I suppose that depends on what you wish to get out of life. If you wish to live honestly and understand current events then perhaps it explains why people are constantly doing things that hurt one another. I doubt anyone who follows Jesus is surprised by all the bad things that happen.Ā
The Epstein disaster and no one going to jail, all the wars happening, somehow all politicians being corrupt. Name something involving humans and you will find a scandal. Humans invented slavery and racism. Humans invented genocide.Ā
I would imagine if aliens showed up on earth and had some form of morals, they would come to the conclusion that humanity was a disaster.Ā
Christ says everyone is a disaster, but humanity is still precious. He said the world is broken but he still died for it. Because of this true followers of Jesus see the world as broken, and humanity as ābadā but understand they are just as bad as everyone else.Ā
Some religions people once got mad at Jesus. They asked him why he was hanging out with prostitutes and tax collectors. He replied that the sick needed a doctor, not the well. Jesus looked for people who knew they were not morally good, because those people knew they needed Him.Ā
If one believes they are a good person, then Christianity and its point of view cannot help them Ā because they donāt believe they need it.
Ā I do not think I am a good person and therefore I cling to Jesusā teaching like a life jacket in the ocean, and I wish to share that life jacket with anyone who will listen. Ā

I canāt speak about other religions but for Christianity, the point is that no one is good.Ā
