Comments on: Mother’s Day http://greatwolf.blogpeoria.com/2008/05/12/mothers-day-2/ Just a quiet corner of the Net where I will come to sit and think and write. Maybe you will find that I have something worthwhile to say.

Actually, I would put it a different way:

1) God created humans to be like Him.

2) Instead, we chose to sin, pursuing our own ideas and then justifying them.

3) Therefore, instead of becoming glorified (becoming more like God), we become more bestial.

God created us with greatness in mind, but instead, we are content to rut like animals. That’s a tragedy of the highest order.

But, you are correct in saying that this shouldn’t be surprising. What *is* surprising is that God didn’t leave us in the filth that we chose for ourselves.

Contra to that (the revolution, to borrow your language) is the idea that human existence can be selfless in the consumption/sharing of food and also selfless in sexual acts. We shouldn't be surprised that the instinctual behaviour of humans is so base, and that the higher order consciousness will then seek to justify it (e.g., Wait for the right one - <i>the one you desire the most</i>).
