In my opinion, I believe the previous article is a misnomer. I think we are seeing a turn not from GOD himself but from things religious in nature all together. I know that on some occasions I have seen the reports from across the globe and I’ve had to shake my head. I, like others, have a problem with people killing other people over religious views.
My Christian co-worker tried to explain the conflict that has erupted between the Palestinians and the Israelis and to adlib she basically put it that these two tribes have a conflict between who are the chosen people of GOD. Depending on which blood line from Abraham you follow either one could be correct I am guessing here so don’t flame me.
Between conflicts of chosen people and conflicts of how we came to be (creation over evolution) I find myself exhausted. I’ve had many debates over the latter, and I have come to one conclusion; if some one is set in their ways forget it you won’t sway them. LOL!
I guess the one thing that irks me the most from time to time is that some people will or will not do some of the simplest things before they take a religious figure into consideration; now I don’t necessarily mean GOD here. From destinations to marriage partners to choices of clothing to choices of food most of all these things are run past a higher power. There is nothing, quintessentially, wrong with these ideas, in my opinion, but when other decisions are made with the same thought process in mind I kind of get leery.
I know why, because I don’t understand the mentality. I wasn’t raised religious, I went to church but it wasn’t pressed and it was more for show anyway. So these are my two cents. Feel free to put in your too.
