Many individuals struggle to come to terms with the notion of a
non-interventionist God. People, in their fear of individual
responsibility, look to outside sources to make decisions for them. So
they join a church or the military. To take full responsibility for
one's own actions is too much to bear for many. As a result we have a
political situation where a large portion of the population places their
trust in individuals they have little true awareness of. As a result
"the wool" is often pulled over the populations eyes.
The ultimate aim for all of us is to become our own authority and to make decisions for ourselves. This is the purpose of creation. We are created to freely decide our own life. There is no God telling us how to live.
There are approaches to life which have more favorable outcomes such as those given by Jesus in his sermon on the mount recorded in the Christian bible.
However, the creator, in its infinite generosity has given us each the greatest gift of all- FREE WILL. And the whole point of free will is that it is ours to use and the responsibility for its use lies solely with us. No-one else can be held to blame. In this regard we are all students learning how to use our free will in a way that is most pleasing to ourselves
