Has God become useless?

Has God become useless?

Or have we made him useless in propagating a series of systems that aid us in times of catastrophe?

Have we passed the need for God?

All our needs are supplied by big businesses. In replacing God as the provider, is big business asking us to worship it?

Where does God figure in our lives?

For sympathy and a shoulder to cry on, we have our friends.

For support in our early ventures, we have our parents.

For laying down the foundation of a good life, we choose our spouse or partner.

For the end part of our lives, we invest in a good retirement home.

We ensure our funeral expenses are covered by investing in a funeral insurance towards the end of our lives.

We have lived a life, vanished form sight, maybe remembered by some but largely it is a life ending in oblivion if we have not been notorious, wicked, famous, a celebrity or do-gooder.

So, what has been the purpose of our lives?

He lived well, and he died well. What a pathetic creature that is. Some horses, running in those famous races, have a better life after their death than most people.

If our sense of purpose is largely about getting on with the job at hand and getting it done properly, day in day out, it is a pathetic life indeed.

If it is to raise more of a brood that fall into the same, cannon fodder for the business battles raging around us daily, we have not lived our lives but lived others lives for them.

A hard worked holiday, time off to do ‘your thing’, drinking binges and whoring constitutes our lives.
