It’s Not All Relative

[WolfAU]

I hope you realise that with every post, the likelihood of any of us converting drops considerably (copy and paste jobs = lazy and ignorant), every time you display how paper thin your adherance to your beliefs is, and how easily swayed you are.

a belief system based upon the absolute certainty that there are no absolutes.

No, just acceptance that the term "absolute" is itself relative.

We hypocritically applaud men for seeking the truth, but call for the public execution of anyone arrogant enough to believe he has found it.

I'd like to see what example you are referring to. Last time I checked, we weren't executing philosophers for thinking or writing books... Thats Christianity's thing.

We live in a self-imposed Dark Age

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Natural man is a fallen creature, morally corrupt, and hellbent on autonomy (i.e. self-government).

Fallen implies we were initially perfect (no evidence) and we're getting worse (no evidence). Morally corrupt is also only a statement you would make if you expect perfection from us.

He hates God...

:roll:

He hates the truth...

:roll:
Also noticing a lack of "she" or "they"... given your belief systems WELL DOCUMENTED patriarchy and violation of women's rights, you might wanna look to that.

He will go to any extent to suppress the truth; even to the point of pretending that no such thing exists or that if it does exist, it cannot be known or have any bearing on our lives.

Projecting? (*cogh*evolution*cough*)

The Christian Gospel is a scandal to man and his culture because it does the one thing he most wants to avoid - It awakens him from his self-imposed slumber to the reality of his fallenness and rebellion, and calls for him to reject autonomy and submit to God through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ."

No... I'd have to say the scandal is sections like...

- Stone your family if they try to convert you (Deuteronomy 13:5-10)
- Stone your children if they are rebellious (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)
- Kill witches (Leviticus 20:27), Keeping in mind how much harm that has done in human history.
- Kill those who break the sabbath (Numbers 15:32-56)

Condoning genocide, murder, torture, rape, slavery, mistreatment, exploitation and oppression of women and other groups, anti-sematism, homophobia, condoning poor sexual ethics, cruelty... I could go on.
