Creed
We believe in Marxfreudanddarwin.

to the best of your definition of hurt,
and to the best of your knowledge.

and after marriage.
We believe in the therapy of sin.
We believe that adultery is fun.
We believe that sodomy's OK
We believe that taboos are taboo.
We believe that everything's getting better
despite evidence to the contrary.
The evidence must be investigated.
You can prove anything with evidence.
We believe there's something in horoscopes,
UFO's and bent spoons;
Jesus was a good man just 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 one that we read was.
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

If death is not the end, if the dead have lied,
then it's compulsory heaven for all

We believe in Masters and Johnson.
What's selected is average.

My thoughts:
The secularist view of the world is a world without
God. On the one hand we have the secularist view, the world’s perspective of life, and on
the other hand we have God’s view of life.
The two views are separate and cannot be combined because they oppose
one another.
The true light that
gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in
the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not
recognize him (John 1:9-10).
We are enlightened, not by the world, for the world doesn’t
give us true light. We are enlightened
by Christ Who came from outside the world into our world. He enlightens us to the truth.
This is the crisis
we’re in: God-light streamed into the world, but men and women everywhere ran
for the darkness. They went for the darkness because they were not really
interested in pleasing God. Everyone who makes a practice of doing evil,
addicted to denial and illusion, hates God-light and won’t come near it,
fearing a painful exposure (John 3:19-20 Mes).
Jesus said, “I have
come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me
should stay in darkness” (John 12:46).
The secularist’s view of the world is a world without
God. God’s view of the world is a world
without truth. God’s view of the world
is a world that is in the dark, without light.
But God loved the world so much that He has sent Truth and Light into it
in the form of His Son Jesus Christ. If
we are to know reality we must know Jesus.
If we are to be enlightened we must believe in Him. If we are to know truth we must believe what
He says.
The tragedy of the world’s view is described by Jesus in
Matthew 6:23: “If the light you think you have is actually
darkness, how deep that darkness is”! (Matthew 6:23 NLT).
The joy of God’s view is in Who Jesus is. He said in John 14:6: “I am the
way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me.”
The world’s view of life and God’s view of life are in
direct contradiction to one another.
Never confuse the two.
