The Nietzscheans

Nietzsche's will to power has been the dominating philosophy of the past one hundred years. It is selfish and arrogant. You might have heard about what a U.S. Senator said to a Army General today. The General began to answer Senator Barbara Boxer's question by saying, "Ma'am..." She interrupted him and stated that she wanted to be addressed as Senator. Understand that the word "ma'am" is a term of respect in the military but Boxer implied that the General was showing disrepect. Many who heard this think that it might be the other way around.

Imagine what she might have said if someone told her that Jesus is Lord and she isn't?

be careful what you say

In Acts 12, one of the Herod's spoke and was praised by the people of Tyre and Si don as a god speaking. He accepted their praise and died a horrible death.

Voltaire stated that his books would become famous while the Bible would become a museum piece. Few have heard of him and his house was bought and used by a Bible society to send out Bibles.

Either the owner or ship's captain said before the maiden voyage of the Titanic that even God could not sink it. It sunk.

A few days ago the editor of Newsweek said that Obama was like God. If I were the President, I would disavow that idea immediately. Paul and Barnabas were thought to be gods in Acts 13 but quickly ran into the audience to show that they were merely men.

As for Newsweek, there appears to be a death wish to a once important weekly. I would encourage the editor to rethink his statement before he sinks with his weekly.
