Modern believers have reduced God to the status of a pagan deity. To moderns, God is not powerful enough to have programmed, or otherwise created, the world in six days.
He’s been re-defined down to be what those whom He created are comfortable with Him being. Defining God downwards is any human’s greatest perversion of free will.
It’s easy for any of us sinners to be drawn to a large, attractive body of non-judgmental thought. The other side is skilled in providing clever alternatives to God and judgment. Big Bangs, Evolution, and Environmental theories are the Devil’s Flypaper, where minds and souls are immobilized in pseudo-intellectual goo.
The more we are inclined to sin, the easier it is to believe that God is neither judge nor omnipotent. It’s amazing, but we can live for decades and never hear any media reference to “omnipotence”. Students in their schools can graduate without hearing the word.
Catholic Fundamentalists understand that God is so powerful that He did what He said He did.
Encouraging others to think of God as Omnipotent Programmer may help them take the necessary additional steps that lead to saving their souls from eternal agony. Such thinking habits keep us on the right track, as well.
