Spirituality vs. Technology A war of ideals

Spirituality vs. Technology A war of ideals Spirituality vs. Technology: A war of idealsGood moing / afteoon, depending on the time zone.I? Let me take a moment and solve a problem that exists in every individual, to a certain extent, the spirituality. I am not necessarily refer to the kind of thing where you get up on Sunday and listening to the preacher, priest, deacon or minister. Are a reference to something that lives within each person, which distinguishes us from lower life forms. As before, God has taken a beating in this country in recent generations. The more you lea about our world and the universe around us less magical and mysterious, small miracles of life become. A science and high technology of our thoughts at a point where we as a species, have passed the concept of a deity, or even a meeting in May that be something bigger that the man in the Cosmos ? An archaic religion and become the noise in our society and we as a species is no more? Spiritual? in nature? I am often asked these questions as I watch my wife go to church on Sunday moing and stay at home. I see our children roaming in more than one? Religious? path and find their own truth outside of religion. E? S literally a struggle for my wife to bring them to church on Sunday, and I refuse to set foot in a Catholic church for various reasons? A must not be cut into a column. My son has decided not to confirm. The colors used metaphors to describe the Catholic Church and the? Faith? R was estimated to put it mildly. But I asked myself, what makes him so violently against religion and faith. It was me, as my husband is implied or something else? Tom and I had a discussion about this topic and I found his point of view in their complexity and reasoning.1. As you can certainly say that no other priest is living the universe? You can not even go to Mars, but some pompous man pretending he knows everything and nothing exists nowhere in the entire universe, except here. (I admit, he got me a few years ago under the metaphor ... I was surprised that blocked) 2. How can you explain not Darwin? S theory of evolution, because it can not explain the primitive man, because he can not explain the Jurassic period? <> 3. Because they simply respond? We must have faith? What kind of pot is this? There were some other issues, but I believe that the validity of his argument was well made with a three-pointer. I find it surprising that the year of Sunday school and CCD never addressed these issues, or has failed to tackle a real basis for explanation. My wife was right about one thing, though, that I am organized religion from afar .. The Catholic Church has had to think about my son. I guess the apple n? T fall very far from the tree with the boy. Now, my wife and my mother are praying the Rosary Novena say religious irreducible. I was in a moment that I had my own? Epiphany?. My children have seen more than statues and prayer books and religious objects from their grandmother? The house and our house in most churches. My daughter said that? Grammy? S house is fear, there? And all these religious things in the world. In short, they had the strength of a religion fueled by the throat and never received a proper explanation of their alleged faith, just beating a conviction without any real explanation of why they should believe, short of eteal damnation. E 'guilt of the Church? Or is the fault of the parents? Probably both, in my humble opinion. But all this is my first train of thought, my children are the product of a technological age, computers, mobile phones, Inteet and video games, etc. Technology has a major part of their lives, more than any other generation in human history. If this technology and the desire for the technology hindered the spiritual part of their being. Perhaps nothing more accepted on faith? If there is a need for an explanation and proof of claims? I believe that for this generation, yes, the old school, religious education in the fall of yet. The technology is a science, there are facts and the reasons for any technological world. There are wonders like the Inteet, where almost everything can be studied and discovered the simple click of a mouse button. In previous generations, but never such a wealth of technology and information available. The science of the technology is ready to supplant superstitious faith theology. The biblical stories that have no real reason for science is far from wise to decline more sophisticated audience. I say this without any degradation of evil biblical stories that are part of theology, not cast any dispersion on faith or spirituality. I look at the role they take, or not? AT, in a technology-based children of today are very wordlier than their predecessors. More relevant, both good and evil, is available in more places than ever. I fear that we are becoming increasingly oriented toward computer technology, we have become more skeptical and cynical to concepts and ideas that we as a people, can not see and / or scope. It 'better to do as a whole or not? That? S for all to enjoy. Spirituality, or lack thereof, is not only a religious question, you? And the ability to conceive and appreciate the simple beauty that exists in the simple things of life, like a sunset, a drop of rain or the wonder of a snowflake geometrica without breaking down in the cold facts and equations as the technology needs of our mind. The technology has matured as a society, we have dispelled many myths and facts about for centuries, the world is not flat, the earth is not the center of the solar system, life changes and evolves and there are things beyond our galaxy, etc. Technology has opened the door to more questions than it has been able to resolve in humanity? s short reign on this planet. Our technological advances exceed our morale and a sense of good and evil that we, as the progress of a people? Our spirituality survive in the increasingly technological world, the cold facts and equations, or spirituality in the form of religion and faith are off and the technology before the fall of the icons of a new generation? I sincerely hope not. Belief in a higher power in the universe is something I hope will never be extinguished. I hope that man, as a species, it will never be so arrogant in its technological wonders that he sees the role of God, and destroy the life of a humanist moral code. I continue to search heaven and we believe that there is life, anywhere, the races of human beings struggling with the same ideas and concepts that we as a species live. I hope that one day we are in contact with other life, and so are the seeds of the frateity here in the stars because I think this experiment has been tried elsewhere. The universe is too vast a place with too many galaxies and stars to human beings'? Be all and end all?. Do not ask me to explain my reasoning for me? T. I just take faith.Nuff said.
