The 'god' of their Imagination

Religious Liberals and the 'god' of their Imagination
By Brannon S. Howse

How can a radical liberal believe in abortion, same-sex marriage, all religions are equal, truth is relative, the Bible is not the inspired Word of God and yet still claim to believe in God? Easy, the majority of radical liberals believe in a god that is the figment of their imagination. They believe in a god they have created just as if they had sculpted a god of clay or wood; only this is a god crafted in their imagination and a god that serves their own desires, wishes and purpose. In reality their god is really their belief and commitment to a system and worldview of values that places man as the center and measure of all things. Man is their god and humanism is their religion.

Random House Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language defines "religion" as: "a set of beliefs." Webster’s New World Dictionary defines "religion" as: "a system of belief."[1] The word "belief" is defined as opinions-thoughts upon whichone basis their actions.[2]

Humanism is a religion and we need to acknowledge the battle that rages in America today between the radical liberals and traditional conservatives or between blue state and red state citizens is a battle between two opposing worldviews, two religious worldviews.

I can hear the liberals screaming now; "I believe in the God of the Bible". Unless an individual has a love and commitment to the God of the Bible then only believing in God does very little good. The Bible says that even the demons believe in God.

Beyond a belief in God, it is a love for God that drives people to serve and obey Him. The Bible makes it clear that if you claim to love God but don’t keep His commandments, then you really don’t love God. On judgment day, just believing in the God of the Bible will not be good enough to save you. The apostle Paul said having faith in God is not enough for faith without works is dead. A faith that does not produce the Biblical fruits of the spirit is a dead faith that saves not.
