The late (God-hating atheist) Christopher Hitchens once said....
"Mockery of religion is one of the most essential things...one of the beginnings of the human emancipation is the ability to laugh at authority. It's indispensable."
My impression from watching atheists on Youtube is that one reason for their rants that comes across from "former" Christians who join their ranks--is false doctrines. Some get confused by the false doctrine of an eternal hell & torment. Some mock the easily mockable secret rapture. Others, many actually, seem to get confused by church leaders who dismiss Genesis 1-11, or can't answer their questions.
"Mockery of religion is one of the most essential things...one of the beginnings of the human emancipation is the ability to laugh at authority. It's indispensable."
And He said: I will hide My face from them,
I will see what their end will be,
For they are a perverse generation,
Children in whom is no faith.
I will see what their end will be,
For they are a perverse generation,
Children in whom is no faith.
They have roused my jealousy by worshiping things that are not God;
they have provoked my anger with their useless idols.
Now I will rouse their jealousy through people who are not even a people;
I will provoke their anger
they have provoked my anger with their useless idols.
Now I will rouse their jealousy through people who are not even a people;
I will provoke their anger
through the foolish Gentiles.
Deuteronomy 32:20,21 NKJV/NLT
Is Christendom mocked today because of it's turning away from the Gospel? The preaching of fluff, the prosperity gospel, the green gospel, the social gospel, compromise on gay marriage, compromise on evolution, false mockable doctrines, sex abuse scandals, scandal ridden TV evangelists, etc.?
{P.S.- - - Of course, if one follows the Bible--they still mock you--soooo.......U know....}
Is (was) Christopher Hitchens one (of MANY)
of the FOOLISH Gentiles?
