stoic philosophers. When he told them about Jesus and his resurrection, they
said, "This babbler has picked up some strange ideas." Others said, "He's
pushing some foreign religion."
Then they took him to the Council of Philosophers.
"Come tell us more about this new religion," they said. "You are saying some
rather startling things, and we want to know what it's all about." (It should be
explained that all the Athenians as well as the foreigners in Athens seemed to
spend all their time discussing the latest ideas.)
So Paul, standing before the council, addressed them
as follows:
"Men of Athens, I notice that you are very religious,
for as I was walking along I saw your many altars. And one of them had this
inscription on it - 'To an Unknown God'. You have been worshipping without
knowing who he is, and now I wish to tell me about him.
He is the God who made the world and everything in
it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn't live in man-made temples,
and human hands can't serve his needs - for he has no needs. He himself gives
life and breadth to everything, and satisfies every needs there is. From one man
he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand
which should rise and fall, and determined their boundaries.
His purpose in all of this was that the nations
should seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him -
though he is not far from any of us. For in him, we live and move and exist. As
one of your own poets says, 'We are his offspring.' And since this is true, we
shouldn't think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver and
turn to him.
God overlooked people's former people's ignorance
about these things, but now he commands everyone everywhere to turn away from
idols and turn to him. For he has set a day of judging the world with justice by
the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him
from the dead....
What symbols of God's presence do you see around you
in society? ... While it is important to share our faith we like Paul, must
also be prepared. The more we know about the Bible - what it means and how to
apply it to our life - the more convincing our lives will be...
