Christianity is not about &#...Well said, Fr. Hart!<br /><br />Christianity is not about <i>'the way things should be,"</i> as much as it is about <i><b>"the way things are."</b></i><br /><br />As such, it explains the fallen nature of the world brought about by human sin. Paul describes this phenomenon in Romans, chapters 1-3.<br /><br />There used to be some debate about whether this was the best of <i>"all possible worlds."</i> That debate, along with Darwin's attempt to devise a better Creator is fruitless because it ignores the way things are and wastes time attempting to talk about the way things should be.<br /><br />The last chapters of the Book of the Revelation to John (particularly Ch 20-22) deal adequately with the way things <b><i>will</i></b> be when the real Creator brings history to a close. I submit no man can come up with a better ending than that.Allen Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00853861649876959271noreply@blogger.com
