Leave God out of it

The world is turning weird. We think we can all agree on that. When random dudes are driving people into their deaths and then jumping out and stabbing people for no apparent reason except that their chosen God wanted them to do that, we have some weird times. Death in the name of God is something that keeps getting repeated in history. In fact, America was built on Christopher Columbus killing Natives because that's what Christianity was to him. God wanted him to do it. Sounds really convenient when your goal is to steal land. Let's just call a spade a spade and realize that God had nothing to do with that one bro. 

Anyone that thinks that they know God and what God wants is at odds with being human. Only God himself or herself can tell us what to do. Humans aren't God. In fact, being human means that you are humbled by your humanity. God notwithstanding, Humans are united. Whether you want to admit it or not, we are all very similar beings. Why are we being divided and killed because people keep making up what they think God is? It's turned into a multi-billion dollar industry (insert faith based churches and other institutions) and has created so much destruction that it actually makes us sick to our stomachs.

What we do know is that in this world, the actual planet is suffering because of man-made pollution and destruction. Let's all start with that first before we go into what God wants us to do. No one knows that because God doesn't live on Earth - we do.

So go out, get humbled by your humanity and leave God out of it. The planet needs us to be better so our kids can have a better life or better yet, a freaking chance of living at all.
