The Parker J Cole Show -- The Fallen State of Man

In a world overly pleased with itself, we have forgotten exactly what our true natural state is. Instead of blaming ourselves for the condition of the planet, with its wars, its anger, its ever continuing descent into madness, we tend to blame our religions as the cause. Unfortunately for the humanist, I make a bold proclamation -- man can do good things but his heart is ever turned to wickedness.  The state of man is not one rising from the ashes to become greater, bigger, and better thus thrusting away the need for God. In fact, it's the exact opposite. As we strive for higher planes through whatever means we can -- getting rid of religion, defining man as a material being without a soul, or making us the sum of chemical process and machines to be simply dialed up to the 'good' button -- we began to sink lower. For all the good we do, we at the same time see more wickedness being performed. This propensity for evil exists in all of us -- believers or not. For the non-believer, it is a problem because good people can sometimes do bad things. For the believers, it is a daily struggle we are constantly aware of. As the apostle Paul said in Romans 7:24 "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" This week's episode we will discuss the Fallen State of Man with our guest contributor author Monica Phillips. You can call in at 646-595-2083, press 1 to be live on air.
