Are you worried about the state of the world?
Directing this to those who dont have a religious faith to hold on to.
Did you imagine 10 years ago things would turn out like this.
We have Trump, Brexit, Islamic terrorism, climate change, Amazon rain forest on fire, Greenland ice cap melting, oceans clogged with plastic, widespread extinction of animal species
Wasn't humanity supposed to be getting better?
I believe we are very close to return of Jesus
I guess that's an opinion you take take or leave, but seriously Are you worried?

Cleverjo - All of this is predicted. As is the solution.
//....or the return of "allah" or "buddha" or "jehova" or"Tinkerbell" or "santa clause".....//

...there ain't no Sanity Clause....
Thelord, you really should be more careful with how you spell others usernames.
Theland, ‘all of this is predicted’? Clarification needed.
Naomi and Fivellaves, it ks all written in the Bible.
Mock if you like, but it is there.
Dismiss it if you like, my proof to you will not take anything away from the truth.
The grave beckons. Don't ignore it.
Be joyful now, enjoy life, to the full.
But take heed.
Theland, you haven’t provided any proof - and please stop with your doom-laden advice. When our time comes we will die - and that includes you. That’s life.
"The grave beckons." Not for me it doesn't, fella. I've been booked in for cremation and ashes scattered on Pendle Hill (the top of, that is - don't want my children to miss out on the lovely walk uphill).
As to the OP's question. Worried? No. Concerned? Yes. Don't worry about things i have no real control over. Not scared of dying and am fully aware - and ok with - that, once dead, all that will be left of me will be memories and ashes.
//Naomi and Fivellaves, it ks all written in the Bible.

Whose mocking?
How is someone (like naomi) mocking by asking for clarification?
Please show where in the Bible it predicts Trump (or indeed the discovery of America), Brexit (or indeed anything to do with Europe), Islamic terrorism, climate change, rain forest fires, melting ice caps (or indeed that there are such things as ice caps), plastic pollution (or indeed the invention of plastic), animal species extinctions etc.

Jesus why would he want to return to such a mess, I think he's much to busy anyway supplying Morrisons with loaves and fishy.
I worry about the state of the human mind when so many people believe someone who claims they have instructions for them that come from God.
I'm more worried about the detremental effect that immigration is having on this country. It's the main cause of problems on various services. If the govt (this one or any other) allows it to continue, we will be ruined from within. And that's outwith Brexit.
I do worry about the world, but that has nothing at all to do with my absence of faith.

I always find the pat answer that 'Mankind has free will ... ' as the catch-all response to the evils in the world is simply not good enough.
It's nowt to do with any gods - it's a natural law:

Entropy: lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder.
I may have got this wrong, but I understood it to mean, how will those without a faith,belief etc, cope with what is happening in the world today. In other words, if we don't get comfort from praying or believing, what else can we hold onto.
