money is a very bad motivator and can lead to worse performance.

Better to
- have a culture of positivity, encouragement and appreciation
- foster purpose (why are we doing what we are doing)
- give more freedom to employees

I agree that we are created in Gods image however if you look into the world and see all the destruction I think we rather behave like the devil rather than God. The "godness" is just restored through his "goodness" when he sent Jesus for us. In him we are a new creation, with God dwelling inside of us and wanting us to do good. That makes us more and more "godlike".

mostly corruption and mismanagement

Hey Herodes,

I just made some comments on your thread. Even though it is pretty late, I hope it helps. Please feel free to reach out if you have more questions.

Depends on what religion you talk about. If you talk about the Christian faith, then it is all about the love God has for us and all we as followers do is a response to that.

If you are talking about Christians then the maker is already inside of them. Yes, they could have just been on the sofa but there is something special of worshipping and mingling with other believers that you cannot do at home.

That is your belief that God does not exist. Why not put it to the test and pray yourself to Jesus if he is real. He will surely answer your prayer.

Science will never tell you about purpose in life and what will happen with your soul after you died.

Agree, every human should be treated equal and have the rights to express his/her worldview.

Based on the bible no person on this planet can get to God because we are all not “holy”. But thankfully he sent Jesus to reconcile us with him.

If everyone is doing what makes him/her happy then we would have pedophiles molesting children and other stuff that hurts other people. This should always be in its boundaries and not harm others of course.
So real happiness cannot be achieved for everyone, since happiness for some may cost the happiness of others.

Happiness is not to be found in this world and material things. If you have enough money, a nice spouse, a cool car and a big house, these things can be taken from you. Most rich people are afraid to loose the stuff again they accumulated.


The main goal is to see that God loves us so much that he gave his only Son Jesus Christ for us so that we would have life more abundantly (and not only to bring us to heaven but to bring heaven into us). Everything else is secondary.

If you are a Christian and believe in Jesus you could tell her about him.

If not, let me tell you that Jesus changed my life completely. There is joy, piece and meaning in life that I did not have before.
Hope this verse encourages you:

Deuteronomy 31:8
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.

God bless

reasons:

1. experience of my own and other lifes that have been changed positively. Prayers answered

2. the Jewish tora and other jewish books (also referred to as the old testament in the bible) which were written between 1500-500 BC speak about Jesus. There are numerous prophesies, analogies and a lot of symbolism that point to Jesus. It just shows that God had the whole plan of salvation laid out from the beginning.

3. life itself and the uniqueness of the earth in the whole cosmos. It is very unlikely that there is another planet out there with all its attributes that make life as we know it possible.
