In the beginning man created god and sometime later some bronze-age desert tribes in the middle east started to write about it. So what they wrote must be true of course . . . ?

You can read & write Matthew and have all the advantages of several thousand years of human learning & development. How can you be so naive? By all means believe in some higher power if it gives you comfort, but don’t rely on the scribblings of primitive, superstitious men to support it. You do not do yourself or this blog any credit.

Don’t worry, the “revival” has already started because Scripture told us it would happen. It mentioned in numerous places that believers would give up on God and start believing in myths (i.e. Atheism and Humanism) instead and that they would turn around to mock and scoff at believers. It told us many people, especially ex-believers/Christians, would turn to Atheism as we head into the last days. So it’s not surprising to watch the world go the way its going. Eventually (max 23 years) the Secular Humanist Antichrist will reveal his ugly head, and his survival of the fittest strategy will be to behead any person who refuses to submit to his social, justice, political and economic system, but this will be just after he has played a major part in an epic nuclear war battle killing over a quarter of the world’s population. But thankfully his kingdom won’t last long. Hooray to Humanism!!!

[My apologies if you already know about the Guide!]

We’ll have to find a way of sniggering at their egregious ignorance and illiteracy without alerting them. We don’t want to find ourselves subbing for the opposition.
