Internet Business 4 All

When mankind’s brain first evolved to some semblance of intelligence, what we did with it was learn how to make stuff.

We learned how to make tools, and to use those tools to create useful things, buildings, ploughs for agriculture, and libraries to store and share the collective knowledge (Eventually).

Given that mankind were all builders and farmers…creators of things, it is of little wonder that when trying to make sense of "Creation", everyone truly believed that to create something, there must be a creator.

When the early builders decided to build a town, the first thing they built, before a bakery, before a house, before all….was a church, a place to recognise what they saw as the best maker of stuff ever heard of, this is why churches are the oldest buildings in any given settlement.

Most people these days, and for the last 3 generations really, have careers or jobs that produce…..nothing.

How many people work in call centres, with no product at the end of their working days, except for the movement of money, from one place to another?

How many in marketing and advertising, selling "Airtime" or "Space" with no tangible results, except the rise in sales of a given product, generally a product that is not essential to your life, because such products need no advertisment, and again, the shift in money.

How many in banking….where money is quite literally created from nothing, and sold to our governments with attached debt, that our children’s children will be paying off…with no tangible beneficial….solid product at the end?

Is it all that hard to understand, that when it comes to faith, people have none….not in a God, not in each other, not in a society which produces nothing but greed and the promotion of self above all?

Put yourself back a few hundred years…standing in a field…looking at creation…with your nature screaming to build…to make…to invest in society.

Would it be all that hard to see the only explanation of creation…was a creator…a God….the best damn builder of stuff in all of time?

Peoples lives these days are all about a number on a balance sheet…why should they see God as anything different….a social security number….a statistic….something requiring quantification.

Other people are merely a profit or a loss….and there is no mileage in faith….of any description.

Your thoughts on this subject please.

Please include your personal beliefs, and your occupation.

Thanks
BR Tiger fan, you are of course quite correct.

The fact that qxz thinks I am "Pushing" anything at all, just indicates that people do not even have the inclination to read a couple of paragraphs to the end, much less form a valid opinion on the content.

If you read my question carefully, it soon becomes apparent that I have not postulated my own opinion on God…either way…I merely write what crosses my mind.
F. My view is quite pessimistic, I agree….but I see little to give me hope.
Capri7. You say there is too much to read, but you have obviously read it anyway…thankyou for your time, and you are absolutely right on your point that self is above all.
pencilnbrush. A remarkable, well thought out, and well phrased response….thankyou so much, I find validity and truth in many of your points.
And you have a great day too
Gis. Here in England, especially in the wilder countryside…churches are the first built buildings in almost every case…and are the only buildings left standing from communities 600 years old or more.
Also…all please take note…I have not mentioned religion in any of this…Religion has about as much to do with God as Kojak has to do with hair gel.
℮Җ℮. All the proof you need will be found right here in Y/A…..take a tour of R+S and you tell me, who is the majority here?
Dendronbat Crocoduck. My sentiments exactly.
qxz. You are correct, I should take my own advice and read more accurately.

We all make mistakes, it is just important that we apologise for them sincerely.

You have my sincere apology

even if i could step back three hundred years and view as you say…. i still wont believe that there is a creator. i create almost daily. im many things… im an artist, a salesman, and i have income properties that i work on.
so i do know all about creating something from nothing. i do know about beauty. i do know what it means to break your back all day in a yard and house and sit back at the end of it and look at what you have made much better and prettier. and i know about having a job where nothing is really created.
but i dont think what you stated is all the reasons why there is a decline in belief. i think there is a decline for the same reason there was one for me……
i got tired of waiting. i got tired of waiting for god to help me. i got tired of being on my knees praying for things to get better.
so i stood up one day…and said…. ill do it myself.
i know that there isnt a god that created all this… if there is… i dont really think he is too concerned with us. common sense tells me that. when i look at the world…watch the tv… (for as long as i can take it)… i see people doing terrible things to each other… terrible things that me…as an atheist… could never even think of doing!
but yet it continues….
starvation….war…. murder…rape….robberies…. genocide……
…. i refuse to see why god will step up back when we were soooo uneducated as a race but will not step up to the plate when it could do a real good to the race!…..
i watch how people treat each other…and i know there isnt a god.
the god i grew up knowing….was suppose to stop this sort of thing!
but he/she doesnt.
thats why i know im on my own…and im ok with that. doesnt mean i can do violent vicious things to my fellow man or woman, doesnt mean that i wont continue to be a better man to the people in my life.
the world doesnt need a god… people have proven belief doesnt give you better morals
the people on this planet need to step up to the plate and realize that its only us…. and that we all need to be better to each other….we all need to try harder….we all need to quit praying for some one to fix what we broke for us…and quit blaming a devil for making us do all that are wrong in our lives
one thing is true…. it is your choice……
you can be a good person…… or a crappy person….its is up to you

hope you have a great day tho!
