Some people argue that the founding of Rome could not have been by twins raised by wolves, some say Arthur did not exist but as you have read I believe completely differently. I have a more traditional view on history; the historical arc of human civilization moves progressively down ward. There are however some high points, Athens and democracy, Rome and its republic, the founding of Christianity, significant scientific breakthroughs slow the spiral for a while but all in all we head down. Before we continue you must know that Christianity is a massive part of my life if that makes me bias then so be it. I will admit that people rape, and murder in the name of “God” just like those who destroyed members of other races they were, in there mind, more “superior” to. The Crusaders committed horrible crimes in the name of a god they did not truly care about as have Muslim raiders, and any others who kill in the name of a religion.
These people use religion as a tool to attack and gain their own ends. Religion is a curse a man made destructive force not at God ordained relationship with the one who created all things. If we as Christians truly love God as we say if we believe that Christ rose from the dead, then why do we act like he is dead or like he is a tool or club that we use to further our own earthly gains? If we believe that he died just to save us and to commune with us then why don’t we actually talk to him or worse why don’t we listen when he speaks. We ignore those who are widows and orphans, the drunk on the street, he drug addict, the homeless, why do we only pretend that we are doing things “oh I tithe” or “I go to church on Sunday” the true relationship is one of service and love for the creator of all things not one of what can I get from him. Intel we change this we will never be able live in peace and love our neighbor as our selves.
