Secular World and God

With every passing year, month, week, day, I become more convinced the secular world believes it is god. Do not many in the secular world now believe that technology is that manifestation for the masses? Christians and Muslims offer the secular world’s only real competition. Jews talk a good game, but most often vote secular. So, from the world’s perspective, it makes perfect sense to play the Christians and Muslims against each other, and reduce both to  irrelevancy. And play the Christians and Muslims, they do, to secularism’s score.

The secular world’s only problem is…God really does exist, and He has made clear that He has other plans. True enough, the secular world’s god has said much the same. Jesus dealt with the issue while He sparred with the moralistic or religious leaders of His day. He reduced the issue to the state of being a father. “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murder from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks in his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” In other words, he was a fallen entity from the beginning and does not stand for veracity, because there is no truthfulness in him. When he speaks it is with the intention to mislead. He speaks what is natural to him, for he is a prevaricator himself and the father of deception and all that is false. For, is not the devil a fallen angel who exists to terrorize the world through evil? I contend, secularism is no more than philosophical naturalism that embraces human reason while rejecting religious dogma, thus I find it nefarious. 

So, your father is either God, or the devil. The secular world is, to paraphrase Einstein on what we call reality, “an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” The secular world has a father, and it’s not God whom Jesus called Father. I would be somewhat surprised if the illusion of the secular world persists beyond this generation’s lifetime.
