What does Christianity have to offer us as individuals?

 

Part II of II

...We choose to create an environment of either looking out for ourselves or looking out for each other, loving one another.

 

 

If one senses the essence of one’s self to be outside of the Causative Force (as religions say: a Causative Force is all present except She does not include the universe within Her), then your desires and needs become more important than the good of the whole.

 

With this perception, we create an atmosphere of refusing to acknowledge the significance of other individuals.

 

This leads to an atmosphere where everybody is out for themselves. Life is short.

 

Grab what you can. Step on the next fellow to get what you want.

 

The smaller one perceives the Causative Force to be, the more acute this type of atmosphere becomes.

 

A perception of the Causative Force being so  small She does not exist, atheism, elevates a self serving perception to its ultimate.

 

Taking another leap of size, the Causative Force is bigger than the universe but not big enough to include the universe, classical/traditional theisms, reduces the rationale for self serving actions even more.

 

On the other hand, by loving one another, what we are really doing is recognizing the significance of the individual.

 

But this cannot be so unless we go beyond this eternity.

 

This idea cannot be so unless we affect eternity itself or, to put it another way, affect the Causative Force.

 

The most dynamic means of directly affecting the Causative Force would exist if we were located within

 

Her, if all our actions remained within Her for eternity.
