WE SHOULD ALSO ASK HOW MUCH IS WESTERN CIV TO BLAME for not allowing for a Christian sense of purpose & meaning to life as western civ continues to marginalize Christianity & missionaries in favor of secularism & individualism. Secular western civ wants to provide food for the poor but without a meaningful message of hope.Its just "biological." Secular western civ wants to save born humans (but not unborn human babies) for the same reason they want to "save the whales." But without a sense of future hope after this life. Islam,albeit wrong,at least offers its people future hope after this earthly life. That's how they manage to entice people to commit suicide for the sake of the cause (ie suicide bombers). Christianity also offers hope for life after this earthly journey,but its REAL & it doesn't involve killing others or self to get there (albeit some of us will be killed by others for the sake of our faith & cause). As secular western civ continues to try to sideline Christianity,Islam actually fills the gap in some cases. Ironically,secular western civ is creating their own demise because islam extremists hate them just as much as they hate any other non-Islamists. Secular western civ wrongly thinks that if we just make enough space & give enough respect to Islam extremists we will all eventually find a way to live at peace. Secular western civ doesn't realize "living peacefully" here on earth is not the goal nor good enough for Islam extremists. They have commands from the Koran that they must obey, whcih they take both literally & obviously seriously. For any muslims or extreme islamists out there,I invite you to a BETTER WAY,...,its called Christianity. Sorry that our media et al won't allow us much room to truly reach out to you. But we are still HERE, & do care. Let me tell you more. Email me at PraiseTrinityGod@gmail.com (frank Vk)
"The pursuit of meaning is a basic human need, not an
indulgence, and, if not directed positively, it can be
rechannelled destructively towards terribly cruel acts by
some manipulating us into deceptions.
