Hello SoliDeoGloria,
You said:
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Most assuredly, with my compliments.
First off I don't hope or pray for any of this. I actually kind of like living and even like my familie's existence.(2 Pet. 3:3-9)
Matthew 24:34, Matthew 16:27-28.
All I have done is acknowledge the reality of the situation that has lasted since the human race began and logically realized an actual solution to the problem rather than taking the sidewalk phychiatrist appoach of handing out some happy pills for a couple of symptoms while more keep popping up due to plain ole human dispositions for the sake of looking like a good guy.
Isaiah 58:6-7; Deuteronomy 15:7-11
I love it when people are so willing to cure the world's ills and yet are appauled [sic] at the idea of changing themselves or their own backyard since they have it all figured out.
I'll take the flawed yet
willing, over the pious and self-assured any day. Inaction and indifference is neither wise nor compassionate.
How much does diplomacy actually effect the real world where all these attrocities mentioned are happening as I am typing these words?
I don't know...maybe
as much as it takes? You in a hurry to be somewhere else?
I'm willing to effort diplomacy as an alternative to war; even if your deity's "plan" may deem it necessary (or inevitable), or as some grand "learning experience".
I wonder what their response would be to the idea that some politicians or even we are discussing their real life problems.
I dunno. Perhaps, hopeful? Encouraging? Inspiring? Elevating?
"They" are already quite familiar with indifference, ignorance, and inaction. "They" are also acquainted with the timidity and fear of loss that the vast majority of people retain in preservation of their own interests (and those of their loved ones) above all other priorities.
I also love how there are some who go the the philosophical arena's to insist that there is no such thing as absolute morality...
There aren't. But morality needn't have "absolutes" to yet exist with valued ethical standards and ideals...
... and then run to the political arena's to scream about the absolute moral violations in the world.
The suggested alternative being to assert a higher ground of illumination and inspired erudition instead...in some asinine assertion that even trying to make a difference is naught but amoral vanity?
Ecclesiastes 6:12
Your commentary is noted; and as observed beforehand...to be reiterated once more...quite
useless.
You are hereby invited to retain your righteous wisdom and unhelpful philosophic musings to another thread that revels in some predestined doom and gloom.
Atheists are optimists. No doubt your perspective of inspirational revelation will aid in the preservation of both yourself, and those you care about most.
