'There is no evidence of the existence of the Kingdom of God in today's world.'
The kingdom of God is still very relevant to Christians today. The fact is that the kingdom of god is still at hand. It is here and now, and not in the distant future. You can reach it now, by changing your ways and listening to the word of God.
It is very possible for a cynic to say that there is no God out there. For I know of many atheists who believe that God never existed at all, and that he was a being that was thought up by the weak to try and stop the strong from being omnipotent. Maybe they are right, who am I to say that they are wrong? If you look at all the suffering in the entire world, in Burma there is a tremendous amount of suffering going on. I know from personal experience that there is. How can a God that is merciful let a child starve on the streets. How can a God that is merciful let the good men of this world get beaten, thrown in prison, tortured, and even killed for what he believes. The flooding in India, the oppression of Tibet, the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo, where neighbour kills neighbour over a right of land. With all the cheating, lying. All you have to do is turn on the television and what do you see. Violence, pornography, cursing, the list goes on and on. We live in a degrading society. This is a place where youths mug an old woman for her pension. I heard on the news the other day that while an lod lady was getting treated on the pavement by paramedics some one instead of helping goes and steals her hand bag. How many times do we hear of children in America shooting up a school because they were bullied? Even a nine-year-old child can get a firearm and shoot his brother or his friend these days. When a child kills his father and when a father kills his child, this must be evidence that the kingdom of God no longer exists, or that he has totally lost interest in us.
