It's concerning how many people would be out raping and killing if an instruction guide hadn't told them not to.

"Murderer"? Who decides what criteria designates one as such; the same that determines 'one man's terrorists is another's freedom fighter'?

The one thing that my Faith truly enables, is a potential to love my fellow beings - ESPEICALLY the 'irredeemably' bad ones; incurable and dangerous sociopaths for the duration - solely resting on my CHOSEN belief that they/their current experience...may indeed CHANGE their belief/action in the hereafter. Outside of that belief/possibility...just what should determine my reaction to these folk? Given the limitation and therein value/commodity of 'time'...it would be ludicrous and wasteful to even consider tolerance of such people...love for them, altogether out of the question.

Bottom line. No prosperity outside of God Paradigm, IMO. If we take the Belief of both the potential for future prosperity out of the psychological equation - given obvious and profound inequality - WHAT do we replace it with, as a motivating power toward maintaining civil society? Egalitarian Ideology and Authoritarian Socialism promises...which in effect punishes moral/productive achievers and rewards the opposite, therein? Good luck with beating down those moral/productive 'achievers' into submission and rewarding what is essentially suicidal impracticality, immorality, if not evil. Herding the ignorant is easy...herding the smart and strong...another animal altogether. Won't happen for long; Antifa and BLM are NOT the strong and productive. Mother Nature will kick it back to default.

Interesting.
