That said, this particular election would have gone otherwise had it not been for widespread election fraud.

He does not (cannot?) engage Christianity on any higher level. I’ve heard Christopher Dawkins do the same thing in the apparent belief that Christianity can be dismissed by sniffily labeling it to be superstition. It gets wearisome after awhile.

One of those women now sitting in the Senate is Nebraska’s Deb Fischer, who, along with Kelly Ayotte, is one of just two pro-life woman senators.

What real dialog can there be between a person who assumes not-god and then wants to base everything on the unaided ability of the human rational mind and a person who assumes a loving Incarnate God and seeks to know Him and His love?

It is a more difficult task than the Apostles faced, because at least the pagans believed in something other than animal humanity. I’ve come to think that materialist rationality is the mark of the beast and we attempt dialog and understanding with it to our peril.

This guy’s perception seems so skewed, his fundamental values so far apart from mine, that I’m not sure where a dialogue with him could ever even begin. I guess we’d have to try to find common ground somewhere and then go from there. Yet it’s unlikely our arguments would make much sense to each other: the foundations of one or the other of our worldviews would have to be overthrown fur us to be able to see eye to eye. Like I said, scary.

Since neither assumption has any basis in reality as the human heart seeks both hierarchy (its an integral part of creation–even the materialists recognize that) and has shown a gross inability unaided (seclular) to do much more than destroy each other in the cruelest ways imaginable in our quest for power and in service to other multitudinous lusts.

The secularists answer has historically been to use the power of the state to imprison, maim and kill in order to supress all aspects of humanity, even what little virture we can muster. Lord of the Flies writ large.

From whence comes the optimism?
