You may have hit on something. Those in existential circles or humanist circles have a disdain for labeling people and actions as good and evil. But make no mistake. There is a soul sickness that is pervasive in modern times. In today's social and political climate, how did we get to a point where people actually hate each other over climate change? I can see the anger and dislike for people over abortion or eugenics, but hating somebody because they think maybe the earth is naturally going to get hotter because of increased population in a limited space? That is called science. And the hatred over God? That is the antithesis of what we are taught here in Western civilization. However we are also taught that capitalism trumps anything the Golden Rule stands for. Greed equals success, and we are seeing the negative effects of that mentality.

May be semantics, but the soul is the only part that is Not sick, the mind however is. The good news is in the end all is well, and if it's not well, it's not the end :)
And God is hated, there is a reason for that

I was reading an article last night that cited a statistic that chilled me to the bone. THIS is what we've turned into and I don't know how we got there but we need to find a way out of it.
Quote from that article:
"Politics was becoming more central to Americans’ identities in the 21st century than it ever was in the 20th. Would you be upset if your child married a supporter of a different party from your own? In 1960, only 5 percent of Americans said yes. In 2010, a third of Democrats and half of Republicans did."
I mean damn, really? I remember when having friends on the other side meant healthy debate and the chance of changing one another's mind. I remember compromise (which is apparently a dirty word now). I remember evolution being a non-issue in High School in a small E. TN town in the 90s! Now we just hate each other for no reason.

Hernandez is an enigma... Interesting character... Kinda like a side job... Loose wires in need of a junction box... A baffle that needs cleaning...
