Would you agree with this statement about God and people?

We humans can't get anything right... look at our economy, our environment, the levels of crime and depravity, domination and manipulation that people are capable of. If there is a God and he isn't HERE literally telling us how it is, then we as a race have gotten the concept of "what God is" so messed up that it's really not worth considering.

    The idea that you would come to the conclusion to not even consider G_d is no surprise knowing the state that man is in. The reality that persists in the circus called the "church" is even worse saying they supposedly know the truth and constantly speak error and prolong the ignorance. YHVH said that the nations would be in awe of us as a people when we followed his ways and walked according to his ordinance. He said that they would bless the G_d that gave his people these laws to live by. We have neither tried to follow his ways or cared to and every time G_d's people failed to listen to YHVH's voice and obey him they would be destroyed and eventually scattered. I see no reason to believe this won't happen again and so very soon. If Yeshua is the Messiah of Y'HoVAh as I and many believe then he has made atonement for the flesh and we have hope in salvation if we believe and obey to the end.

    If G_d in the past looked kindly on us with tender mercy it was because we where ignorant of him, now we know of him and even say we believe in him but we do not follow him or we would walk as he does and know him.

    Well when I read this I have to ask why don't you think humans get anything right? Why haven't we gotten the concept of god right? And why is not worth considering? Right now all I see is well general observations that you may be right or wrong upon however to agree upon a statement I need to understand the why and how your coming to these conclusions in order for myself to really agree with a statement i need to know arguments behind it otherwise its the same as the stereotypical homeless guy with a world is about to end sign I ask why. However, I disagree with a statement because I don't see the progress of civilization as a progress of good and wrong but rather a collection interdependent events that results in society moving in one way or another. Also, I disagree about your God statement there is really no religion that god is here telling us what to do where if you said people use a deity as an excuse for there actions I would agree with you. Finally, God or deity is always worth considering because hey its not like anyone has comeback to life to say otherwise no?? well anyways pce.

    People choose the way they think are good. Hitler became leader because he told countless lies for manipulation and hid all of his camps from every country so they would not interfere. People learn from there mistakes and every generation is a new challenge to overcome.

    I agree with you. But Christians (including myself) think that Christ dignified our nature through becoming flesh. He guided us along the right path. And the Holy Spirit continues to guide us along the right path. We cannot do anything without God.

    The problem is not our view of God, it's that we're not following Him hence all the crap you listed above.
