Clarence,
With all my respect for you and for every body who believes in the Bible and
in the God idea, I MUST write my critics about your mail :
1. I don't understand why people think that the words in the Bible are the
words from God. If God really wrote that book, I am sorry, but I can't
believe in a God who kills people to save others. Just look at the Bible
Exodus 6, Exodus 7, Exodus 8, the plagues of Egipt. There is no
one human more important than others, so why kill the ones
who don't beleive in the Christian God ? Is it just ?
2. I think you are going a little bit far from my point of view. The
problems we are experiencing in the earth are not created by the "evil
forces" as you say. I think, from my personal point of view, that those
problems are created by the "invisible hand" of the over-population of
the world. Years ago, some social scientific made an experiment : he put
different species in an individual and separate ambients for each one of
the tested ones. He observed that when the population of animals in each
specie was too high, (I mean over-population) the animals started killing
each other until they got to a "normal" population status. That is what
is happening to humans right now, the over-population of the world causes
hunger, and poberty, this fenomena indirectly causes violence. This
violence is reflected in the problems we are dealing with. The natural
resources are insufficient to satisfy the demand for all the people
living in the earth right now; so we start to kill each other in
different ways just by the same way the animals do.
So, the solution is not to believe in Jesus and to wait for him, because
it is probably that he will never come; the solution is reduce the
over-population, but not by killing people, just controlling natal index
wich is bigger every year. But this is not the ONLY solution, there are
too many, people need education, food, but the last thing they need is a
religion making prohibitions and hopes that maybe don't exist at all.
This is MY PERSONAL and VERY PERSONAL opinion about your mail, please answer
it, I would like to discuss it with some one who probably will be disagree
with me.
