God created us and gave us the basic principles of decency with which to live our lives -- the Ten Commandments. He also gave us the power of choice, because we were created to be thinking individuals. What we do with those gifts charts our course, both short- and long-term. Frankly, we don't seem to be doing so well.


You're right on God giving us the tools....you're also right that we surely don't seem to be doing so well.
What has happened to mankind?

Of course, if G-d is not dead, the argument could be made that the bad things that happen in the world would not be allowed to happen. Just the other side of the coin.

God is dead. Or, at least, that is what many claim. No one attended His funeral. He was buried in a unmarked grave. People claim that humanity is now free to chart it's own course, free of religious dogma.

If there were no God all along, who prevented the human race from falling under the world rule of dark governments, like Nazism, Communism, where groups of people were deemed vermin to humanity, and were put in death camps.

Now that God is dead, and the gates to our social evolution are no longer chained up by a belief in God, why has the world been brought to the brink of global war? Why is there more suffering than ever?

I believe the reason is, because when a world ceases to acknowledge God and give Him thanks, they take all the honor and glory that belong to God, and claim it for themselves. Then the healing, and protecting hand of God turns into the hand of judgement.

The human race will never be able to reach, or create, the promise land; as long as God remains dead in their hearts.

I believe we've become self-serving. How many people are taking their children to church and Sunday School? How many people have more "important" things to do on a Sunday instead of spending a couple of hours at church. We've become self-absorbed and selfish. This is the result

I think you have Hitlery pegged pretty well. Our problem is primarily that we have too many Americans who are dumber than tree stumps, greedy as greedy can be, too lazy to work for a living, too dumb to meet any good job descriptions, and THEY are the sheep the democrat party uses to get into, and stay in, power. The powers that be in the democrat party care not one whit about the poor, the children, the handicapped, or the minorities. The powers that be in the democrat party care about only themselves, no one and no thing else. Either the sheep are too dumbed down to recognize that OR they are so lazy they will take the massive disrespect the DNC hands out and lose all self-respect. This is not to excuse republicans in power. Too many of them have joined the PTB in the democrat party. The decent Americans are SCREWED by the government over which we have little if any say.

Interesting! If God is Dead what are the circumstances that caused his death? If he was murdered then this criminal must be brought to justice The charge is Cosmic Murder!

If God isn't dead because he never existed then someone has perputrared a fraud and duped humanity! The Charge is Cosmic Treason! If God died from "Natural Causes" as a result of a broken heart then We The People should be put on trial!

What has happened to mankind? Too many people have not chosen morality in their life-styles, but have chosen greed, jealousy, hate, and self-loving. There isn't a lot we can do to turn them around. As I see it we can only try to help them see the light - and I don't specifically refer to God, but to simple morality - and live our own lives by our principles. The left lives in fear, as it should, given their propensity to trash morality, and the best people to take out their frustrations on are people of principle.

The human race did fall under the rule of dark governments, there were over 80 million people killed during the second world war. Both sides claimed god on their side which begs the question why didn't he prevent it?

Probably the same reason school teachers do not do their students' studying for them. It is the students' job to do the learning......it is the teachers' job to do the teaching. Once humanity gets bad enough to prove it cannot keep itself functioning, that is when I expect the world to end. I predict that time is on the horizon. The entire world has turned itself into gibberish and is floundering around, accomplishing very little positive effects......the amoral have brought us to this despicable moment. Thanks a lot, Kevyn.

I'd LOVE to hear your explanation of how life came to be. You know, what was responsible for all humans to have most of the same physical traits, whereby men and women fit together anatomically, cows and bulls fit together anatomically, whereby babies are formed, how blood is affected by many of the same things in the same ways. Yep, there's a lot we could learn from you if you were prone to explain nature to us in a way that made any sense to us. Would you do that for us, especially for us who believe in our Creator, whom some call God, others call other things, but still refer to their creator.

I'd love also to learn from you exactly how the planets aligned as they did, how gravity came to exist, how all of which I have mentioned actually fall under the heading of "miracles".

BadBob. I soppose your version of morality is Hillary, as alawyer, who defends pedophiles that she knows are guilty, and gets them off by convincing the jury that the girls were at fault because they kept making passes at the middle age men, until the poor guys couldn't take it any more and gave in. I have a problem with any one who is okay with making the molested children the bad guys and the molesters the victims. I'm sure you agree with Hillary that it shows how good she is as a lawyer.
