The modern worship of Baal?

[Gunny]

In the vein of things that didn't interest me then but do now...



In the context of finishing up Hosea, that was written in the times of the falls of the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, in Sunday school and loosely defining Baal as false god(s) then I think it's undeniable that people are worshiping baal. People these days are looking for reasons to specifically not believe in God but as I've heard it said if you don't believe in something you'll believe in anything.

If you don't believe in a deity then you'll put all your faith in science, you'll raise up the environment to the level of the Almighty, or maybe you'll put all your efforts in courting the love, likes of others via social media. People want to play god by demeaning people of God, by changing the creation of God, or by fitting God into their life instead of the other way around. (I'm pretty sure I could come up with examples from the left and the right so to discuss the larger point I refrained)

Hosea, the prophets, historical context of the bible. It's all as relevant today as it was then.

Excellent response

Man-made environment is not God. Natural environment is. IMO.
