A question of God, I suppose, the question leaving me wonder whose God and which God we should turn to in times of chaos and crisis? Is it the God who has spoken to the people telling them that HIS plan is to keep the races divided insisting that one of his creations with the darker skin is less than the the ones with lighter skin? OR is it the God from whom we try to find compassion as we ask him why would any color of skin be better or worse? Is it the God who speaks to those insisting that violence, weaponry, divide is the answer to receive HIS eternal light? OR Is it the God we ask for redemption and assistance to eliminate the causes of mayhem and murder? It seems God is always the reason for our actions, positive behavior and negative reaction; but which God do we turn to?
If some say God told us that our actions against the Other keeps HIM safe and us from committing sin by first committing fatal acts against our neighbor and then listen as others demand that God has no place in HIS heart for racism, bigotry, hate and perpetrating such actions is sin…which God is correct. To Whom should be abide?
A question of God, at least for me begs a more important question and that is a question of being human. If those who find malice within the human race and believe they are God’s army to wipe it out, is that really a message from God? If those who pray to same named God but wish for peace and solidarity is their God using DOUBLE SPEAK? It seems we use God as a scapegoat as an avoidance to claim any responsibility for our actions. We will admit how powerful our God but refuse even consider how weak we have become. I believe we need to be real, there is no way there a good God and a bad God. There is however good people and very bad people denying any responsibility to make the changes necessary to live life in harmony. God is no longer the answer, because the question is about Us, as humans and out ability to do the right thing…or not!
