APOCALYPTIC PARADIGM SHIFT!
Suppose, just suppose, that instead of most world religions continuously framing mankind in the negative, calling it "fallen," or "sinful," or the like; suppose, just suppose instead, that mankind was more favorably framed by them in the positive, as beloved of God blessed, highly favored, esteemed?
Would not that affirmative outlook; that polar change in prevailing, primordial human perspectives, itself, alter the human personality?
Could not that more naturalist view of man enhance the possibilities of man? change the behavior of man?
Imprinting is a dangerous thing. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he?" Being born in "sin," immured in "sin," indelibly linked to sin is an awful pigsty to be stuck in forever?
Why would Almighty God even or ever bother to have created, much less to endow, mankind knowing that it was a loathsome miscreant?
What if, just image if, instead of having been made in the image of evil, the devil or Satan--whatever that is--as is now popularly held, mankind was, instead, made in the very likeness and image of God!

Also, imagine, just image that instead of God rejecting mankind as wickedly evil, God even lovingly accepts his own creation as good; indeed, not just good, "very good!"

The school to prison pipeline is popularly decried, by many blacks in the United States of America as an abomination. Rightly so! It is wrong to prepare our children--any child-- for prisons, the penitentiary. Is it not just as wrong to prepare children from the cradle for hell? To smother its God-given aspirations, hopes, and dreams, under a veil ?
I think so. I say so! An apocalyptic paradigm shift in our global view of mankind is due from the world's major religions! That revised view must respect man and woman, as marvelous creations of their God!
