Ken Ham on Doodle 4 Google Contest : Sarah's Dream is Not Realistic
Google annually have an illustration contest and just like any other year, thousands of entries have been submitted as well for this year. This year's prompt is "What I see for the future."
This year's winner Sarah Harris said, “My future is a world where we can all learn to love each other despite our religion, gender, race, ethnicity, or sexuality. I dream of a future where everyone is safe and accepted wherever they go, whoever they are.”
It was a good idea. At her young age, Sarah already desires a world where discrimination is non-existent. A world where wars are not necessary and everyone will live safely and peacefully. I support Sarah's dream and I would do everything in my power to make it happen. But there are really people out there who hates peace. People like Ken Ham.
In Mr. Ham's blog What do you see for the future, he said, "We aren't basically good - our hearts are sinful to the core! And we don’t simply have sinful tendencies—those without Christ are slaves to sin (Romans 6:20). Man can never bring about a day when everyone will just get along and live in peace, because we can’t get rid of our sin nature."
Mr. Ham apparently don't believe in humanity. He doesn't trust the children to be peaceful as it will be against his book. A peaceful world will never need a religion and thus, he cannot let it happen. He is evangelizing that the world needs a deity to be good. We don't. This just shows how toxic religious thinking is. Sarah's dream future is just going to be destroyed by religious fanatics like Ken Ham.
It doesn't end there, he further added, "The hope for mankind isn’t in equality, education, or everyone deciding to love one another despite our differences."
I'm sorry to break it to you Mr, Ham but this is really the future that we need. Discrimination should stop. I understand that the god of the bible is in favor of sexism, slavery, rape, genocide but we don't need this. Those twisted rules are very obsolete. Everything is changing already and we have to cope with this change and not get stuck with 2,000 year-old myth.
Education is of prime importance because this is what keeps the world moving. People like Mr. Ham are afraid that the children will be educated enough to find out that religion is one hell of a fantasy. Science and technology constantly changes and these discoveries takes us farther and farther away from believing a fairy tale and this is what they are so afraid of.
I will further say that I'm so happy to find children like Sarah Harris who already have a great understanding of what goodness really is. We need more people like Sarah and I hope that there will be less Ken Hams in the future.
