I don't get it

I don't get it.
I don't get why we don't see the tragedy that is killing us all slowly, stripping us of our purpose, cutting us off from living longer.
I don't get why we can say that it's wrong to do something, yet we are lacking in love, in hope, and in peace.
I don't get why time and time again, while there are millions around the world starving, we complain about how much sleep we weren't able to get in our nice warm beds.

I don't get it.

I don't understand why amidst a war that has been going on, soldiers die for their country,yet on a daily basis, thousands of innocent lives die before they had the chance to live.
I don't get it.
I don't understand that while all this is going on, we are arguing amongst ourselves.
I don't get it.
I don't get it.
I don't get it.

I don't get why we say "freedom of religion", when as each day goes by, it becomes more like:
"freedom of all religions....except Christianity".
I don't understand that while a person is living, they are despised and few support them, yet once they depart from this earth, everyone celebrates their existence.
I don't get it.
I don't understand why people support Martin Luther King Jr, and "everything he stood for", yet when we point out he was a man of faith, a man of God, people say that what he believed in had nothing to do with it.
It had everything to do with it.
I don't get why people say that religion hardens hearts and enslaves minds,
when the greatest minds this world has ever seen were men and women of God.
But I don't get it.
I don't get why during the Holiday season, we have to say "Happy Holidays", yet two months earlier, everyone says "Happy Hallloween".
Merry Christmas, I say.
I don't get it.
I don't understand why on that cross, He said 'Father, forgive them. For they know not what they do',
yet we continue to do it anyway. . .

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
-John 3:16


I think I get it now. . .
