The Wrong God

The received religious orthodoxy of the present day is "It's all good," a kind of liberal soft-nihilism indistinguishable from "It doesn't matter."  It's motivated by political expediency-- the powers don't want religious ideologies and religious conflict hampering the realization of their agendas (which could only tenuously be described as religious).

I think I comprehend why they must do this and sympathize to an extent-- except that their agendas are catastrophic, ecocidal-- just war by other means; a war everyone loses--'mutually assured destruction'.

Inasmuch as a religion's conception of God epitomizes a worldview, a civilization, a culture, its ethos, values, ideas, way of life, the predominant Gods (the atheist-materialist one, too) are the wrong God-- all hopeless, all catastrophic.  There is a right God, though.  And do we need him now.
