There has been consolidating of powers. First the US, then the EU. Asia will be next. All you need to do is pass a law that will forbid religion. There are more and more atheists now, because we, religious people unable to sort out our own lives and be like angels as they are expecting us to be, instead doing things which of some are demonic, are helping them on that journey. Plus science is continuing to endeavor on proving that God is not real. Lesser and lesser resistance to tackle should disorder arise. Homosexual marriage has long passed in the US, recently in the UK. People are starting walk bigtime over the powers of the church. "Old" values of the Bible are no longer applicable, a thing of the past. Heck, the Bible was an invention anyway. To hell with it, then. It won't be long.

To the angel of the church in Ephesus
by kassad84 inthe one who holds the seven stars in his right hand, the one who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this:.
i know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false; and you have perseverance and have endured for my names sake, and have not grown weary.
but i have this against you, that you have left your first love.

The truly Christian answer is never an appeal to some grander plan or the mystery of God’s will. At the foundation of any Christian metaphysics is the idea that God is, and therefore wills, only absolute goodness, and that evil has no ‘genuine’ existence, but is only a perversion of what is good.
Often it seems as if the only possible responses in the face of evil and suffering are “It is God’s will” or “Shit happens”. But we rightly recoil from both of these views, and there is a third that matches more closely the longings and groans that prompt even our condemnation of God: that evil is unnatural, that the death of a child is not right, that things are not supposed to be this way.
And this is precisely the message of the New Testament: that our world is in some sense fallen, that it is governed by principalities and powers which are foreign to it, that death is an enemy, and that God himself is engaged in a war against it.
Such a view may be false. It may be just wishful thinking. But it is not simplistic. And it is a view (to my mind the only view) that takes seriously our outcry against fate and death and suffering and easy answers.

Only read a couple of the opening pages, and I am not sure if this point has already been raised. Just throwing a few cents here - not sure if it is stupid either.
For those that says God doesn't do anything but exist, Christianity answers that He chose to come down as a man through the person of Christ and choose suffer with us. emmanuel. God has been laboring and still laboring to change the hearts and will of men unto himself, because this is the essential thing, the core of the problem - to turn the will of his creatures back to Him. Imagine if God chose to protect people from natural disasters. What then? Even if the whole world turns into paradise right now, it will be useless and a mockery if there are still murderers, rapists, covetousness, and a whole lot of diseases we have in our hearts that causes us to hurt each other.
When will God act? That will always be a stumbling block. I believe, if God does exist, we are in no position to dictate or to direct what should be done next. Abraham waited 25 years (and after that God asked him to sacrifice the very thing he waited for;the will is what's important). The nation of Israel waited 300 years in bondage. And many others. Though, this will be nonsense if you believe that the Bible is a fairy tale. And so God is a fairy tale, and the discussion ends there. I think this is arrogant, because the fact that these events may have happened a long time ago, we won't simply know because we were not there, no matter how many history and acheological books we have read, we won't simply know the whole truth, there's always something that's left undiscovered, errors that will be corrected. And so it is with God. A little caution is never bad.
The Bible says God is Love, I believe that. It also says, every knee shall bow to Him, and every tongue will praise Him. He will do something magnificent that all of this hurt we are talking about right now will be nothing, He will exhibit mercy so magnificent that we will be ashamed of ourselves, of the way we have talked and acted against Him. And then He will welcome us back treat us as equals

He said to His disciples, "It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.

Of course they did because if you ask any breathing Jew today they will show you from the sources that JESUS WAS A FALSE PROPHET, you just use your own version of Christianity without acknowledging what those of the Jewish faith have to say on the matter. Further this substantiates the claim that Roman authorities were tring to control people of the Jewish faith because if you understood the reasons why Pilate condemned Jesus you would know that Jesus is a lunatic for doing what he did during the Jewish traditions.
Sometimes it's all about saving face, and paying respects to the Elders
"Later rabbis had to defend the (originally non-unanimous) vote of the first century Sanhedrin which tried and convicted Jesus of apostasy, heresy and fraud. Why? It was inconceivable that the Elders of Israel would make such a colossal mistake as repudiating God's Mashiach and turning him over to Goyim to be executed.
Without questioning, without opening the documents of the case, later rabbis accepted what their teachers—and their teachers and their teachers—believed to be a right legal decision regarding the young rabbi from Nazareth. They repeated and thus validated the original ruling as the authoritative Jewish position for all time."
