In a world where words often differ from actions, much is preached by those believers of faith on the spiritual and moral values that should guide our lives and actions. Beautiful words indeed! We all want heaven but do we understand that we have to work for it? We all want peace, freedom, respect of our human dignity, justice and equality, but are we prepared to suffer for it? To win a battle, one has to fight! The agnostic, the atheist, the unbeliever can’t reconcile the confusion where believers words do not match the reality of their actions. The distrust is compounded by the “good guys” that encourage ‘justified’ open war to destroy the “bad guys” . Yet, who has any right to judge another when all are imperfect. All are sinners. Is this judgement by one’s peers, or a judgement of the uninvolved of those involved in this negative reactionary, anti-social act? Few ask, “Why did this happen?”
The world has become more reactionary and defensive in it’s response to the human crisis. The blame game is on, illusions and delusions created using technology’s most efficient tool -AI-ed SOCIAL MEDIA!
So, the Unbeliever resorted to prayer, begging God to sort out the confusion and make “heaven on earth” a possibility… if such exists…
Is there any chance that they who claim to be “believers” will practice what they preach. Stop confusing the unbelievers and driving them away. God will not blame them. It is too complex for the mind to absorb but hypocrisy is a complex animal and should be studied carefully.
I remember one sentence in a book I read, maybe decades ago, that went somewhat like this, ” Hypocrisy is the tribute evil pays to good…” Forgive any inaccuracy, but it made sense to me then and now.
How does one convince the Unbeliever? the Atheist? the Agnostic? the Free thinker? when words don’t match actions, the talk isn’t walked? Do lies become truth by being repeated? This is self-created bad luck, or making a dark prediction become reality, not because it’s true but because it is “self-made truth”. Manufactured and artificial, often without substance or valid reason. Inhumanity marches on to conquer the earth!
