This might sound like a dumb question, but it's been on my mind for a while:
If mankind (as a whole) managed to do away with all of the non-naturally occuring perceivable evils in the world (genocide, poverty, corruption, etc), what would be the next problem? I mean, when you get down to it, every problem the in the world has been repeated historically, so I suppose what I'm really asking is...what new way is there to fuck up?
..?
Simple really.
Mankind is not capable of EVER dong away with those things. But of course since no one takes the Bible seriously one cannot know this. Mankind is born with sin from original sin, every thought we have is inherently evil or twisted in one manner or another. Thus even if we did have peace on Earth achieved by our own merits without GOD getting involved, it would only last a span of maybe a quarter century
if that. Then begining with a single person questioning things and not wanting to conform to what everyone else is doing... or someone began envying another for either a posession or a person they themselves did not have would spark violence to have and/or control it. Someone tired of being in the same status would rediscover that a balled up fist can do damage to another. It be like those apes in 2001: Space Oddessey learning a mere bone can make a smaller ape dominant.
The shit would start up again. Eventually violence, greed, corruption and more would manifest. But in the end it'll be as it shall, and GOD will be
right when he destroys this beautiful but fucked up world that has destroyed the innocence in most of us. I've come to the point that I really don't care whether tommorow there's a global nuclear war, if it's the Tributlation period of the Bible or who's president. It's clearly evident that anything we do is wrong even after being saved by the grace (not
our works) of Jesus's spilt blood and sacrifice. None of us can measure up and quite frankly I find that depressing. THE MAN is going to have his way in the end no matter what we be us saved sinners or unsaved sinners does. Money won't and doesn't have any Real value... time is something only man came up with for feeble minded reasons and is outside the realm of GOD... Our endeavors are towards things that produce only fleeting "things" that we cannot take with us. So I say fuck it.
Who gives a fuck?
Try your best to mind your business. Pray to the Lord to forgive you when you screw up (if you've already accepted his sacrifice and understand nothing you do saves you from damnation, but only his sacrifice and his grace keeps GOD the fathers wrath from you. Not neccessarily "lost blessings" but his ultimate resolve)
Do good deed because you want to, not because you have to.
Stand your ground and fuck anyone up that won't respect your space.
LIVE what fleeting goodness their is to experience in this life always pushing yourself to the edge.
Accept the fact nothing we do really means shit, then go about your day.
Somehow or another, one way or another... it's all gone and when it's gone GOOD. Doesn't mean I hate living, but when there's no point to having ambitions because the fruit produced ultimately doesn't matter, well just live life minute to minute... fuck ten year plans, and really who gives a fuck if mankind could erradicate evil? Doesn't matter what president we have, they're all on the take on one level or another. Politics is bullshit, the laws of the land aren't steeped in reality but rather a contract to be bullied and accept bullshit because others were too weak to stand up for themselves.
pffffft...
