some ideas to the institution church
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

What are religions? How they can decide on our live? It is possible, that religions had caused wars? - of course - but why it is possible? There are so much poverty all over the world, why we have to kill us mutual because of diffrent religions, believing all to the same god.
I know that is not a question, which is easy to answer. My suit is to think about it as well. I am not want to give solutions, I only want to think about it.

I do not know if you have read the book The God Delusion. This book is very interesting and animate to think about. I also not agree with all arguements but all in all I think the book is a good thought-provoking impulse.
Before do you think somethink wrong, I have to say I am catholic, but I do not trust in every act of the catholic church and I am disagree with many views of this church. There is no question religions help people in difficult life situations but for what price? Every people in diffrent countrys die due to conflicts in religions. We must be clear, that the church is a high moral instance, if not the highest ethic and moral level, for th most of the people, I for one think so. And so the question, what we would do without of this? Of course this is all speculativ, because it is a fact that the church will not dissapear.
But I think it is important that we think about this and superior how much valuation we concede to the institiution church.

Some ideas to tackle climate change
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Global Change is a world wide problem now and in the near future. This is a fact. But if this is almost clear, why we dont tackle it efficently? Why we do not do everythink, to fight against this? Why we try to imagine it isnt a problem - it is a natural phenomenon?
This are particular diffrent questions. Its a complex of causes. Some of this:

1.)
The world dont see this process or wont see it. This is of cause caused of this, that it is a slowly process. Climate Change is not a thing from one day. Today its snowing and tomorrow the sun everyday shines and palms grew up everywhere. Its slowly and I think thats on of the main problems. You can only talk, talk and talk and promise:" tomorrow the wheater will change and areas will be fload."
But this could be happen in 50 or 100 years. This are periods, which are for myope people not close enough. Its far away. What does it interest me? And so you bang your head against a brick wall if you try to explain this people consequences of climate change.

The most are bullheaded and incorrigible. Explain this people the implications. Sensless! BUT if there are closer payments to there live, there are ready to do somethink so for example save costs through energy-efficent. This can those people understand save energy save money.
And thats also a step to tackle climate change. Maybe this is not clear in there minds that they save the enviroment but they do it anyway.

2.)

I´m from Germany and my family is not really rich but we have everythink we need and some more. And so we think about to install a solar collector. Of course thats good but the real point is, that people in africa are not able to install solar collectors or save the environment. The most are fighting to survive. So what to do here?
Of course this are also not the main producer of carbon dioxid and other greenhouse gases. But there are also large possibilitys to save the enviroment and produce renewable energies. Only about one to call: fire clearing and deforestation of the rainforest. So we have to think about how we help this people to survive and we tackle global warming efficently. Certainly one of the most difficult problems actually. Here you can write much more but i only want to name this already known problem.

3.) Another Problem in this complex is closly connected with the first named fact. And that is that many people see the consequences but dont work against (especially firms) because they think: " Why exchange the old cars or machinerys if the old ones work still good enough." Thats understandable especially with a company, which is financial not able to buy new e.g cars. Here I think the state should help. There have to be created tax or financial incentives to reduce CO2 emissions. This has allready happend in some country for example germany. So is energy, which is produced through renewable energies, and induct in the electriciy network, compensated to a constant price. And according to this and other examples we have creat more appeal to reduce CO2 emissions and so to do a step agianst climate change.
