Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2008 14:04:00 +0530 From: "Jason Keith Fernandes" > God did not create a world with boundaries. He created it so for a reason, so that we could go forth and satisfy our wants, enrich ourselves, share it with others and hand it over to others when their time comes. The boundaries have been erected by man. And boundaries fall. They fell in Jericho, they fell in Berlin, they will fall in Palestine, and through the movement of Goans and other emigrants across the world, they will inshallah fall all over God's earth. And I know that I will live to see the day. Amen. > Mario observes: > I seriously doubt you will live to see any of this, Jason, because what you have described is the kind of medieval anarchy that applied in the days of Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun when God's fittest and strongest prevailed at the expense of everyone else. > Organized societies have evolved since, designed by God's people, even if you may not like how and why the boundaries evolved. At the very least they serve an administrative purpose and the orderly management of the infrastructure and the wants of even the weakest in each society. > The stout walls of Jericho were designed to keep others OUT, the Berlin wall was designed to keep people IN. One may have fallen to an earthquake, the other to the fall of the old Soviet Union with their dreams of world domination in ruins. > I think the trick in achieving lasting world peace and harmony - if that is your goal - is to encourage more democracy because the evidence shows that democracies do not attack each other. >
