Would the U.S. be better

[Marthe48]

8. I think God/Jesus represents only good

IMO, Christianity is a dualistic religion. God offers the goodness and the devil offers evil. According to the Bible, humans need to beg God for relief. When enough people beg for change, we'll get it. Not ideal. Not omnipotent. Even so, I have faith God is there, even if I'm skeptical of organized religion.

We're on a dynamic planet. We must change and adapt and respect our physical reality. The majors religions rooted in the major crossroads of the ancient world. So they spread, at least religions I'm familiar with (Eurocentric) I was looking for information about Buddhism, and noticed that all of the major religions have guidelines for how to treat others. It made me think that religion is more like guidelines that help the human species survive, rather than kill itself off, and way back then, when the ideas were introduced, somebody noticed we had to up our game. Maybe God was added to the guidelines to make people more willing to follow the rules.

I don't know if humans have the capacity to keep trying to raise. We have nothing but bad examples for role models right now, and whatever we have within ourselves is going to have to sustain us.
