There is something going on. In the world. If one doesn't realize this, then one must have one's head in the sand. Keep it there long enough, and someone will cut it off at the neck.
Yes, I believe it is that bad. However, I also believe it is necessary and certainly not unique in the history of mankind. "Things" never remain the same forever, and in our technological world, forever doesn't last very long. There have been major cultural shifts, "turnings" if you will, through-out history. We are seeing one now. The greatest fear in these periods is not who will end up winning the illusion of control, but the mere fact that things are changing.
Who's at fault? Every single one of us and none of us. We are all people and we are consistently thus. We all spend, we all hoard; we all love, we all hate; we all strive for truth, we all lie. The only the difference is the magnitude of these things.
Is God in the middle of this? I don't know. But I believe that all is as it should be all the time and that God is in the middle of that. How we handle change, upheaval, revolution, idiots, whatever, is a function of God in us. We who believe have our instructions and we have the experience of centuries of thriving in and hiding from human constructs of governance. There is nothing to fear. There is much to pray for.
