I am very close to losing my faith in humanity

This (pagan) “holiday” season has dampened my faith in humanity. Commuting into the upper east side of Manhattan has exposed me to too much.

Firstly, I learned that “rich” people are not particularly virtuous or “good”. Typically, it is the folk with fancy clothes and “good jobs” that are the first to trample on, step over, or push me to the side to catch their train on time. This aspect of the Manhattan commute is demoralizing.

Secondly, I learned that many men lack common decency as I witnessed on Saturday night when a man unzipped his pants to urinate 1-2 feet away from my person-hood!

Many people are walking around without being checked, free to disrespect and torment other folk with no regard for the ultimate moral authority– Jesus Christ.

So, as I have witnessed some of the most depraved aspects of humanity– the primal and carnal desire to dominate and subject others to cruelty, uncleanness and filth, racism, and crimes against humanity (the ongoing Israel/Palestine) conflict– I feel I have lost faith in humanity and its ability to come together for common good.

To some degree, I feel that the human race must accept it’s own self-destruction, one that is well-deserved and appropriate. When the rapture comes and people cry for help and mercy, there will be none, because we all had a choice and we had the scriptures available to us!

I have seen too much sin and destruction, willful ignorance, and rebellion this year.

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. ¹⁸ Therefore comfort one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
