Even if I had no faith prophetically, one can just see how globalization is unfolding under the democracy label.
How arrogant are we to believe others would benefit by our system of governance?
Sure, we all claim to know the wisdom associated with power and money equals absolute corruption.....
But are willing to look aside if it appears our guys are in control.....
I would be scared sheetless right now, if I didn't have the assurance of my faith.
This won't end well for many, sadly, however, it can't be stopped.
Sorry, but you can't pray this away. If you hang your hat on faith alone - you will lose.... we will lose.
Your religion is not the only one. Your beliefs are not the only one. Your perspective is only yours.
Civilization has changed and this Planet is on the verge of of a new epoch. Where it leads is anyone's guess, but as a society, people need to evolve beyond selfishness and xenophobia. Pray away......huh?
Where did I say that?
Yes, the world, therefor lives, are changing.
You can find any rationale you need to justify your beliefs, everyone can, and that's the rub....
Who's belief then wins out when it conflicts with others?
Yes, the one with the most power, not truth.
Also, indeed the world is on a threshold of new technology.
Who decides who gets cloned, or who can live forever?
Certainly not everyone, the planet won't take such pollution, so the foot print of man will need to be lessened.
Who decides that?
Yes, he with the most power.
You think your belief of inclusion ( in your mind ) is a winner....
Yet a day will come when thinning of the herd will need to be enforced, as other consideration to those holding the power will need to effect.
It's human nature, survival....
It's as old as mankind and the deepest emotion, and instinct, that will prove his own demise.
You can argue otherwise, but this reasoning explains every war and confrontation, etc, since man was hatched.
