Ralstins Words

The other day I was watching the movie “Kingdom of Heaven;” it is an interesting movie. One of the main things that annoyed me was the templars in the movie. They loved to kill the Muslims and they treated them like dirt. They constantly want to go to war with them. When they were talking about it in front of the king, they said, “God wills it.” It is so amazing what has been done according to the “will of God”: the slaughtering of people because of a different faith during the crusades was the “will of God”. The civil war was the “will of God”. Some even says that 9/11 was “Gods will.” So many things have been attributed to “Gods will” that is completely contrary to the nature of God that the Christians teach. However, when it suits there purpose it becomes Gods will. So here is the question, what is really Gods will?

How does know the will of God? It is kind of amazing that the will of God becomes some thing that some one wants to do. It is kind of a way for Christian to justify their actions. So here is a question: is it Gods will for evil stuff to happen? And if so how does that explain the verse that states, “no evil can come from God.” (Job 34:12) Is it possible that the will of God is for humanity to live in harmony with one another? Could God’s will be a world where mankind not longer kills or hurts one another. Is it possible that this is what he wants instead of death and pain? I think that saying it is God’s will done so we have someone to blame when bad things happen. Could it be that we call it God’s will to make us feel less guilty about our own evil actions. Maybe we trick ourselves into thinking that since it was God who told us to do it then we are really not that guilty or responsible. However, you are responsible for your actions always, not matter what the situation; you always have a choice. Sometimes our actions done in the name of God can benefit people, and sometimes they hurt people as well.

So does God cause war and other harmful, evil actions? No, he does not. Does he cause evil to happen to people? No, he does not. Shit happens; get over it. God made man with a free will man, therefore chose to allow evil in to the world. When man allowed evil in the world. When man allowed evil in the world it caused all men to have a evil nature, causing evil things to happen to good people. (People who help mankind and do not harm) Mankind says that it is “God’s will” to justify ourselves and our horrible deeds. Any one who says killing is “Gods will” needs to be shot. The will of God is for mankind to live in peace and harmony, not slaughter each other.
