What if tomorrow for no particular reason the world starts to straiten itself out? Big businesses stop polluting and start massive campaign to clean the earth, car manufacturers change all their cars to electric until they can find a cleaner fuel, politicians fess-up to all there various crimes, and people in general just start to be nicer and act better. Wars stop. Millionaires feed the hungry. Earth simply becomes an idyllic place. But on the same day all organized religion falls and all people stop believing or caring about any spiritual deity. There’s no praying, no singing of hymns, no church services, or anything else that has to do with anything religious.
Now before I you start typing please keep in mind I’m not trying to say that these things are cause and effect, and if that’s the way you feel that’s okay, but it’s not what this post is about. Also keep in mind it’s a hypothetical situation, and as I’m sure you have your own opinions about what the world would really be like if all religions fell, again this post isn’t about that.
Okay. Here’s the question: If the world became a wonderful place with no crime, pollution, or hunger but everyone began to forget about god and all religious things, would god be mad? Would god be mad enough to take it all away and go all biblical on us (plagues, famine, hoards of locusts,…)? The true question would then be, how much does god want prayer and worship? Is god being praised more important than the overall health of Earth and humanity?
