God talk

It is sad to see the statistics of those who died in care home.   In Britain the most vulnerable in society did not even make it into the figures of deaths until today.   How shameful… There deaths were not seen as important as other figures.   Behind every figure there is a story.   Behind every figure there is a human being.   Behind every figure there is a family.   In Finland too over half the dead were the elderly but at least there was the respect to share the figures.     We need to learn from this.   We need to protect the vulnerable and the helpless in society.   This is a mirror that we all need to look into.   The Bible has strong words for protecting the weak… We as a society have despised this.   We seem to be drunk on the latest fashions, the latest gadgets and these things seem to be more important that taking care of the weak and helpless.   I hope and pray that we heed this call to think about our ne...

Anyhow this is a divergent path in society away from God centred values.   I haven’t defined this yet… It will not be defined to tightly to one particular religion and I will most probably put emphases on universals rather than particulars. You might ask; What is God? This is an appropriate question. From my point of view, we can start from the general and work towards the particular revelation.   What will happen in discussion and happens in reality is that on the general …Jew, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist will agree but as we move towards the particular revelation obviously disagreements will take place.      There was a time in human society that writing didn’t exist as we know it today… So how would these societies have spoken about God?

My question is: Where are we today? A large chunk of the Western populations is secular in outlook and we have a high dependence on science. At the micro level the populations are generally living longer.   The younger generations nowadays are into CrossFit or yoga types of workout… On the macro level the world is at war hot or cold.   Russia pretends to be democratic and the opposition political groups are supressed.   South of Russia The Turkic states and Turkey dream of a pan Turanism (pan Turkic shared culture) hearkening to the return of the good old days.   They want to prosper again in a new silk road.   China as well, is trying to conquer the world through trade and selling merchandise.   This includes a few silk roads that Criss cross across the globe. We then have Trump who comes up with whacky ideas such as injecting people with disinfectant and in actuality The USA has one of the highest fatalities due to this Coronavirus.
