I've got some questions.

I've got some questions. What has happened to the world? We fight against the mere idea of an ever-loving, and just God, and focus instead on what can be done for ourselves. Do you have an unwanted baby inside of you? No biggie, just throw their life away. You have terminal cancer, since you are clearly not worth anything in our society, take this pill, and die anytime you want to. It would be brave and courageous. Boys and girls have bad days? Let's call them all purple penguins. That will clearly resolve issues that kids have been facing for centuries, their parents just helped them get through it, helped them grow up, they didn't make up some special name, to make them always feel special. Our society really ought to know that if everyone is special, then no one is. Do you want to be a man? Sure, we can do that! Heck, if you come back as a "female", and hit women in the face, we'll call you a pioneer, and a hero! Our society is BROKEN. If the world revolves around us, then sure all of this makes sense. If we came from nothing, then we are inherently worth nothing. Why not throw ourselves away when we have struggles? Why shouldn't we make up be down, and down be up? It's all about us! Clearly, we have no other purpose in life, and life has no value. If life had value, we would not kill babies in the womb. We wouldn't praise people for committing suicide. We would offer practical solutions, and not try to please everyone, while truly pleasing no one. However, we didn't come from nothing. We came from an ever-loving God, and because of that, we have inherent value, our lives have meaning and purpose! We can't just choose to take our own lives, or even worse, take away defenseless lives, simply because they are inconvenient. Yet, in our world, the rallying cry is, "God is dead"! We have been enlightened, and no longer need religion, for we can see that the universe came from the big bang, when everything exploded from nothing, and spontaneously positioned all the planets in perfect positioning from each other, and Earth perfectly situated to create life. From these single-celled organisms that this sun created, came all types of animals, and somehow, eventually, it created free-thinking human beings, with a brain completely unlike anything else on the planet, things with a conscience. If we came from lower life forms, then our brain should follow primal impulse. We should do as nature does, however, in many cases, when people act like animals, we're shocked, even astounded. Why do we act like a fish out of water, when faced with these atrocities? We do this, because we were not made from this world, this is simply the beginning, we have free will, and thought unlike the animals, because we were made for greater. Still our society pounds religion into the ground, only because it doesn't fit their molded view of how the world should work, how it should revolve around self. We are a broken people. We can't fix ourselves. However, we can do one thing. Give it up to our maker, confess our brokenness, and let him fix us. We can be made whole again, but don't listen to me, I'm too blinded, by my white male privilege, and have clearly never faced any adversity. As our society is enlightened and free of intolerance, it glares upon bigots. What makes a bigot in this world? Someone who dares to speak out against something that violates their beliefs, someone with a backbone. Somehow, this tolerance doesn't quite stretch out to everyone.
