We hear lots of thoughts and phrases that the Culture of Death has put in people’s minds. “The universe is twenty billion years old.” is a frequent pronouncement, often intoned as if its profundity is unquestionable. One reply, “That’s what all the lost souls say.”
When we hear, “What I’m doing isn’t a sin.” or its popular variant, “It’s not a sin if I don’t believe it’s a sin.” The same reply applies, “That’s what all the lost souls say.”
Many embrace the Imaginary Problems that are continually put forth for the continued confusion of the poor souls . When someone repeats the latest excuses for Global Warming, for instance, Global Warming makes things colder and causes more snow.”, responding “That’s what all the lost souls say.” at least elevates the dialogue to some higher realm in which the very essence of the fraud may be examined.
We may, of course, add into the conversation, “There are probably people who can believe that (mentioning the Culture of Death talking point in question) and can still get to Heaven. But, those beliefs are like carrying heavy rocks in a backpack. The useless weight keeps you from getting there as easily and may keep you out, altogether.”
When listening to the latest boobery, we have to remind ourselves to be patient as we realize that the person to whom we’re speaking has nowhere near conception of God’s power that even the newest Catholic Fundamentalist has. We know that “God has the power to program in three dimensions. He can program energies and particles, compile them into systems and beings, and weave them into The Creation Program so well that only our faith lets us see what He’s done. Those who can’t see simply haven’t been given, or don’t want to get, the passwords that open this new doorway to the Kingdom of God.”
