Relativists beware. Whether you like it or not, truth matters – even in the economy. That’s the core message of Pope Benedict XVI’s new social encyclical Caritas in Veritate.
For 2000 years, the Catholic Church has hammered home a trio of presently-unpopular ideas into the humus of human civilization: that there is truth; that it is not simply of the scientific variety; that it is knowable through faith and reason; and that it is not whatever you want or “feel” it to be. Throughout his entire life, Benedict XVI has underscored these themes, precisely because much of the world, including many Christians, has lost sight of their importance.
Perhaps Caritas in Veritate’s most important truth-claim about economic life is that the market economy cannot be based on just any value-system. Against all relativists on the left and the right, Benedict maintains that market economies must be underpinned by commitments to particular basic moral goods and a certain vision of the human person if it is to serve rather than undermine humanity’s common good: “The economy needs ethics in order to function correctly — not any ethics whatsoever, but an ethics which is people-centred” (CV no.45)
“Without internal forms of solidarity and mutual trust,” the Pope writes, “the market cannot completely fulfill its proper economic function” (CV no. 35). This surely has been amply confirmed by the recent financial crisis. America’s subprime-mortgage market collapse was at least partly attributable to the fact that literally thousands of people lied on their mortgage application forms. Should we be surprised that mass violation of the moral prohibition against lying has devastating economic consequences? “The economic sphere”, the pope reminds us, “is neither ethically neutral, nor inherently inhuman and opposed to society. It is part and parcel of human activity and precisely because it is human, it must be structured and governed in an ethical manner” (CV no.36).
Contrary to the pre-encyclical hype of certain American commentators and the ever-unreliable British press, predictions of papal anathemas against “global capitalism” have – as usual – been found wanting. In economic terms, the pope describes as “erroneous” the tired notion that the developed countries’ wealth is predicated on poor nations’ poverty (CV no.35) that one hears customarily from the likes of Hugo Chavez and whatever’s left of the dwindling band of aging liberation theologians. That’s a pontifical body-blow to a central working assumption of many professional social justice “activists”.
Nor will they be happy with the pope’s concerns about the ways in which foreign aid can produce situations of dependency (CV no.58), not to mention Benedict’s strictures against protectionism (CV no.42) as well as his stress that no amount of structural change can possibly compensate for people freely choosing the good: “Integral human development presupposes the responsible freedom of the individual and of peoples: no structure can guarantee this development over and above human responsibility” (CV no.17).
Nor does Benedict regard the market as morally problematic in itself. “In and of itself,” the Pope states, “the market is not . . . the place where the strong subdue the weak. Society does not have to protect itself from the market, as if the development of the latter were ipso facto to entail the death of authentically human relations” (CV no.36). What matters, Benedict claims, is the moral culture in which markets exists.
At the heart of the economy are human persons. People whose minds are dominated by crassly hedonistic cultures will make crassly hedonistic economic choices. “Therefore”, Benedict comments, “it is not the instrument that must be called to account, but individuals” (CV no.36).
The implications of truth for economic life do not, however, stop here. For Benedict, it is a lens through which to assess ideas such as “business ethics”, “ethical investing” and “corporate social responsibility.” The notion that investment and business choices have a moral dimension is hardly new. What matters for Benedict is the understanding of morality underlying these schemes. Merely labeling an investment scheme as “ethical”, Benedict notes, hardly tells us whether it is moral (CV no.45).
A second major truth underscored by Benedict is the indispensability of a strong civil society for both undergirding and limiting the market and the state. By this, he does not mean a plethora of government-funded NGOs, many of whom Benedict identifies as intent upon imposing some of the very worst aspects of Western lifestyle-libertarianism upon developing nations (CV no.28). Certainly, Benedict believes, there is a need to re-evaluate (CV no.24) how the state regulates different parts of the economy. Ultimately, however, Benedict stresses that the virtue of solidarity, he argues, is about people concretely loving their neighbour; it “cannot therefore be merely delegated to the State” (CV no.38). This is reminiscent of Alexis de Tocqueville’s attention to the manner in which the habit of free association both limits the size of government while also discouraging people from retreating into their own little bubbles.
The economist John Maynard Keynes is famous for many things, including the saying that “in the long run, we’re all dead.” The horizon of Benedict XVI’s perspective on economic life is rather different. The pope asks people to live their economic lives in the short, medium, and long-term as if living in the truth is eternally important, not to mention eternally relevant to their soul’s salvation.
That’s change we can all believe in.

