What's injustice? A girl in Saudi Arabia was raped by a man, then the court ruled her guilty and sentenced her with 200 lashes. Sounds just like a story in the bible, eh?
What's unfair? That the victims of global warming (almost all caused by industrialized countries) are the very countries which can least defend against them. A cyclone devastated Bangladesh, and more than 3,000 people are already dead. What have they done to contribute to global warming? Nothing...
What's profane? After YouTube, there's now YouPorn, with 15 million viewers, higher than CNN and Weather.com .
Does this seem like the Kingdom of God is here?
And what's indifference? Scientists' final warning to HUMANITY: If we don't do anything serious in the next few years about global warming, be prepared for the worst consequences... Katrina and the flood in Bangladesh will be but just the tip of an iceberg... Yet people can still be indifferent even though this affects each and every one.
Calling ourselves "Christian", how can we become satisfied, how can we be so narrow-minded? Let's get past the petty and the touchy-feely, and let's start thirsting for some justice.
How about just a tiny glimpse of heaven on Earth?
