THE FATAL FLAW

OF

ATHEISTS

&

PROGRESSIVES

1

"The moment you have a self at all, there is a
possibility of putting yourself first-wanting to
be the center-wanting to be God, in fact.
That was the sin of Satan; and that was the
sin he taught the human race..."

-C.S. Lewis, The Case for Christianity, p.43


There is one question in this life that must, and ultimately will be answered by every single one of us:  "Will you live this life for the glory of God (the purpose for which we were created, see Isaiah 43:7), or for your own glory?"

"What Satan put into the heads of
our remote ancestors was the idea
that they could "be like gods" -
could set up on their own as if
they had created themselves-
be their own masters-invent some
sort of happiness for themselves
outside God, apart from God."

C.S. Lewis, The Case for Christianity, p.43

The United States was originally established for the glory of God, thus it became the most blessed country the world has ever known...but no longer.

"And out of that hopeless attempt
has come nearly all that we call
human history-money, poverty,
ambition, war, prostitution, classes,
slavery-the long terrible story
of man trying to find something
other than God which will make
him happy.  The reason why it
can never succeed is this.  God
made us...A car is made to run
on petrol, and it won't run
properly on anything else...
God can't give us happiness and
peace apart from Himself, because
it isn't there.  There's no such thing."
-C.S. Lewis, The Case for Christianity, p.43

Karl Marx was wrong.
