For Catholic Fundamentalists, the problem of free will vs. determinism is solved with the idea that there is a Programmer with the power to program creatures with free will.
This is one of those foundational thoughts that can utterly change the way we see the world. That’s why it’s ignored, despised, and finally hated, by the other side.
When Catholic Fundamentalists begin with their new definition, “God is a Being with the power to program energies and compile them into beings and structures that move through time.”, it’s reasonable.
When we add to that definition, “God is a being with the power to program creatures within His Program that have free will.”, we are still being reasonable.
We suddenly see a God so powerful that all the myths and legends from the Egyptians’ earth-bearing turtle to Darwin’s time-wasting notions of evolution are seen for the silliness they are. We are simply left with God and the Roman Catholic Church. All else is weeded out, made unnecessary by a greater appreciation of The Programmer’s overwhelming power.
Many Catholics have had their thought process corrupted by accepting various liberal positions on things like “evolution” and the “big bang”. As a result, many over-educated Catholics have more trouble conceiving of “A God Who can program in three dimensions” than do Fundamental Protestants.
So, we, as Paul, “go to the Gentiles.” as well as to the Catholics.
How much do they love death?
In 1972, modern Babylonians published “Silent Spring”. That testimony of death “justified” getting rid of DDT. That, in turn, allowed mosquitos to cause fifty million malaria deaths. Several times more people suffered horribly, but not fatally, from the same disease.
About that time, the same neo-Babylonians forced abortion on America. Fifty million American children were murdered in their mothers’ wombs. Others have had their lives worsened by the haunting crime.
Still, the same lost souls fight against DDT and for abortion. That’s how much they hate life and love death. Liberals from the Culture of Death have intentionally killed a hundred million people.
