By Warwick Marsh, published 24/12/2010

One song more than any other embodies the qualities of Christmas and has been there to prove it.

'Aw now Runner... which God have you personally decided gave me anything? '

The Creator God, the living God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, the God seen clearly through creation, the loving Father who sent His Son as a sacrifice for yours and mine sin. There is no other God except for the vain imaginations in men' heads.

I'll get in first, Runner. What I wish you had written was:

"There is no ..... God except for the vain imaginations in men' heads."

That's right, there is no pre-ordained purpose to existence, we create it, we shape it, nobody else to blame. We are free of gods, in a world that is forever uncertain and unfinished.

very convenient to make yourself out to be god. You should have learn't by now you can control very little. Don't overestimate man's puny achievements. Without God you and I would not have air to breathe, Don't give me that we got air by chance rot. Any honest scientist knows that is crap. The big we create it, we shape it, we are free from gods is one big delusion that ignores the obvious.

We shape our purposes, Runner, we 'create' them, not that anything ever runs perfectly to plan, but that's the point: we live in a God-free, imperfect, uncertain and unending world. Yes, we are puny, but we are also on our own, no Grandad to hold our hands.

As they say, enjoy !

The sort of twit runner parodies is cute, don't you think?

"an invisible man makes it go" is not associated with the capacity to reach the intellectual pedals, let alone be allowed to drive.

runner parodies the sort of child unable to understand why.

Cute in a child or the intellectually challenged, contemptible in an adult.

Well done runner, an excellent parody.

Folks

Can I ask then: In a Godless world, What is the meaning and purpose of life? Why would you chose to think of other or be kind or be selfless or even adhere to any form of morals. What would become of values and principles.

Would Godlessness lead to hopelessness, abuse, contempt for life and internal death, chaos and decay?? That is the direction our society is heading. Just look at the statistics (news), More divorse more fatherlesness, more abuse( off all kinds) more suicide more family breakdown more workplce discontent.....and the list goes on.

The current trend leads us further away from either a silent night or a holy night.
