The demise of dignity.

The demise of dignity    It is a rather curious thing to see how far society has let go of what once was a good principle for   living: "everyone is worthy for have a life to live."  Or another way to put that is this: the dignity and worth of human lives. This was the ethic and foundation which Christianity had given to many different civilisation that it encounter and won over (How Christianity changed the World!); but of lately we see a complete reversal of this wonderful notion. But now we see that due to secular thinking and scientism; then ideologies like feminism and so on such a notion which is other-centeredness has been replace a sinful self centred deception.  Let us consider a few facts that have shaped this new way of thinking. The scale of time This ethical revisionist ideal has come on us fast-- real fast in fact, but even so there have been clear signs of it taking place. For  the wrath of God  is revealed from heaven against all u...

High-jacking the narrative.

  Here we have the perfect lesson into what happens when political and social ideologies are allowed to infect beloved franchises such as ghostbuster; James Bond and other movies. Now this does not mean you have to be a fan or even like every film that has been released. But still the principle applies: if a series of films is known for a particular ideal or a particular kind of character, then what reason other than to be one of virtue signallers who want to be seen to fit into the latest trend.

There can be no originality.           Repudiating the Past One of the clearest pieces of evidence of this "new narrative" happens to be that certain groups who falsely view the...

Four Lessons that Face Book has taught us!

It has been well stated by Albert Mohler of the briefing that " We come to understand that human dignity means that human beings made by God are made to relate to one another as human beings. Not to objects, not to abstractions, not merely to names on social media, not just to pictures, highly curated about experiences that are distorting. And for that matter, fundamentally false in terms of reality."   In other words, we have lost a valuable part of our humanity because we do not know how to interact in the manner our forbearers did.  But what is worse is that in this taking place we are allowing a danger to creep in. Let take note of that point. So we can learn some vital lessons: First lesson: an unhealthy obsession.  We can be obsessed by many things; some healthy and good and other not so much. And here we meet one of those latter one which is not only unhealthy but down right deadly as well. It is where teenagers who are already going through self image perple...
