Today two ladies came around to our front door to spread the word of God. He has made promises to free the world of suffering the tell me.
I don't intend to be sacrilegious but i have many questions as a young person that i would like answers to.
God will make blind people see, disabled people walk, bring the deceased back, enrich the soil with grain. God will bring all suffering to an end.
But I wonder.
To whom did he make these promises to? Are we expecting too much from God, or is he as they say, all giving. When will God start fulfilling these alleged promises?
We all wish for a world where no one suffers. However if no one suffers, how will one then know what true happiness is? How will we know when we are blessed?
All this talk about God has freshened my memories of a documentary i watched a while ago.
It spoke of man playing God by taking control of nature. Thousands of years ago, nomads began harvesting their food, forcing plants to grow in foreign soil. Civilizations began to grow. Humans since then have been consumed by a need to control. To control time, control growth, control other humans.
Disputes began by conflicting humans. Wars erupt. Lives are lost. The cycle continues.
I could go on. But today i neither have the time or will to continue. Funny how in a world where most tasks can be completed at astonishing speeds, we can still manage to run out of time.

personally i don't believe in God but i respect your views.
all these serious talk of yours kinda reminds of the quote "absolute power corrupts absolutely". don't ask why. it just came into my head XP.
and that last sentence of yours couldn't be more true. it's such a huge irony isn't it? i also find it ironic that our world is continuous "advancing" yet we human beings seem to have been going backwards because we've become so dependent on technology?
