"There must be someway out of here"
All along the Watchtower.
In a recent interview on the nature of the troubles currently whirling through our society, Atheist and academic Peter Boghossian informed the Spectator that one of the key reasons that we have such dreadful ideology at work everywhere right now is the impact of New Atheism on our times. It has been a movement, he notes (around the 43 minute mark), which has demolished confidence in faith systems, especially here in the west in Christianity, and replaced it with a gaping hole which has been filled with the utter nightmare we now face of totalitarian identity movements and the abyss this brings with it.
Whilst the likes of Sam Harris revel in the stupidity of this, others are beginning to seriously ask what can be done to rectify the horror. Is there any solution to an age falling to a morass of meaninglessness?
I also came across this superb piece today which shows how someone who was a third generation atheist came to genuine and life changing faith in God - it really hits the spot :)
Enjoy!
