Double standard

The worst of kind of malpractices is double standard. Two different sets of law or policies for people of different status.

More power, more wealth and arrogance are the hardcore pillars of greed and selfishness in one's heart. The rich and oowerful have always been given a bigger say in everything (in the society) compared to the less wealthy and less fortunate. Unfortunately, this has been going since the dawn of mankind and will persist for generations to come until greed and selfishness no longer have place in one's heart.

Even the voices of poor need influential and rich people to get their attention across. It reminds me of a great humanitarian, none either than Mother Teresa whom gave up her life to serve the poor among the poorest. Her dedication and sacrifices are no doubt for others. Despite the harshest and most ridiculous crictisms mount her work, she never gives up in what she believes.

I believe that Mother Teresa's work and her love for the poor and the hungry itself is a powerful voice itself against the arrogance of wealth and power.

Any solution to wipe out greed and selfishness in the hearts of man?

None other than a simple answer: LOVE.

Atheism or Anti-God?




This is my personal response to the above youtube posting about atheism:

  1. Atheism -There in no GOD (Absence of God)
  2. Theism- There is GOD

just like:

  1. Darkness- There is no LIGHT (Absence of LIGHT)
  2. Brightness- There is LIGHT

or:

  1. The dead- There is no LIFE (Absence of LIFE)
  2. The living- There is LIFE

Why such an extensive character assassination of God? If one think that God does not exist, just say "There is no God", end of story. The effort put on creating the youtube posting above, implies to me that the author is "engaging" in a battle against the existence of God in a war against God. (I have no problem if atheists present their facts and information explaining about the inexistence of God but such a character assassination of God is most immature)

The video above sounds more like "Anti-God" to me more than explaining the facts and information that God does not exists.

God will not become "MORE GOD" if there is more people believe in Him neither God will not become "LESS GOD" if there is more people believe that there is no God. The majority does not simply just make God exists or dissappears.
