Why is there too much of wickedness in the world today?

There really isn't 'more' now than there was. Just in this day and age because of instant news access 24/7 we get to see it and are more open about it is all.  Think about it... the roman empire was very 'wicked' indeed from what we know about them.  In our times it's just a little bit more visable and accessable than it was.  And we now will talk openly about some things that used to taboo.

The world is in chaos because people won't mind their own business and let others live within their own beliefs. People need to stop imposing their religious/cultural beliefs on others.\nThere are a lot of people who don't want peace, and others who are rich because of poverty, so not everyone wants the same thing.

i think it would be much worse coz there will be no guidance on how people should behave... we will be like those caveman years again always killing each other... religion today is much more like business but the true essence of religion is how to make people better

All people, christians and non-christians grow old and die and many die from unforeseen circumstances. The reason bad things happen to anyone, is because of God's enemy, Satan the devil. He challenged God's right to rule over the earth and said that humans do not need God and could rule themselves independently without God's help. God is answering Satans challenge by allowing man to try to live without his interference. Satan also said that humans would discontinue serving God if he( Satan and his demons)) were allowed to cause them pain and suffering. There have been and still are many who are proving Satan to be a liar, who love and serve God faithfully, despite whatever persecution Satan brings upon them.\nWhat has been the result of man ruling man without God intervening? Suffering and injustice, wars, crime and hatred. \nGod has promised to soon rid the earth of all those things and to destroy Satan and all who follow him. Satan will lose the challenge and be proved a liar. By remaining faithful to the end, we show that we are on God's side and prefer his rule over man's.  \nWe need a righteous ruler who will be just and merciful. Human rulers can do nothing for us. (Psalm 146:3)\nLook what Psalms 37:9-11 promises us--" For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace." \nSoon the meek who inherit this earth will be under one government that will last forever. (See Daniel 2:44) No more will we have to put up with imperfect human rulers who can never bring an end to injustice, crime, terrorism or death itself. God's government will do all that and more.

People today suck ...too wrapped up in there own selfish lives to give a crap nowadays.\nBack in the day it was all peace, love and harmony and people cared for one another.\nAnd the kids have it so bad ...they could never relate to it anyway.

God is not this vicious being that punishes people by casting them into Hell for their sins. That is a made up tale by religious that wanted to scare the crap out of people into submission. The only Hell that exists is in your concsious when you pass over. Every one of God's children are given the opportunity to go Heaven (or the Light, whatever you want to call it) as long as they can see the errors that they made while on Earth..yes, this even includes some really horrible people (Manson,Hitler). Everyone has a shot at redemption. If people choose not see acknowledge their misdeeds and refuse to go with God, then they are left wandering about in their own self made dillusions and bitterness until the time they are ready to be councelled.

my personal opinion is that society's biggest issue today is judging other people.  between religious beliefs and patriotism, etc., people are always putting other people down for something they think is wrong.  and it's not always so simple as making someone feel bad...it starts wars....look at all the terrorism happening today.  if everyone was just accepting of all races, religions, sexualities, etc., the world would be so much better.

We see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. We tolerate it because it's common, it's trival. We tolerate it morning, noon, and night. Well, not anymore. I'm setting the example. And what I've done is going to be puzzled over, and studied, and followed... forever.\n\nWhat sick ridiculous puppets we are...and what gross little stage we dance on...What fun we have dancing and f--king...Not a care in the world...Not knowing that we are nothing... We are not what was intended.

It involves the governments, but it's also about the rule the world is currently under. 1 John 5:19 says the world is lying in the power of the wicked one. So this system of things is ruled by Satan, in other words he is the god of this system or these wicked times we live in. If you like you can e-mail me and we can discuss it further.

I agree that there is too much of we're the bad guys syndrome going on in America. Compared to most countries outside the western world not only are we more economically well off, but have freedoms the majority of the world only dreams of. I hope that we can once again gain a sense of pride in not only who we are, but what we have achieved. In psychology not only can we project on the world, but also project upon ourselves. Let's try projecting something positive for a change.

You are correct the current growth rate of the world's population is unsustainable by any measure.  I wouln't be so quick to put the blame on religion, however.  It's hard to imagine living in a free country where there are some sort of authority telling you how many kids you can have.  It's a big problem.  \n\nThe part of the bible that says homosexuality is wrong also condones slavery and treating women as property.  I think it is sad that modern Christians cherry pick this homosexuality thing and hold it up as if it were something as important as what Jesus said, however they completely disregard the whole thing about a rich man having almost no chance to go to heaven, which scriptures said Jesus was extremely specific about.  \n\nModern christian belief is full of justifications and loopholes like the whole "love the sinner hate the sin" thing.  How many christians go to prison and tell the child molesters that they love them?  If you love the sinner, then how come it's ok to execute them?  Do you execute people you love?  In America Christians favor the death penalty more than any other group.\n\nThere are however, sects of christianity that are loving and caring and don't pick and choose what they like in the bible.  The salvationists (the salvation army) is one that comes to mind.  They are truly good people.

Humans have always hated in others what we hate about ourselves.  That is why you have so many people angrily attacking things they say they hate about our society.  Yet, what they hate the worst is what they see in the mirror everyday.  Normally, this isn't an issue but lately many of these hateful people have taken positions of power in our national government and that looks to be leading us to yet another unjust war.  Too make that situation even worse, these folks hide their hate behind religion... what a dangerous and explosive combination.

No,exclusion is cruel and possibly barbaric.It wouldn't change how good or bad the world is that much because its wrong and faulty.
