"If
God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him". For many years I
have been banging my head to find out what made Voltaire reverse the Genesis
and desire for men to be creating God…. And then I came to Sweden.
This hard
working, innovative and nature loving people, faithful to their respect for
freedom, independence and common good, rolled up their sleeves and in a few
generations time invented God and called it social democracy.
It is
closest the men can get to experience the benefits of faith in social order
based on equality and progress.
Some
predict that it can’t last much longer and that it is a question of time before
its institutions collapse. They blame it to the fact that it is an EU nation
which, per capita, takes in the most refugees from the Middle East.
But as long
as its core values such as Open, Authentic and Caring remain intact it will
stay strong and help integrate all the good willing newcomers.
Because the
best way to bring together people who ran away from the fury and destruction committed
in the name of revengeful God’s is to invent and embrace the new one. The one
they help to invent.
