| Apocolyptic Apathy
At this moment there are two factions amongst good natured people here in America. People are progressive or otherwise. Right now it is dire for the progressive to see society into the new millenium. *cough* fart*. Seriously. Anyhow, there's a large group of intelligent and good people who believe that the world is too far gone. They are Christians of newer denominations (ie New Hope) which believe we are living the final days. Rapture and all that. They also believe that they are saved, no strings attached.
What bothers me, is the total apathy they are currently displaying towards their communities welfare. The good things about america rely, in part, on the young and virtous who gravitate toward peacful religion. Ten years ago, Christian youth groups were focused on helping people in thier communities. Now, they are more for recruiting. The local New Hope youth definitly seems desparate to save all they can before some quickly approaching deadline. They bring 'em in a save them and that's it. No good deeds, Food drives, nothing. In other words, Christains have thrown in the towel. Evil has prevailed and it's time for them to go to heaven while God takes care of business. Obviously I'm not talking about the 'Christians' who are engaged in a religious war with Muslims. And I'm not talking about the 'Christains' who feel they are on the good side of some 'cultural war'. I'm talking about the Christains all around us that do not see anyone acting on god's will as they understand it, and are resigned.
Meanwhile, opportunities to save ourselves flash by and they wait. Oblivious while we let villians rule the kingdom. Thoughts? |
