PhilosophyQuotesLyricsPhilosophers generally agree without an absolute God to make the rules there is no such thing as a moral absolute there are only preferences You don't actually have a right to live you just prefer not to die Someone else on the other hand might want to kill you regardless of how you feel about it and who is to say that they're wrong? In the absence of absolute morality power reigns supreme the strong survive and the weak get exploited Thankfully most governments see it as their duty to uphold what they see as your Godgiven right to live and governments also happen to be the strongest institution among men (which means they can enforce morality upon those who don't necessarily agree with your right to live) The founders of the United States of America put it well when they declared \\”We hold these truths to be selfevident 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\\” Unfortunately some governments don't share this worldview and their people suffer terribly for it Why Am I Here? The Theistic Worldview Why am I here? Well if God does exist that means He is ultimate reality If He created you for a reason that's ultimately why your here If you're valuable to Him that's ultimately what you're worth What He says is right is absolutely right and what He says is wrong is absolutely wrong We may be free moral agents with the freedom to make moral decisions but that doesn't mean we can choose what actually is right or wrong that just means we're capable of choosing to be right or wrong God makes the rules The question is will He enforce them? Will God ever hold us accountable for our moral decisions? The prevailing instinct among the majority seems to be that yes God will hold us accountable It's as if most people instinctually know that one day they're going to have to explain all the bad things they've done (which of course means that they also instinctually know that there is such a thing as moral absolutes) The point is if God really does exist terms like \\”justice\\” \\”purpose\\” and \\”morality\\” aren't abstract notions God has a purpose for you (that's why He made you) He's the one who instituted morality and in the end He'll see that justice prevails That's a comforting thought to some but it's terrifying to others.

[See Mark 83538 Matthew 162427] Eventually most people will consider the reality of eternity Those that recognize that life continues after death will have to wonder what impact their present life will have on their eternal life Hopefully some will come see that the decisions and actions of our lives determine the place of our eternal existence In other words life prepares us for eternity for good or bad This too is part of our purpose “Everyone in CabriniGreen (one of Chicago's toughest housing projects) it seems knows 63yearold Brother Bill He's hard to miss He wears a flowing skyblue cassock made from hundreds of tattered denim patches Brother Bill's mission is to bring peace to the troubled housing project Fiftythree times by his count he has waded into gunfire in order to stop it Fiftythree times the gunfire has stopped and 53 times he has emerged unscathed He talks triggeritching assailants into putting away their guns and going home to their families He sits beside wounded gangsters who hope to die and persuades them to live And he insists that there is nothing special about him or his accomplishments He just says 'I'm an ordinary man on an extraordinary mission' He doesn't preach he loves One of his fans a 22yearold “vice lord” says 'I really think God sent him here'″ [Time Magazine] Brother Bill is a man who understands why he is here Do you?.
