You do not have to live in a submarine to be part of a sub-culture.
A societal sub-set of humanity has been quite vocal in their Secularism:
not only do they not believe that God exists but also, (quoting a wiser human)
that 'Man is the measure of all things'.
They are rational people, generally good people, who suffer a HUGE blindspot in their visualization of the cosmic all: they can't make sense of a Creation which HAS a Creator.
So they choose to live in a sort of "Secular Terrarium", an existence barren of any thought of God.
As God (in their thinking) does not exist, MAN must step up and solve all of the problems of the Creation.
But MAN is the CAUSE all of the problems, so it's a Mess of a world.
Here's where they kind of get it right-they believe that the majority of humanity, (at least the smart ones)-agree with their Secularism.
Too true.
In this fallen world (hey! Watch that 'fallen' stuff, Doug!)-the majority does embrace the Secular imperative.
So Christians, those belonging to God ARE the minority, the few, the unfallen.
We are the sub to this culture. Absolutely.
For the road and gate are narrow that lead to Salvation.
But this Secular world has an expiration date.
But we Christians will one day live eternally with our Creator and guess what?
God is still calling sinners to repentance.
There has never been a Christian taken from the ranks of Angels-we all, without exception, come from the ranks of those who have been dismissive of God, angry with God, trusting on our own righteousness.
Seek Him and leave the world behind.
