The atheists have a tremendous hatred for and obsession with that in which they claim not to believe.
I wonder what God, looking down from heaven thinks of us butchering and killing each other, even little children? But I suppose He's well used to it by now, we've been doing it to each other for thousands of years.
Rt reporting that Israel is going to invade Lebanon (they're citing ABC but I don't see anything definitive there).
This reminds me just recently when I was reading Reddit (mostly for medical reasons), but since that forum is the king of liberal narcissists "intellectuals" I came across a topic where the question was "atheists, do you believe in angels, demons, etc... It's interesting how many of them said they believed, while others justified that atheism only means not believing in God... So anything is possible, angels, tooth fairies, aliens, Bigfoot... Anything that isn't God. It is such a revolt and rebellion against God, I dare say even hatred that they are ready to accept anything, no matter how irrational it is, as long as you don't mention God to them.
I read something about him returning early because he wants to be in Israel to directly give commands, in regards to hezbollah, instead of from New York.
Their not believing in God has absolutely no bearing on whether He is or not. They don't seem to realise this. On the one hand, they will claim that man is just an accidental, meaningless and absurd entity on an isolated planet in a remote part of a vast universe, yet on the other they claim to know personally all that does not exist.
In the end, it all boils down to what Bishop Sheen said, that 99% of atheists know that God exists, but if they acknowledge His existence, then they put limits on their freedom of behavior. By removing God from reality, they actually remove the norms of behavior and the rules of the moral law. It is easier to say that the law does not exist than that you have broken it and that you must repent..
One of the proofs of God's existence that I consider most important and verifiable by most people throughout life is the fact that many individuals have a premonition days before their own death or that of a family member. I believe this demonstrates that there is a superior divine force that transcends any human ability to predict and plan. It is not something that can be contained in a jar or analyzed in a laboratory, but rather something written in our hearts, illuminating our levels of perception and consciousness. I often wonder how an atheist reacts to situations like this that show life is not merely a sea of uncertainties where every action, result, and consequence is preceded only by primordial chaos, lacking any predefined order or purpose.
Let's see, how many countries is Israel regularly bombing? There is Syria, Iraq, Gaza, the Lebanon and Yemen. Five different countries. Quite a lot. I see they recently threatened to blow up Iranian commercial airlines so I take it from this that Iranians will soon be getting phone calls from Tel Aviv that they need to leave their homes as they about to get blown up too, it's only a matter of time. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-n...e-u-turn-beirut-airport-after-israel-warning/ However I always try to look on the bright side. Since they are bombing the heck out of so many different countries perhaps they may bomb the Vatican during the synod on synodality. Then they might be doing something useful. No need to make a phone call I don't know Fr James Martins number. Hopefully they will not bomb myself and the forum. But we can't be sure. Keep your phones handy. Blowing up commercial airplanes may seem a bit extreme, but I suppose if they make a phone call first.. Since Sunday the Israelis have killed over 1000 Lebanese , wounded 6000 and displaced 1 million people from their homes. In the same period not a single Israeli has been killed.
It seems Israel may have started to invade Southern Lebanon - they have a build up of armoured vehicles on the border with Lebabon. Israel has just closed the area around Metula on the border with Lebanon and that looks like one of the areas they are going to invade - civilians are now banned from the area. MTV Lebanon has just reported heavy shelling of Lebanese towns on the border with Israel (including town of Wazzani, which is not far from Metula). This looks like the bridgehead where the invasion will occur.
Did you listen to Netanayu's speech to Iran today? Unbelievable as it may seem, it appears they are getting ready to attack Iran as well. I wonder if the Good Lord has rendered them insane as a punishment? Who's next? Ireland? Why not Ireland? Why not Iceland or Japan? Take your pick.
For those who didn't hear Netanyahu’s speech - he is either arrogant or deluded - https://www.timesofisrael.com/pm-to...h-you-youll-be-free-sooner-than-people-think/
