A while ago, I noticed a book in the library titled "the left hand of God". Inside of the book listed various facts about tragedies and violence caused by religious conflicts, which include quite some from christian churches in the history.
I did not want to read the book, not because I don't agree with the author. By reading the title and glimpse through couple of pictures I already agreed a lot on the view point of him. The facts listed in the book were not deniable, any way.
But there are more truth than straight forward simple fact list. I don't like the conclusion he draw from those facts. We should not deny God, or faith on his love because of those fact.
Then how should we look at these? In stead of trying to explain my opinion by throwing a lot of words here. I'd like to simply give my conclusion, give you the chance to make the judgment and the rest of the thinking.
What is behind the left hand of God?
God has two hands, left hand to split the people and make them different. The right hand works to mix them together so that they like each other. (Not make them looks alike, but to love and appreciate each other.)
Looks like the left hand and right hand are fighting each other, but they serve one purpose together: teaching us that the difference between us on color race, religious belief are not the reason to fight each other but to appreciate each other.
What hint was God trying to give us when he made the partner Eve to be a female instead of making them identical twin.
If God make us all identical and give us eternal life and let them into the kingdom of heaven. What kind of life will they live? To die, to stop thinking? How if their mind get divided again?
There is only one solution, we should accept or even appreciate our difference between each other. That's why God made his creation in great variation and this is the reason our life becomes so colorful.
Thanks to God!
