Mark Juergensmeyer:

This video was very interesting. The idea of bombs and innocent victims being harmed for no reason, makes me sad. This world is so caught up in the ideas of being so powerful that people are forgetting that there are those out there that are innocent. There is a great war going on around the world and its hard to really see what sides the right side and whats the wrong side. There are those that are trying to cover up things that are going up that we are so naive. We don't see the war thats going around us and if we do hear about it and read about it, we don't want to believe it. There is struggle between right & wrong, good & evil. If we don't realize whats wrong, how are we supposed to see whats really right in the world.
This religion has a great power over its people and there is a great brainwashing thats going on everywhere else. We need to open our eyes to the world and actually see whats going on. We are only human, we can't hide from everything. We need to be exposed to war and poverty, because we can't keep living in a world that we think is perfect. We know that these things are going on, but if we don't see them, how do we really know that they are true. I enjoyed hearing that God has answers, we just have to let him give them to us. If we don't believe that he can help, how on earth are we going to get out of this? If we don't start doing something ourselves, shouldn't we allow ourselves the ability to believe that the higher power can help us?
