What hope is there for the world when it is filled with sin and false religion?

This is why I write about the great blessings that have been brought about by the Bible. What other hope does the world have? Hitchens thought the only hope was a world without religion, but then, if that world included the abolition of Christianity, it would be a world that was still filled with slavery, child sacrifice, cannibalism, illiteracy, scientific backwardness, disease, and on and on, because it certainly hasn’t been the atheists who have rid the world of all of these plagues. It has been fundamentalist Christianity that has improved the world.

Even now, atheists have barely made any contributions to the world’s problems. What I see them doing for the most part is traversing web sights and making snide remarks and ad hominem attacks on anybody who believes in the scriptures in any way.

What is the evolutionary hope for the world? What is the atheist Christmas?

Is it Barack Obama? Is it the Dalai Lama? Is it communism? Is it a world without religion, as Hitchens believed? What is the hope of the world to you?

The Roman Church also persecuted those who opposed their false tyranny and were pleading for a restoration of the Word of God as the source of truth. John Huss, for example, thought that Catholicism was a corrupt institution that neglected scripture. He demonstrated his disgust with the perverse Church of Rome by hanging pictures of the popes in all their rich clothing next to images of the poverty-stricken Jesus. He believed that neither pope nor cardinal could establish doctrine that was contrary to the scriptures and that there was no obligation on the part of any Christian to obey an order which conflicted with the teachings of the Word of God. He was a fundamentalist. For this he would be called before the Inquisition. While there he would be questioned and the following happened:

As he was about to open his mouth to answer, all this mad herd began so to cry out upon him, that he had not leisure to speak one only word. The noise and trouble was so great and so vehement, that a man might have called it a bruit of wild beasts, and not of men, much less was it to be judged a congregation of men gathered together, to determine so grave and weighty matters. (1)

You see, the people who were crying out like brute beasts were not the crowds of common people, they were the religious leaders, the council of cardinals and bishops! For the stand he took, Huss would be burnt at the stake. Those who reject Christ have a way of becoming irrational, violent, and hateful in a flash. It has been shown to be true over and over in history. Yet the fundamentalist, that is, the one who trusts in, relies on, and honors the Bible as the inspired Word of God is loving, truthful, and courageous.

Fundamentalist Christians are the greatest heroes of history!

Where are the totalitarian Christian governments? Where are the misogynist Christian nations? Where are the homophobic Christian governments?

It seems to me that nations which have the most Christians are the nations that are the most free, most kind to women, least homophobic, and least violent. The rest of the world clamours to get into these nations.

There are people who claim to be Christians, yet they reject the Bible as a source of truth, add to or take away from the bibical record, or don’t interpret the Old Testament in light of the New Testament. This has led to many false teachings which have caused much suffering in the world. On the other hand, fundamentalist Christians have basically led the opposition to every evil the world has ever produced!

It wasn’t atheists who got rid of Roman emperor worship–it was fundamentalist Christians. It wasn’t atheists who got rid of the power of the papacy–it was fundamentalist Christians. It wasn’t atheists who got rid of slavery–it was fundamentalist Christians. It wasn’t atheists who opposed Hitler–it was fundamentalist Christians. It wasn’t atheists who brought the world out of the darkness of pagan religions–it was fundamentalist Christians. It wasn’t atheists who caused the blessings of science to explode unto the world scene–it was fundamentalist Christians. It wasn’t atheists who opposed atheistic communism–it was fundamentalist Christians.
