You can do both. Pretty sure God would not want us to turn of the TV and sell that boat bought with banker loans and start living the way he wanted. That will amount to effective civil disobedience in minecraft.
Yes. God allows one to play minecraft. I don't disagree about both. Just that some people use that lame excuse to be lazy, as you know.
Society is weak. It is vulnerable to new ideologies because there is not a common value set and all the old ones are dismissed aggressively. It's a slippery slope. Started by dropping religious artifacts, then the value system keeps slipping. Now being patriotic is bad.
Normies need to be told what to do and what not to do - along some general lines. Without it, they are ripe for commies to harvest. Look at the young women gravitating to Bernie - he became the voice of a very adamant and confident father - and people are missing that.
In communism, allegiance to state becomes god. That's the only way it can work even for a little, because people have to be willing to sacrifice for the sake of an ideal. That's why commies hate religion. Communism requires motivation based on idealism.
Capitalism let's two forms of human nature compete: laziness vs greed. Add in virtue and you get more success - thus, religion is really the friend of capitalism. Ironically, capitalism turns evil without moral duty.
my take, I think God would want most people to live humbly but not all. Solomon had hundreds of concubines and God seemed good with that. Some people need to be kings or materials for whatever reason.
He would not want us rotting away doing nothing or watching TV or waiting for the messiah to arrive.
As simply as any one has put it, to basically take what you have and to do the most with it that you can. Speaking of Carl Jung, I think he had a word for what guided you on this process of what was the best thing you could do. It was like being interested and engaged, almost like "in the zone" type thing - and that's what you were meant to do.

You can, but wayyy there’s too much trust the plan here and it allows people to be complacent.
Also what do you mean? Wouldnt god want us to live humbly? Without loans and tv?
yes, God would want us to live without all these fake consoomer garbage. If we had been doing that the state would have alot less power.
