World emphazises in money, we are converting like robots, no one cares about others, people tend to be more selfish because they are aparting from GOD.

Because we are constantly bombarded with messages that we NEED this that and the other new thing or we are incomplete as human beings and not worthy of anyone's love.

it depends on how much people are willing to sacrife for world peace. and i don't mean lives. i mean putting away petty differnce over religon, land, and money. if we learn to respect others differnces and boundries may be. but in today's world world peace seems impossible. sorry

Hey ! thats an interesting observation.\nMy friend,\nEvery coin has two sides,  we are children of God, so Goodness always resides in our heart but the worldly feelings of Ego, competition, greed destroy our otherwise pure hearts.\n\nIts true that we need to be humans first then any thing else.

I cannot agree more, we are, since the beginning of time, have been sinning against God the Father.  Its how we are made.  With our own free will.  The self is always fighting for supremacy than be subjected to a higher one, in this case, the laws and guidelines in life found in the Bible.  It is really a difficult struggle and only if one surrenders himself to the will of God can he win over selfish desires and sins to a life leading to God.

This is the basis of hypocrisy . It enables them to lead the life of a materialist while ignoring the more inconvenient teachings of Jesus Christ

Nope, not just you.  People are getting crazy!  It terrifies me to see these scary, force-feeding, frenzied christians (generally at their most scary when evangelising), but you've just got to remember that that was never what God wanted and seek a personal relationship with him and your saviour Jesus Christ - the people that do it wrong don't have to be the be all and end all - be your own Christian!

Why does everybody blame Walmart.  Americans are the greediest people on the planet.  We use 3/4th of the worlds resources.  As greedy individuals we are also selfish.  If one is generous and cares for the welfare of others as one is instructed to do in the Bible, one is given the name "bleeding heart liberal," from the very people who profess to be so keen on moral values.  I just wonder where those values are coming from.  I'm poor myself but I contribute part of my money every month to Feed the Poor because I believe in karma.

I think church leaders get a little egotistical. Thinking that they are 'higher up' and therefore know exactly what God wants. But end up losing track, and veering others off track too. We are mindless sheep at times. With the a blind shepard, disaster strikes.

It was spoken about people who love money more than god. For them the money comes between them and God. It's fine to have riches on earth as long as they are not your first love.

I agree with you. Think of how many millions would live full lives without religious problems placed on them. Think of how many people will suddenly have a high quality of life since they are no longer sending their hard earned money to mega-church bank-accounts. The issue is so clear to me. Right my brother right on. The world could live in such perfect harmony. Right and wrong could be the new laws to follow, withouth the intervention of mythical persons watching over you waiting to punish you for not accepting them as the truth.

I know how you feel. I am an atheist with family who are superchristians. I have faded away from them. It is sad in a way but you cannot be happy being around people who think that they are better than you and are cooly polite. I don't need this kind of family. Life is too short to spend any part of it being unhappy when you don't have to.

Maybe its because you´re not a selfish like some people. If you´re capable to share your things (material or not) with the others, consider yourself a blessed man!!!\nIn a world as we are living, people do not value who have this kind of attitude.\nAnd sometimes we feel a little bit confused being so different ..... don´t running after money, caring about people and seeing what´s really matter .....\nBeauty, money, cars, jewels, etc, it all passes by ...... our values, friendship, love, knowledge are forever!!!

I agree, the people of this world have forgotten that God wants us to LOVE one another. No matter what religion or race. We all came from the same place. Our world is really a mess. I guess all we can do is Pray for things to get better. GOD BLESS YOU, for caring..

God lets people make choices, this allows us to be human and not robots.  Ultimately, some people will make the wrong choices.

Trying to survive.... it's not easy. Since we as humans still can't get along without screwing everthing up... the road ahead will only get worse before it gets better. We better be glad that GOD is still on our side.

I agree with you.  The world has come to a place where selfishness and "looking out for number 1" is highly encouraged, where caring about others, or putting someone else first, is totally denounced.  I think, overall, people don't want to experience even the least bit of discomfort these days, so they are constantly trying to make themselves happy, comfortable, entertained, etc.\n\nI have never felt more fulfilled in life then when I volunteer to help others.  You could say I'm really doing it for me, to feel good, but I don't think it's selfish, even if it is for me, because there are pleanty of other things I could be doing "for me" than helping other people.  I volunteer at a counsiling center, and at a half-way house.  It's awesome!!!
