Sophisticates make fun of religion and religious people, but if their car broke down at night on the other side of town, in a strange neighborhood, they would, given the alternatives, be thrilled if the first to come by was a born-again Christian. Despite all the calumny and harassment, Christians are generally happy, well-adjusted, and uniquely unconfused about the purpose of life. They are not confounded by arrogant intellectual elitism, which asserts that human existence is a meaningless event in an unending, mindless flow of meaningless events. They are unimpressed by the pompous, humanistic idea that we are born out of nothingness, to live and die only to disappear back into nothingness. Christians know this kind of thinking makes absolutely no sense at all.
Christians believe there are no throwaways in life.
Life has meaning. The universe is rational.
