Life of ojjo - Part VIII
Life without Society
For the religious folk out there, consider the difference in the following:
A person brought up in a modern society as a Christian who attends church on a weekly basis and feels strongly about their beliefs.
A person who lives deep in the Congo (African) jungle who has never heard of the Christian religion and believes in the All Knowing Crocodile God of the river.
These two people are living life at the same time, which according to popular belief is a grain of sand in the ocean floor of Gods creation. The popular belief amoung the Christians is that if you do not worship the correct God, you will not follow the righteous path to heaven and hence the spread of missionaries around the world. Surely this then means they believe that they hold knowledge that others don't and if others don't obtain this knowledge they will not follow the path of Gods love. How can this view of life be compared with their view of God who creates all things equal, has a love of all men equal and has given every person the greatest gift of all, this life?

And so, God has created man indifferent. I do not see the difference between man not exposed to the truth or man not believing the truth and following another truth - God created man with the ability to make a choice. In the absence of undeniable proof in a Christian God, there could be no such difference.
