Chesterton wrote the book.

You write the post.

Like Chesterton writing a hundred years ago, I think I know what's wrong with the world.

How about you?

Do you think you know what's wrong with the world?

In a post of 25 words or less tell us what's wrong with the world.

Then in 25 words or more tell us what's wrong the other posts telling us what's wrong with the world.

The top five answers win prizes.

Namaste​
 
People are ever-increasingly ignorant of their need for a Saviour, and are ever-increasingly determined to please themselves instead of pleasing God.
 
The biggest thing wrong with the world in 25 words or less?

Hmm....

Chocolate cake, pizza and beer all have too many calories.

“What is wrong is that we do not ask what is right.”

Mankind has evolved enough to learn how to use his capabilities and learn to live together in peace. Maybe one day, if the species survives that long.
 
I can tell ya in 4 words...Satan rules the world...2 Cor. 4:4...
 
What is wrong with the earth. Simple, it has way to many Kristen Stewart movies, by a factor of all of them.

Spot on !
Just view the posts not only here in the Beliefs section but breaking news and partisan sections as well. So many posters here highly disrespects the Words of God and God himself. There was a poster here telling God to "eff" off and leave us alone. Terrible ignorance.
You might of seen most of my responses challenging these responses and supporting our President Donald Trump. I am a conservative and speaking for myself defending religion and the privilege in worshiping him.
So what I'm outspoken. We need to defend our rights to religion and Christianity as a whole along with defending our Country with our President at the helm.
Sorry for the novel response but I had to get this out. You made a excellent point about the ignorance of a need for our Savior.
...Like I said,let God do his work.

...and he's having fun watching us come apart and at each others throats.
There's going to be a great divide...
God will put his followers on one side,the non believing trouble makers near his feet. I think you know what's next and it's not the electric slide.
 
I can tell you in one word: Marketing.
 
the people living in the world have become more violent/aggressive/selfish/heartless/entitled/extreme and a media that blows every tragedy out of any and all proportions.

The media dishes it out. It's profits such as advertizing and ratings.

That is what makes the tv go around and with that many news outlets and providers, journalists/news stations feel they have to go big or shut down because normal journalism is not getting any ratings sufficient to make survival of that newspaper/news station viable.

If we need a Saviour so much, why isn't he here already ?

There's more competition out here such as DailyMailtv and TMZ Live which adds to the mix against the networks. You have talk shows who strives to report the news.Sad to say if you don't have the juicy stories and ratings,you lose your situations.

It could be worse, it could be the 1990's were CNN would spend hours showing a car chase in California. Still, the population is still increasing and there is only 24 hours a day. Therefore, you only notice the world is getting worse each and every day.

Thinking there is something wrong and thinking there is some answer to it all is the oldest tail chasing exercise of man.

He already showed up once, and you don't believe it. Why would a second visitation be any different for you?

It is the education of the white people that is the problem not the color of their skin. It is their religion they believe is also the problem, not the skin. It is just accidental their skin is white. Is it not strange, when we study Greek history, it basically covers 700 BCE to the time of the Romans. We study the books, we study Plato and others. From 500 CE to now, we do not even care to read these books. Think about it!

He was already here 2,000 years ago and already did what he needed to do to "save us from our sins"... He will one day come again when the time is right.

THat is a very christian attitude. THere is no need for 'Salvation' . The claim there is a need for a Savior is the snake oil cure to a disease that does not exist.

If he was really God, he would have done a good enough job the first time around.

Yes, it is indeed a very Christian attitude. It's the crux of Christianity; that we need redemption and that Jesus has done that for us.

If you wish to deny Jesus' redemption for you, that's your choice.
