The Marine and the Hippie 210605 S01E17- God is, People Do
Manage episode 337491770 series 3381954
In this Dialogue, the Marine and the Hippie discuss the role that God plays in the world. Far too often, God is invoked to justify the actions of man, whether for good or evil. We discuss this notion that whatever people think of God, our actions in this world are our own. And far too often, we say God did this or inspired that, but it is important to remember that ultimately the action itself, whether it be the writing of some religious text or the genocide of a people, falls upon the shoulders of the men (and women) who did the action. God does not speak, or act in the world. And it is immoral for us to claim that we can oppress some people, or deny some people basic necessities simply because we claim that God did or did not command us to do it. Ultimately it is up to us as people to act in the world, because God, if God exists, simply IS. It is always people who DO, or don't do.
