Consequences are the things that usually keep us from doing really stupid things. If life had no consequences there would be constant anarchy. It is hard not to feel sometimes that we are living in a crazy world. Political leaders instead of showing humility, are showing brazen arrogance and are failing to lead their people into a safe world, a world that I new all too well growing up. What I feel is an abuse of power, just might be political pride as I am becoming oversensitive to the lack of peace in the world right now. It takes herculean faith these days to have faith these days, and keep your mind and body in a state of rest. It shouldn't be this way. Everyone is connected in this world, whether we like it or not, and sin is at an epidemic level that I sometimes wonder how God in Heaven feels about this period in history.
History and religion has seen it's fare share of abuse, but when people don't feel safe at night in their own homes, because presidents and religious leaders are clearly abusing their power, it leaves the human race feeling a sense of desperation and fear, leading to a fear of God, that is unhealthy and stressful. I do not believe that God created religion and faith as a means to bettering ones life. I believe faith was created by a loving God, so we could experience love. When love is lacking in the political structures of our world, it created abusive religion and fear of man, and ultimately fear of goodness. God is pure goodness, and his bible is pure goodness.
To purify the evil in the world is an impossible job for man, because we have within us a sin nature. We are prone to sin and to do evil, it is in our nature. When society has lost it's way, we don't need another Saviour, at this point I'm not sure what we need. There is so much conflict in the world right now, and yes people who do not believe as we do are not the problem. When an ideology sets out to dominate the thinking of human beings, the first thing to go is freedom of will. We feel powerless when we feel our voices are not being heard, and we feel hopeless when other people dominate over us. Human slavery begins in our minds, and the more we are hammered by people in power the more we feel tired and helpless to change our own lives. Some of us long to escape the pain we are feeling, because we are sure in our own minds that the afterlife will give us some relief.
It is truly a shame we have so much knowledge on our fingertips, and religious and political leaders are blinded by their own self-importance, that killing an entire nation of people becomes a sense of pride and a way to get back. We used to call this warmongering. The church is not innocent. When the poor in spirit, are being abused and ignored, and religion looses it's purpose and meaning, evil flourishes in our societies. The abuse begins in the heart and the quest and greed for more and more, and never being satisfied with our present state. War, is a pure evil. We are living in the century of warfare, we might as well accept it. It is a sad reality, when the human heart rejects God, because God is the only way we can experience happiness and goodness.
Human suffering will never be alleviated in a dark society, and mass darkness is a way of just saying that we all hate each other and wish our neighbour ill will. In the end goodness wins over evil, and there are forces all around us, mostly human forces who are bent on the destruction of the human race. Evil people do evil things, and a soul bereft of light can only create more evil and suffering for all of humanity. This is Mike.
