The new atheism

Fellow Labourers-

If you want to see the truth of today's article, just follow some of the discussions going on in our local newspapers. Our church has to be proactive and prepare our people for the onslaught of this neo-atheism. Sometimes it is subtle, and at other times it is vulgarly displayed as new truth.

Reality is being distorted by the use of modern technology and we must beware. Our people have been for a long time living by sentiments, but sentiments are like shifting sand. Like the renaissance that erupted in Europe and caused a great tension resulting in a new atheism, unbridled globalization is having a somewhat similar effect. Unlike the renaissance that spent a long time in Italy before it spread, globalization is like instant coffee. But remember the apostle Paul's admonition 'Do not be deceived by the philosophy and vain deceit of men.'

Pax Vobiscum
