I am pretty sure this politically incorrect point should be considered here and maybe even explored as at least one of the possible causes of our present conditions to some extent.
I think it was Chesterton that said something to the effect that when we humans stop believing in God we don't start to believe in nothing. We start to believe in anything.
I am thinking that Chesterton may have meant that we humans tend to take something else as our god.
Certainly acting as if you believe in God is frowned on these days sending many people in search for something in which to believe.
There are many good folks doing their best under the circumstances who have chosen to believe in money. Others have chosen health, youth, power, strength, music, technology, innovation, creativity, sex, winning, competition, energy, environment, knowledge, thinness, fatness, looks, and even global warming as their god to worship out in the open.
With so many people worshiping at so many diversified alters it is likely an impossible task to ever expect to bring them together enough just to find a common ground in which to communicate.
The worse part about our situation is that no one is trying to bring anyone together. We just keep using our creativity, our innovation and our resources to build more and different politically correct alters at which to worship.
I guess that leaves the question; How's that working so far?
NOTE: This is a think piece.
Have a good IDea today,
