I’m sorry that I have not been posting in a long time. I have some article concepts in mind and in draft and in progress, but just for now, I’ll leave this post to you. I watched Ravi Zacharias’ lecture/sermon on the topic of “The Incoherence of Atheism” and he quoted English journalist Steve Turner’s poem titled “Creed”. I can’t find any original source but you can find many electronic copies if you search on Google, and the one I pasted here was the one read by Ravi Zacharias in the video. This is a pretty fascinating prose on how do many of us view the world of what it is now. Here it is:
We believe in Marxfreudanddarwin
We believe everything is OK
as long as you don’t hurt anyone,
to the best of your definition of hurt,
and to the best of your definition of knowledge.We believe in sex before, during, and after marriage.
We believe in the therapy of sin.
We believe that adultery is fun.
We believe that sodomy is OK.
We believe that only taboos are taboo.We believe that everything is getting better
despite evidence to the contrary.
The evidence must be investigated
And you can prove anything with evidence.We believe there’s something in
horoscopes, UFO’s and bent spoons;
Jesus was a good man
like Buddha, Mohammed, and ourselves.
He was a good moral teacher
although we think His good morals were bad.We believe that all religions are basically the same–
at least the ones that we read were.
They all believe in love and goodness.
They only differ on matters of
creation, sin, heaven, hell, God, and salvation.We believe that after death comes the Nothing
Because when you ask the dead what happens they say nothing.
If death is not the end, if the dead have lied,
then it’s compulsory heaven for all
excepting perhaps Hitler, Stalin, and Genghis Khan.We believe in Masters and Johnson.
What’s selected is average.
What’s average is normal.
What’s normal is good.We believe in total disarmament.
We believe there are direct links between warfare and bloodshed.
Americans should beat their guns into tractors
and the Russians would be sure to follow.
We believe that man is essentially good.
It’s only his behavior that lets him down.
This is the fault of society.
Society is the fault of conditions.
Conditions are the fault of society.We believe that each man must find the truth that is right for him
and reality will adapt accordingly.
The universe will readjust.
History will alter.
We believe that there is no absolute truth
excepting the truth that there is no absolute truth.We believe in the rejection of creeds,
and the flowering of individual thought.If chance be the Father of all flesh,
disaster is his rainbow in the sky,
and when you hear
State of Emergency!
Sniper Kills Ten!
Troops on Rampage!
Youths go Looting!
Bomb Blasts School!
It is but the sound of man worshiping his maker.
