Really smart guys like @hubermanlab are starting to realize it actually takes MORE faith to be an atheist.
What happened to him after he started believing in God and praying defies science and it's straight out of the Bible.
The Christian worldview is the only worldview that can justify and will maintain the human rights and freedoms upon which our nation was founded 250 years ago today. Islam won’t (sharia law), Hinduism won’t (caste system), Atheism won’t (no one is higher than the dictator, which led to 100 million murdered by atheistic regimes in the 20th Century).
Those other worldviews do not believe,“that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Our founders knew that rights can only come from God—not governments—but that good governments are supposed to secure those rights. That’s what Christianity teaches.
Reflecting back on the founding of our country, John Adams wrote to Thomas Jefferson in 1813, “The general Principles on which the Fathers achieved Independence, where the only Principles in which that beautiful Assembly of young Gentlemen could Unite. . . And what were these general Principles? I answer, the general Principles of Christianity. . . ”
So whether you are a Christian or not, you should appreciate the principles that come from Christianity, including inalienable rights, and that governments are temporary institutions that are to protect the lives and liberties of beings that are eternal and made in the image of God—you and me.
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
When challenged on the notion that America wasn’t founded as a Christian nation, Charlie Kirk responds: “9 out of the original 13 states required … a declaration of faith to be able to serve in government.”
America was founded as a Christian Nation.
There is a difference between what the Bible DESCRIBES and what it PRESCRIBES.
Yes, the Bible describes sinners doing sinful things. That's the whole point: We're not good people who just need encouragement to fulfill our potential; We're bad people who need a Savior.
In fact, the Bible DESCRIBES sinners doing sinful things, SO THAT it can PRESCRIBE giving your life to a Savior who leads you in a new and better way.
There's only 1 guy in the whole Bible who leads a good life: Jesus.
.@POTUS: "Americans have always deeply believed in the promise of Christ’s words in the Gospel of Matthew— 'with God, all things are possible.' That's why as we prepared to enter the 250th Year, last month, tens of thousands of patriots came together on our National Mall—and we officially rededicated America as One Nation Under God... We always have been—and we always will be." ✝️🇺🇸
Before anyone freaks out and says this is “un-American”, Thomas Jefferson’s school board chose two books to be used in Washington DC public schools to teach kids how to read in 1805:
— The Bible
— Isaac Watts’ hymnal
*don’t know why I’m on a US history tweet-kick right now, think I’m feeling real “250”
Because the strategy of secularists is “rewrite the past to control the future.”
“How do we keep Christianity and Christians from influencing the legislated morality of the country and continue its hurl toward more evil?
By deceiving people the US never was largely influenced by Christianity in the past, so it never should be in the future.”
Apply the whole Word of God to the whole of the issues in the World.
Restated: Do not shrink back from declaring the WHOLE counsel of God (Acts 20:27)
Or: "You are the salt of the earth"
(not the salt of the "church" or "just apply the Bible to in-house issues among Christians and let Babylon be Babylon." You are the salt of the EARTH. Our job as emissaries from heaven is to oppose evil and decay wherever it is.
