Faith diminishing in the world

Faith. At the core of all the dynamic teachings, grand multi-translated prose, establishments of principles and laws, and prophecies fulfilled and unfulfilled that is provided by Scripture, there is but a single essential idea which thereby its acceptance or rejection separates the mere reader and the believer. Shall we, by all of our understanding and despite all of which we cannot understand, have faith? Certainly ritual is in vain and religion a miseducation in action where these tools are not driven by an immovable belief that we are of our Creator, that He is good and that by accepting our natural union with Him we inherently share in one love and achieve paradise for our world family.

The human condition is such that the most empowering act that we can perform can take all of our power to accomplish. Moreover, from an observance of Humankind’s history as reflected by Scripture and history books, our ancestors lived in a more receptive world, where spirituality is concerned. Not only were there more clearly evident miraculous wonders to behold in ancient times, but civilization had not yet, depending upon perspective, evolved or degenerated to the point where people find it even easier to be faithless. Also, our progress in sciences help us believe that we can rationalize and defend faithlessness. Darwin’s Theory and other scientific principles can arguably be said to contradict the existence of a world created by a divine being. Furthermore, we have created other things which are putatively used to a great benefit for our lives which do not require the rigor that faith does for some.

Where one has not developed a predisposition to faithlessness simply because of the changing ways of the world or because of intellectual inclinations which suppose that faith is ultimately futile, a perception of the world as forsaken by any feasible higher power is another significant invitation to abandon faith. With so many catastrophic “natural” disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, and hurricanes, and other tragedies that Humankind ordinarily experience, to this class of nonbelievers there can either be no Creator or not a very kind one that He would cause or allow such suffering. However they come to it, the trend of faithless can be seen to be increasing and although we can easily determine many of the causants, not many clear or effective means to turn the tide for faith are arising as effortlessly.
