Christmas, a time to welcome the creator of the world : Comments

By Peter Sellick, published 23/12/2022

You can see how the idea that belief in God as creator is a matter of faith and not science because the assertion that Jesus is the Word of God made flesh is not open to scientific investigation.

As human knowledge expands, then the concept of God needs to expand to accommodate that knowledge. Just as human knowledge is becoming more complex, the being that the religious claim is responsible for all knowledge has to evolve in complexity to accommodate that belief.

Just as one could say to a blind man; "You are fortunate, for you cannot see the horrors and evilness of the world." One could equally say; "You are unfortunate, you cannot see the beauty and goodness of the world". Both statements are equally true, but the first is negative and limited, but the second is positive and unlimited. If you talk with an absolute believer in God, you soon come to a point where the believer will curtail the conversation by declaring; "It is my belief in God that is my faith, and nothing else matters." Well, ignorance is bliss! (for some).

It is my opinion that faith (another word for ignorance) is giving God a bad name.

The anti-Christian Essendon football club - who knows how sincerely - has apologised to Andrew Thornburn for forcing his resignation because the Christian church he belongs to had expressed views held by millions of Christians.

Christian, Lyle Shelton , asks, "would it have happened had Thorburn not pursued legal action against the club?"

Probably not.

Shelton also suggests that Opposition Leader, Peter Dutton, should also apologise for calling Christian views an "abomination" at the time.

The celebration of Christmas in post-Christian and Woke Australia is hypocritical for a majority of the population.

According to Census data about 44% of people identify
as Christian today making it Australia's most common
religion ahead of those nominating "no religion" at 39.9%.
Hinduism, Islam, and Sikhism were among the most common
non-Christian religions. A 2021 survey found 3 in 10
Australians said they would go to church at Christmas if
invited by family and friends.

The Christian based holidays endure strongly in Australia,
but they are becoming more and more celebrations of
family and close relationships, which perhaps is not a
bad thing in changing the way we see things and in
changing to become a more encompassing nation -
celebrating together.

If it took "GOD" 6 days to create the earth, there is no way he could have created the universe.

Apparently the heathens running the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney have replaced their annual. Nativity Scene with aboriginal art this year.

Out with Christianity, in with identity politics.
