that without God there is no hope for ever uniting mankind, and that society will only continue to plunge into immorality. For me, I have experienced an extreme growth of greed, dishonesty, and outright cruelty within the societal structure in the past ten years. I can't say I have experienced anything positive during this time. I need the hope that a higher being will bring peace and unite us, without that I feel the fall of humanity is inevitable. Does anyone else feel that way?

God and religion did not create war, man and his lust for power creates war, the bible predicted people would do such things. If religion does not exist, men will find another reason to create war. Those answers are cop outs, anyone who understands and actually reads the words of Jesus Christ knows what Christianity stands for. :-(

Logically you can't blame war on God if he does not exist, therefore the only logical explanation is man!

Yes, I feel that way too! And I know for a fact that God will rid the earth of all those things, and it is coming very soon. If you want to know more email me and I'll be glad to answer any question you ask.

Actually I believe that the lack of God will go farther in uniting mankind that having an idea of one consdiering that God has so many faces depending on the belief. That is why there should NOT be religion in government or politics but left to the individual to decide what they believe in. Once religion gets into government then we are well and truly fubared as we are now.

Man kind on this planet will never be united. As long a sin is in the world, world peace ain't happening.
There is coming a day when the Anti-christ will have a one world government and people who take his mark will bow down to the beast. You don't want to be here when all that is going on. God is going to destroy the earth with fire.
Read the Holy Bible for the details.

You are correct in your feelings. There has never been more apostasy than there has been in the last 10 years. You are NOT going crazy. Even during the world wars, I don't think there was so much trials as we are now facing: AIDS epidemic, the spread of dis-belief and the falling away from religious practices, false teachings, derision, confusion, spread of sexual immorality...it is there for anyone who turns on their computer or TV! We are under attack, even children!
The spiritual powers at work are stronger than ever before, because the evil one knows his time is short. That is why it is so important for us to love those around us and be tolerant and loving and to pray. Pray very much, for the good of the world and those around us. There are many dangers, both seen and unseen.

God will not unite mankind, etc as it is not anything real, nor concrete - but rather a false belief, that has only held mankind back from peace, etc etc.
True spiritual teachings are about connecting with your own spirit and heart, through your feelings, etc.

ya we must believe on god, but we must not depend on them thinking that god will fulfill our requirements with out our labour and actions.Therefore, to make the society and whole earth peaceful and united, we must have mutual understanding with each other and the main thing is that there must not be any racial or sex discrimination.

Only man can unite man. Only history can teach man. The notion of God, sadly, further drives us apart, and erects more barriers between man.

Has it been going pretty well for the world since this God character was made up? I think we could do much better with out the fairy tales.

Nope.
You don't need a higher power, you need therapy.
