Godless Religion
"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn
away." II Tim 3:5
Included in Paul's graphic description of the last days is this warning
concerning religious leaders. They will observe the outward form(church
buildings, sacraments, religious services, etc) of godliness(religion) but
will reject its supernatural aspects. They desire the trappings of
religious professionalism and are "lovers of pleasures more than lovers of
God."
Such specifications describe the modern world of scientism and liberal
theology, which prevades practically all religious denominations and
overlaps with all kinds of liberal social movements(feminism, abortion,
euthansia, homosexual rights, "New Age" pantheism and others). although
these are widely diverse in structure and purpose, they all share one
vital feature in common: they reject supernatural Christianity, especially
special creation. Many liberal preachers give nominal allegiance to the
teachings of Christ and the Bible, but they invariably deny the mighty
power of God in special creation, as well as the great worldwide miracles
of the Bible-the Flood, the dispersion,etc.
This prophecy is not given in Scripture simply as a matter of
information. It contains a warning urgenly needed by Bible-believing
Christians who are under pressure today to compromise with humanistic
liberals on this great teaching of God's creative power. Many have
accepted the evolutionary system of "ages geology." and this is tragic and
dangerous(see " Theistic Evolution1-8 ). Instead of compromising with
evolutionay naturalists and religious liberals, as many evangelicals have
done today, take heed to Paul's warning and "From such turn away!" HMM,

Hey now, what is your peeve with Zen-Buddhism (a very atheistis
religion indeed)? Buddhists are some of the most mild-mannered
and civilized people I know...

Indeed. The very warning cited from scripture applies to the author.

Paradoxically, most real events are highly improbable.

The creation theory in christianity is the most unscientific nonsense
that can be present in any religion.
And flood story will amuse and impress only kida and not any grownup
with a bit of grey mattern in brain.
It has been well proven that the nonsense of "LET THERE BE LIGHT" and
god "creating" the universe in a few days a just few thousand years
ago are rubbish.
Based on on a literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis, age of
earth is six thousand years ! In the 1640s, for example, biblical
"scholar" Dr John Lightfoot calculated that the world was created at
the autumnal equinox in 3928 BC. A few years later, Archbishop James
Ussher of Ireland announced that God created heaven and earth on
Saturday evening, October 22, 4004 BC.!
Now it is proven that earth's age is around 2 billion years. This is
matches with the calculations in Hindu texts.
According to Hindu philosophy, the age of the earth (to the year 2000)
is 1,972,949,101 years. The earth will live for a total of 4.32
billion years -- a 'day of Brahmâ'
