I learned about the original Greek meaning from my son learning Greek and history in upper school...
since then I am not so "scared" anymore of the word...sure people use it and know it by it's middle/late meaning...however sometimes it pays to know the roots to allow some steam...which otherwise builds up to go
Anyway there is ahuge difference between being an idiot and following/knowing an idiocy...maybe for lack of alternatives...plus I am pretty sure that the old boy itself is behind such atheist idiocy...
so it's a matter of being deceived and that has automatically some sympathy with me.
The point is also...where does the smartness...the direction come into the accumulation etc.etc....as I stressed before...people want to have their consciousness eased, that there could be a moral superior...superior actually in any way...there who governs ultimately the earth and it's beings....it kind of reminds me ofthe parable of the king sending ultimately His very/only son :
Mat 21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Mat 21:39 And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and slew [him].
So it's actually not God being deadd as proclaimed by Nietzsche...it's rather a killing...something actively done...and I figure people can either kill their consciousness about that and also God in their mind.
I am sure,that atheist can be some very moral people...towards the fellow neighbours...but I think satanists rather only love their own kind...they know nothing about loving God and their enemy.
By the way my sister and my brother in law being scientists...natural science...are something like agnostics...and kind of equally respective to faith as you are...I am far from thinking them to be idiots on the natural realm...on the spiritual plane...which exists...whether people like it or not...they are "subdeveloped"...as you would/could say in German.....so I am kind of praying...waiting...seeing, what I can do???
Of course...there will never be everything discovered...it's a "stupid myth"...think of what Heisenberg...Nobel prize winning physicist...once said: that for every two points which get newly discovered there are lying an infinitesimal amount of points in between (2 points defining a stretch...normally infinitesimal many points in between)...so I never get into that hype, of what has been newly discovered...interesting ...yes...just shows the bigness of God
Are you working in an office...to marvel at a fax-machine ; ) ????
