"This is an appeal to citizens, young and old, to take responsibility for the things in our society that don't work."

The above comment came from an essay, recently published as a book, by Stephane Hessel a former member of the French Resistance. Hessel has identified a number of issues about which he is indignant and invites other citizens to do the same. Hessel's essay is fast becoming a "best seller" with sales of one million copies predicted soon. No doubt it will be translated into many languages.
Hessel recommends peaceful and non-violent insurrection; interesting given his background in the Resistance.

Are there any issues about which you are indignant?
Is there anything that upsets you about which you are prepared to advocate insurrection?
The things that Hessel was indignant about were of little interest to me; but each to his own.

I wonder what are the things that God is indignant about today?
Is the Creator content with the behavior of the creatures, especially the human ones?
Is there a nation or group of people that one can look toward and confidently say the Creator must be content with them?
Is there a country whose citizens are a model to the rest of the world?
Is there a commercial enterprise that has the right motives?
Is there a charity or NGO one can say is admirable?

It was revealed to Marie Julie that her Creator was very unhappy with the people of France who had formerly been know as the Elder Daughter of the Church.
Not only had France murdered its King and Queen, but it had in large part turned its back on belief in Jesus as the Christ of God.
Mary Magdelene, her sister Martha and  her brother Lazarus, among others had brought the Good News to, what was then Gaul, shortly after the murder of Jesus.
Today, in France, belief in the Creator described by Mary Magdelen is all but dead, but a new community of believers has sprung up. It believes the Creator has no son, and that his last prophet was not in fact Jesus but Mohammed.

I am indignant that it is permissible to say that Jesus was not the son of God but it is not permissible to say that Mohammed was never his prophet.
How can such a dual standard be allowed?
Why are the people of France not indignant that such hypocracy is permitted?
I wonder is the Creator, if there is one, not indignant too?
