With less than a week
before Christmas, some people wonder about the need for this religious
holiday. It doesn't take much reflection
to agree with our very basic necessity: HELP.
We cannot pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps; we've tried it—and
failed.
“Carlyle
said that men were mostly fools. Christianity, with a surer realism, says that
they are all fools. Sometimes called the doctrine of original sin, it may also
be described as the doctrine of the equality of men. [For] whatever primary and
far-reaching moral dangers affect any man, affect all men. All men can be
criminals, if tempted; all men can be heroes, if inspired.” – GK Chesterton
