Emotional Attachment (Part 2) – 26 May 2007
After Adam and Eve’s fall and expulsion from Eden, described in
Genesis, humans were on a downward spiral. The freedom to choose that
God had given humans was used by them to sink ever deeper into an
abyss of evil. Finally God brought about the Flood; but even Noah and
his family, who survived in the ark, strayed from God’s original
intent.
I speculate that there must have been a lot of cannibalism and human
sacrificing going on for God to allow humans to sacrifice animals. Yet,
all through history, humans have latched on to the concessions that God
reluctantly allows. They become emotionally attached to ethnicity,
religion, tradition, culture; and instead of eliminating those rituals
that are cruel and taking steps to be closer to God’s original intent,
they choose to wallow in the mire, dragging down their offspring with
them and punishing those who see and speak the truth. Depending on the
object of choice, emotional attachment or loyalty can be beneficial or a
stumbling block impeding progress toward God’s ideal.

"Joyful Curmudgeon"
An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the
same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.Blog
