Safety in numbers

China's people officially feel safe...well, at least 34% of them do. Another 55% feel "basically safe". There's a big difference between being "safe" and "basically safe". Running Dog has a good article on all of this. Most worrying are the 10% who don't feel safe at all. In China that means there are 130 million people fearing for their safety.

It's enough to get me worried.

Elsewehere last week we had a glimpse of a day of the life of the Panchen Lama. Mr Lama celebrated his 15th birthday. Amongst the well-wishers were China's President, Hu Jintao who reminded the Lama to be "a Living Buddha with full love to the country and his religion." Note the order: country first, then religion. That was deliberate.

Now I know at least one of the 130 million.

Many problems in human experience are the result of false
and inaccurate definitions of humankind premised in man-
made religions and humanistic philosophies.

Consider:
The way we define 'human' determines our view of self,
others, relationships, institutions, life, and future.
Important? Only the Creator who made us in His own image
is qualified to define us accurately. Choose wisely...
there are results.

The HUMAN PARADIGM

Man is earth's Choicemaker. Psalm 25:12 He is by nature
and nature's God a creature of Choice - and of Criteria.
Psalm 119:30,173 His unique and definitive characteristic
is, and of Right ought to be, the natural foundation of
his environments, institutions, and respectful relations
to his fellow-man. Thus, he is oriented to a Freedom
whose roots are in the Order of the universe.
