Hand of God or Fist of Man?

Post #1

P1. As for chaos - I consider that it does exist, history shows many examples of it's existence but you choose to ignore it, and that's ok.

P2. As I continue to remove the thick and sticky Religion/Politics and Culture from the Message, the news is all good.

Is the "hand of GOD" involved in the religion and politics of human beings, or is it all just a matter of fate.
Or is it a staged con engineered by human mindfulness?

Now that these shots have rung out, if GOD has a hand in it, how should we expect the ripple effect to unfold?

God does not endorse hatred, false allegations, and murder, but the wicked like Muslims and US democrats do.
Are you telling me that all US Democrats and US Muslims are evil?

I am saying that the democrat party supports and promotes wickedness, as does Islam. You can draw your own conclusions from that.

I think that some people mix their politics up with their religious beliefs in to some kind of mumbo-jumbo.

When people ignore the Mosaic laws which demanded that all people should be cared for, then I know that they are lost. And those that insist that Jesus redacted those 'poor laws' are certainly lost!

Jesus also warned, again and again, against following mammon, more money, more of everything, yet some people ignore that as well.

Recently I watched a video which focused on the 15 top most banned songs one of which was Pink Floyds "Money" which was banned in America because it was thought to be critical of "The American Way" an interesting observation.

More recently (yesterday) I wrote a paper regarding the recent Stargate Project which America (through D. Trump support that the mega rich are initiating with an investment of $500 billion) pointing out the following.
The Stargate Initiative represents an unprecedented opportunity not just to redefine technology but to reimagine the foundational structures of our civilization. With its audacious $500 billion investment and the promise of AGI-enabled solutions to humanity’s greatest challenges, it’s tempting to view this as simply the next evolutionary leap for technology. But in truth, this vision must extend beyond technological advancements into the very fabric of our value systems—beyond money itself. Without this critical evolution, the potential for failure could cast a shadow over even the most extraordinary accomplishments.

Money (mammon) itself does not equate to A System of Parity but could be used to help achieve such a thing, if the incentive were not simply to make more mammon.
