  • Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

If I understand what was said at your link, the thesis is the explanation for all the bad news we hear is that it is symptomatic of the human race on a path to extinction.

An alternative explanation could be the Christian one, that there is something defective in human nature (sin) that cannot be ignored. However, rather than a hopeless path to extinction, we have the option (as individuals) not in collective effort (like governmental compulsion) but in being rescued and given eternal life by a God who gave us free will and desires we would use it to choose him over our own selfishness that leads to our own destruction.

I understand that many not only do not accept Christianity, but recoil from any mention of it. In addition many people calling themselves Christian over centuries has given it a pretty bad reputation. However, as an explanation why the world seems headed down the drain, it could be given consideration.
