18) On Apathy

The second, and worse trap for a man to fall into is apathy. This evil is especially prevalent in theoretical existentialism. If man is without meaning, why ought he to do anything at all? Man cannot handle this idea for the most part, and those that truly did “get it” all committed suicide. Those who claim to “get it” are liars by mere fact of there life. But I digress. The problem with practical apathy is that it removes interest from a man's life. If there is nothing to do that is “interesting,” then man sits bored. I must say that is, in many ways, what brought about the idea of the social-networking websites. One apathy is worse than all others combined. That is, apathy towards God. This apathy is often evident, even in those who claim Christianity. Men don't care either because they are already saved or because there is no God. Apathy in the first is acceptable, as the man is simply lost. However, the second form of apathy is a heresy that is far too simple to fall into. This relates directly to 1 Corinthians 5, as the apathy shown creates an apostasy and immorality within the church.
