Conspiracy Theories

Conspiracy theories are just the result of people hoping they can explain, humanize and scapegoat bad things that happen…hoping they can create a Utopia while still dwelling on this earth. The truth and reality is: Evil and fear are at work in the world and in the hearts of men/women of all institutions, races, religions, etc.; not just the government vs. the anarchists vs. the pacifists vs. science vs. faith vs. the left vs. the right, etc. There aren’t as many conspiracies as you hope, just plenty of people making bad decisions in different groups, and other people trying to figure out the best course of action based on limited knowledge and limited understanding and a limited ability to cooperate with others. The one thing we can do is, without worrying about conspiracies, seek to be the change we wish to see in the world through Peace and Faith…not fear mongering and scapegoating. We have to keep our hope in the One who is above all of these human limitations (because human beings will never accomplish a Utopian society) only God can do that if you believe in God; If you don’t believe in God, then I don’t know how to inspire you. Either way, Believers and even unbelievers have to have Hope in the One or the hopeful something/someplace beyond, and for Christians the one who was willing to die for, the human condition, so we can rise up when bad things happen to good people. And when we can’t explain all the suffering in the world, we can still choose to do Good because we know this world is not the end of the story, nor the end of the possibilities of an experience beyond the human limitations we are currently under.
