Three Questions for Christians We live in a messed up mad-house world where we are fragmented into a hundred thousand religions which are primarily based on fear and are mutually exclusive as to truth. Not one religion, ideology, denomination, sect, organization, dogma, doctrine or individual is in a majority. All of these religions, etc., cannot be right, but they can all be wrong. Seven billion homo sapiens live in a physically hostile environment where we are subject to danger, damage, disease and dying, where we at best live a short life subject to many so-called vicissitudes and inexorably age and die. As Thomas Hobbs put it, “Life for men in a state of nature is poor, solitary, nasty, brutish and short”. 1. How did we get into this spiritually messed up situation? There seems to be no pattern of evidence that God is currently involved in a significant way. 2. If there is a God, why is God not involved, or involved in a more visible and tangible way? It should be clear that God is waiting for US to do something, that we should not be waiting for God. 3. What can we do to change or get out of this situation? Has the great teacher gave us instructions that have NEVER been understood or followed? |
