THERE IS NO GOD!
And therefore there is no devil. English=very modern language, and yet it stands...remarkable! god=good. devil=evil. VERY VERY VERY SIMPLE... personification. As Joseph Campbell remarked, Christianity was the first reiligion to take myth and claim it as fact/truth. The purpose of mythology is to teach: just as Jesus's parables. WE ARE IT! "so let your light shine".

im proud to b in the crew
and while it was a somewhat hard to believe read in the sense that how can all of that b true it was right on point and yes prayer is necessary but some effort is also needed and i couldnt agree more with helping to get people together to stop buying all this unnecessary garbage but some of their minds are so caught up in materialism its hard to envision them ever being humbled and realizing how pointless their penchants for all that nonsense is but lets hope that people can step back for jus one second and realize that this world is basically playing them and learn to fight for what is right...God bless my friend

This is why we are here!
We are not only learning how to love on the individual level but on the societal level as well. Incidentally, we suck at loving on the societal level. Part of loving is wise stewardship. Truthfully, we know what needs to be done and have the ability to do it. What we have difficulty in is applying what we know. How do we make the transition from the theoretical/philosophical to the practical?

Real Solutions are needed.
You write with passion and conviction. While there is too much focus on one-size-fits-all-solutions, there is a commonality to humanity that lends itself to fundamental problem solving guidelines. As humans, we all have similar needs and our experiences in daily living presents similar difficulties. There is not enough human resources to customize solutions to fit each of six billion different situations. So, it is necessary to cover the problems that are shared by the majority of humanity, and let the individuals customize the rest. They can do a better job of that part of the solution, anyway. I still hold out hope for the world. Something tells me you do, too. Keep the faith.
