I was reminded the other week when a caller to the Bible Forum started reciting historical and scientific facts that bore no resemblance to anything I had ever read or learned, that we live in a parallel universe.
Technically it's about worldviews: how people view the world they live in. And a Christian sees things differently than does an atheist -- or at least he should.
The caller couldn't think of an atheist, world figure, who was responsible for the mass murder of thousands, if not millions of people declaring this "proof" that religion is the biggest problem in the world.
He saw the Crusades and Hitler as Christians and Israel's incursion into Gaza as adequate examples of his theory. Never mind that Hitler was creating a completely atheistic (and occultic) society, or that the Crusader's raping and pillaging across Asia Minor was not in the least Christian.
He also didn't want to hear my list of atheistic despots: from Attilla the Hun, to Gheghis Khan, to Joseph Stalin, to Mao Tse Tung, to Slobivan Misolovic, to Idi Amin, to Pol Pot.
But the most shocking revelation was that this caller was working on a Master's Degree in Education! He's going to be educating YOUR children. And he hasn't heard any of these things?
So, if this doesn't motivate parents to make sure their children understand the world they live in, they probably don't care.
The real question is: Do YOU see the world the way God presents it? Or the way godless ideologues present it? Does it really matter?
It matters more than whether or not you have enough food! There is a (not-so) subtle battle raging behind the veil -- on a spiritual plane. It is the battle for your heart and mind, and that of your children.
When a parent entrusts their child to the Federal School System and to the media for their world-view, is it really such a surprise that so many have such a warped perspective?
