Emotional Atheism -by Dr. Benjamin Wiker |
|
Jul 06, 2007 at 12:25 PM |
As anyone watching the best-seller lists knows, atheism is big business. There seems to be no end of books touting the end of faith. A common theme in all—Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens, Dennett—is that atheism is inherently rational and religion is irrational. Disbelief in God is a sign of humanity's intellectual maturity. Belief in God is a vestige of humanity's passion-filled childhood when it was ruled by fear, hate, and ignorance.
“It is time that we admitted that faith is nothing more than the license religious people give one another to keep believing when reasons fail,” declares Sam Harris. |

|
Jul 02, 2007 at 08:01 PM |
VATICAN CITY, JUN 7, 2007 (VIS) - At 7 p.m. today, Solemnity of Corpus Christi, Benedict XVI celebrated Mass on the square in front of Rome's Basilica of St. John Lateran, then presided at the Eucharistic procession to the Basilica of St. Mary Major.
In his homily, the Pope recalled how the Solemnity of Corpus Christi "originated in a specific historical and cultural context.

"... that we might become God"! -by Rick Luquette |
|
Apr 12, 2007 at 06:27 PM |
|
I read something disturbing in the Catechism when it first came out that shocked me. It is found in section 460: 460 The Word became flesh to make us "partakers of the divine nature": "For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God." "For the Son of God became man so that we might become God." "The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods."
