Once you understand this concept, you'll feel a different pull to it.Samson Corwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148822362930969284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-83978731470833489402017-01-22T03:06:29.305-05:002017-01-22T03:06:29.305-05:00Indeed, Lewis even said, "The sins of the fle...Indeed, Lewis even said, "The sins of the flesh are bad but not the worst of the sins."<br /><br />I remember being shocked when the writer of a traditional Catholic magazine proclaimed that greed for wealth was once considered as bad or worse than sexual immorality.Prateekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15287835907015065883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-33266839393668388472017-01-20T10:09:00.144-05:002017-01-20T10:09:00.144-05:00What’s the distinction, then, between a supernatur...What’s the distinction, then, between a supernatural force and simply an interaction with another thing that has its own nature? For instance, the nature of a human body is that it will fall quickly if at a height. But a parachute falls much more slowly, so if the body is secured to a parachute, it alters the body’s natural behavior. I don’t imagine anyone would describe that as supernatural.Greg Pandatshanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319278333140929950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-24624691704522964392017-01-20T00:51:58.035-05:002017-01-20T00:51:58.035-05:00What in the world do you mean by "UNDER a cor...What in the world do you mean by "UNDER a corrupted spirit"? Do you think the human spirit is something other than us, somehow haunting us?!<br /><br />Interestingly, I happen to be reading C.S. Lewis at the moment, and he did not find atheist prudes surprising in the least: a distatste for creation is the common factor in both atheism and prudery!gcallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065877215969589482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-27911975794702379062017-01-19T22:49:06.214-05:002017-01-19T22:49:06.214-05:00Interesting.

(or vice versa?)<br /><br />I ask these questions, because a friend of mine once told me, "How come you as an atheist are so prude about sex when many religious people are not? You have no hell to fear of." I had no response.Prateekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15287835907015065883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-52744309426248297672017-01-19T08:41:31.347-05:002017-01-19T08:41:31.347-05:00Yes, there is something other the nature of their ...Yes, there is something other the nature of their bodies LEADING them to act that way: a corrupted spirit.
