He gets better.
The following is not intended to spark some lengthy religious debate just one man’s opinion which we all know is almost impossible to change.
I watched the entire Bible series on the History Channel. I came away last night with anger and hatred at not only the entire human race but with any God who would allow such pain and suffering. Lord Acton’s “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” kept running through my thoughts.
Given the lies and distortions we see today from those in power and those who seek power, one can only imagine the difficulty of people back then trying to decypher truth from the fiction imposed by powerful and to attempt to explain the inexplicable.
Even today, for some reason, many seem to cling to the concept that powerful governments are good when all of recorded history should tell us otherwise. They are unparalleled killing machines yet we constantly allow them to become more powerful.
Anyway, I was disappointed in myself as I wanted to come away from this series with more kindness in my heart and the exact opposite took place.
Just one man’s opinion and no more valid/invalid than anyone else.
So it’s only temporary?
Silly post, but not surprising.
“Silly post, but not surprising.”
Oh my goodness. I’m scared.
“Oh my goodness. I’m scared.”
Pathetic.
