FAITH-FATH-FATH

How does Faith relate to the world in which we live?

            Faith is a rather powerful word that has been overrated by people whom wish to abuse it. Some reasons righteous some outrageous, but faith is also a weapon feared by politicians and political leaders around the world. Although this world is corrupt and bastardized by greed, faith is still existent; faith is feared.

            How is faith relatable to the world we live in? It is faith that built the community that we live in today, faith is the sole of our shoes, and faith is what is keeping political tyrants at bay. Why is faith so powerful? It can easily be diluted. An infamous leader, Hitler who has murdered many for the sole reason of power and status has used faith to make him who he was years ago. Through his speeches and political rants about the League’s “Blank Cheque” has enthralled the people of Germany and lead to the rise of leadership over years. Before his rise, Hitler has used political movements in order to gain reputation. Even in his time in prison he was able to write a book in order to gain the acceptance from the German public. By relating his ideas and what he can do if faith were put into his ideas. Years ago people had sought vengeance against the victors of World War One; by using this Hitler was able to manipulate hope and faith into putting him in power. Ultimately when he rose into power, it was not only world domination that he fought for, but the extermination of a certain “race”, to destroy hope itself.

            Yet how is this man any different than that of any president whom has lied to the public? They too have lied in order to gain the acceptance of others. It is their idealistic hope to gain they’re acceptance and faith in order to put themselves in ultimate political power.

            How is faith feared? In China, which still oppresses religion on too the society does not allow Christianity to fall into the hands of the public. Why, because the strongest and the most well known political leader of all time is Jesus Christ himself. Of course China would try to remove such a powerful symbol of faith and hope in order to keep them in power. It is a bold and daring move, but it is one that they may regret one day in the future. Faith in Christianity is feared because it is a book of many promises and each promise increases the chance of an uprising. The Chinese country contains one fifth of the entire population of the world, if even half of that population were to turn into an uprising there is no stopping them. Unless the Chinese government reconciles an agreement upon genocide, and once all those people die there will be no one left to run the thousands of factories in China.

            The question still stands how does faith relate to the world today? It relates to fear, and power. Once there is enough faith and hope all hell will break lose and the world in which we live in today will break into chaos. That’s how faith is related; its how it relates to the book of revelations.
