And this confidence in man comes from his track record?
In recent times we had two nuclear powered nations facing off in what could have resulted in an horrific nuclear exchange....and you have confidence in these men? Seriously?
The only reason that man is exploring the universe looking for other planets is because he is already well on the way to ruining this one. He wants somewhere to escape to when it all goes pear shaped. All it takes is two ego driven political leaders to push each other over the edge. We have no say...so who will stop it?
I don't just 'believe' that the world is rotten...I KNOW it is. There is not a single governmental system run by humans that is not corrupt. Some are just better at hiding it is all. And some people swallow the propaganda like cool-ade. Faith in man will always lead to disappointment.
I am no part of the world because Jesus taught us to have as little to do with it as possible. I am glad to be an alien in this world, because if I were part of it, I would be ashamed of myself. I loathe it and will rejoice at its passing. I long for the new world to come. That is where my heart is and that is where my God is. Your gods may lead you elsewhere.
I believe we will soon see whose gods are telling the truth.
