Bring G-d Back To The Middle East
The Middle East: the area of the world touched by G-d; where Abraham, Jesus and Mohammad all walked; the birthplace of three major world religions; the place in the world where more have heard the voice of G-d than anywhere else; where walking with G-d should be second nature. Yes, this is the place where warfare, murder, hate, xenophobia, tribalism, religious intolerance, greed for land and money, oppressive governments, and crazed out radical religious groups have thrived and prospered over the centuries. Does anyone besides me see something wrong with this picture? If G-d is good, kind, compassionate, forgiving, and tolerant, then where are the people who strive to be like G-d in the Middle East? Who thinks that G-d desires strife, hate, and killing in His name? Who thinks that G-d is so narrow minded as to only want humans to follow one religion? And if that were true, what kind of person would believe that He wouldn't have made it a lot easier, obviating the need for the bestowing of death and oppression in such great numbers over the centuries? For anyone who believes in the power of G-d, look at the Middle East and I ask you, is this the power of G-d that you believe in?
