People, crazed 🤪 with love, jealousy, envy, lust, sensuality -many of which end up in institutions; DO YOU BELIEVE THEY ARE THAT FAR OFF OR OUT OF TOUCH WITH A SOCIETY LARGELY VOID OF GOD? There are many who would like to think so. Any society or group essentially void of GOD by choice, is either insane, or not far off from being so; and these are essentially the 2 groups which comprise that class! YOU CANNOT HAVE SANITY, NOR DECENCY [FOR LONG] WITHOUT GOD! OH, SURE, WITH THE APPEARANCE OF SAFETY, AND BOUNTY, AND A SPRINKLE OF GODLINESS FACTORED IN, A SOCIETY APPEARS SOMEWHAT CIVIL AND IN CONTROL But look at man’s history in both of these scenarios;

1) A society which has reached a point of safety and bounty which has no godliness in them. Orgies, drunkenness, murderous [if only in their minds] , envious, adulterous… once GOD has been thoroughly divorced from them;

2) A society which has experienced a resource-base far lower than that which can sustain but a fraction. Even in cases where people (presumably) have religion, many will tear each other to pieces to survive. Then there are those who will still feel the need to thrive under such circumstances. Now just imagine a group more-or-less void of GOD! 🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️

At this very moment [Sunday morning], in my little town, numerous people are engaging in sex. Many of which are strictly of a sensual nature; many of which have become twisted and distorted; many of which violate their commitment to another; many of which will have lasting [negative] consequences when in fact the intent was short-lived or strictly pleasurable, and on and on… I have been there! I look back now, somewhat worse for wear, perhaps somewhat wiser, certainly less enamored via biological, cultural, as well as trauma-based drives. In essence, for many, many decades, I WAS A SLAVE! A person who has managed to come out the other side of something, in certain ways has a decided advantage over those not so fortunate, and those who will never know… 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷‍♂️ It’s odd to me, after being the 🐘 in the living room for so long, sitting back and watching the presumably functional, more acceptable members of a society now being the 🐘 in the middle of the room – The difference between them and people such as myself is too fold*:

1) The climate has changed and certain things have become more acceptable**;

2) Because of their status or stature their behavior has become more camouflaged*.

Man has the ability to act maliciously -and often does so! SCARY!

Thank GOD for decreasing testosterone levels!

Undeniably, the more one follows GOD’S teachings in the Bible, the less of a certain type of negative repercussions one is apt to encounter; while more of a certain type of negative repercussions one IS apt to encounter:

•sexual issues for example are essentially eliminated.

•while issues along the lines of moral, ethical, religious, spiritual appear to be enflamed. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️

*Any idea how many mornings I awoke from various sexcapades; and how bad I felt?

** But not from where I’m sitting having been through it all! Morality from God’s perspective never changes; but from man’s it is ever changing.
