It’s reasonable to assume, the worst is yet to come.

OR; things are bad but they could be worse.

The above is not the premise of the article. Instead it bases its objection to the outcomes of mans competitive nature on a misconstrued Darwinian “theory” of evolution.

Misconstrued if argued from a Christian belief perspective, since it includes the hand of God in human outcomes.

Best to leave God out of the argument, when exposing the folly of the history of man.

Yes. Why blame God, in whom a growing number of these "aggressive monsters" don't believe. If the monsters just stuck to the Ten Commandments they wouldn't be monsters

Answer- The Republic's first chapter is a discussion between two old (and great) men. Read it if you feel down.

In the book of Joshua God orders Joshua to commit genocide on the Canaanites. God slaughters the innocent first born of the Egyptians. In the New Testament God condemns his own son to a most uncomfortable and torturous death. If God is the God in the Bible he is a very nasty individual. Although some humans are nasty I think most of them are kinder and more loving than the God of the Bible.

Yes, wouldn’t it be much better if there is no God.

For a start we could all do whatever we like – or at least whatever we can get away with, with a clear conscience. Any talk of objective right and wrong is meaningless in a godless universe. So even a rapist or a murderer is innocent of wrongdoing!

Yes, if we have just happened to evolve from the primordial slime then it doesn’t matter what we do as there is nothing that we are supposed to do.

Whatever state the world is in is just as “good” or “bad” as any other. For sure people may have preferences about how things should be, but no one has to care about anyone else’s preferences. Just do whatever you like and tell any whingers to shut up!

In a godless universe no one is responsible to anyone else for anything. Talk about being free!

Go for it Peter!!

No, that's incorrect. It's not God that got it wrong but mankind! The unified field theory explains, that everything in the universe is energy. And much of it as transformed energy including us, that is a part of that energy.

As a being, God is unimaginable massively monumental energy. Energy that is able to think, rationalise in pure unemotive logic and love.

And we are a part of that energy as divine sparks that is the life force or divine spark in each and everyone of us!

"In", meaning inside, not an outside lookalike in miniature!

But rather, as if we were but an atom in a water molecule in a vast body of water The body of water, an allegorical representation of the image and the "in', an allegorical representation of the "in" that is mankind!

And not the simplistic explanation of most organised "religions"!