I wish the Pope was a clear about economics as the Scholastics, especially those of Salamanca, were. They were bold in their criticisms of the crown’s abuses of moral principle, especially when the king diluted gold coins with base metals and tried to enforce price limits. Many of them criticized fractional reserve banking. All of them elevated the morality of private property. They found the only “just price” in a free market. Those great scholars provided the foundation for modern capitalism.
I wish the Church would return to its ancient emphasis on the sanctity of property and the evil of envy and covetousness. When people feel their property is safe and secure from theft by other citizens or the state, then they don’t hoard money, but invest it in job creating enterprises. Sound property rights inspires the division of labor that Adam Smith extolled. And as Mises preached, division of labor builds community as we depend upon each other for the things we can’t do or make ourselves. If the Pope wants to build communities, the only proven way to do so is through the division of labor and solid property rights.
And the Pope needs to return to the theme of sound money that the Scholastics preached. In their day, the king would dilute gold coins. In our day, the Federal Reserve dilutes our money by expanding credit via the banking system, but the effect is identical–a destruction via price inflation of the wealth of people who save and a destruction of the standards of living of the poorest people.
The current economics crisis was initiated by immoral manipulation of the money supply by the Fed. Credit expansion caused housing prices to soar and led to all kinds of immoral behavior. Economists have recognized form centuries that price inflation destroys the moral character of the people.
The first people that the Pope needs to call to repentance is the Federal Reserve.

Despite its many good points, the major flaw in this letter is the call for “a true world political authority”, or in other words, One World Government.
The letter talks about the principles of subsidarity, but as we know from the experience of the EU, subsidiarity means that the true world political authority will only allow its Vassal States to have authority over minor unimportant things.
History has shown that once power becomes centralised to this extent, tyranny will follow, as it is not possible to put the right checks and balances in such a power. Who decides on its legal authority? Ultimately, only it can, and thereby hangs the rub.
Nation States are flawed, but their diversity and independence is the best protection that we have against global tyranny.

67. In the face of the unrelenting growth of global interdependence, there is a strongly felt need, even in the midst of a global recession, for a reform of the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth. One also senses the urgent need to find innovative ways of implementing the principle of the responsibility to protect[146] and of giving poorer nations an effective voice in shared decision-making. This seems necessary in order to arrive at a political, juridical and economic order which can increase and give direction to international cooperation for the development of all peoples in solidarity. To manage the global economy; to revive economies hit by the crisis; to avoid any deterioration of the present crisis and the greater imbalances that would result; to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration: for all this, there is urgent need of a true world political authority, as my predecessor Blessed John XXIII indicated some years ago. Such an authority would need to be regulated by law, to observe consistently the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity, to seek to establish the common good[147], and to make a commitment to securing authentic integral human development inspired by the values of charity in truth.
This quote from the Pope’s new encyclical, and others from it, are so bad, I don’t know where to start.
I wish the Popes would stop speaking in official terms in areas that are outside their competency or the authority…or “Charism”…which Christ gave them! An instead, stick to preaching the Gospel. I find what the Pope said in his opinion to be disturbing and offensive in that paragraph.
First of all, the Pope “assumes” that a poor nation should have “an effective voice in shared decision-making”. Says who? I mean, I’m all for looking out for the poor, especially the poor as an “individual”, but the Pope doesn’t even take into an account as to why a country may be poor. Maybe the reason that country is poor is because it’s government is…evil. Maybe it’s run by war lords (Mogadishu comes to mind)…are these same kinds of people then to be allowed to have the same “effective voice” and “decision making” power as nations that aren’t evil, and don’t oppress it’s people?
But the two biggest problems I have with this “opinion” of the Pope, is:
1.) At the very least, he seems not to care who runs these “world organizations”. Does it matter to him if they are run by Muslims, Muslim fanatics, atheist, satan worshippers, Buddhist, New Age liberals? Or does he expect them all to be run strictly by Catholics and with Catholic principals? And at the very most, he seems naive to think that these organizations would neither become corrupt, or be used in an anti-Christ way. The UN is a cesspool of corruption! And even when it’s not being corrupt, it uses funds in anti-Christian ways all the time. Why does he believe that these other world originations, organizations designed to re-distribute the world’s wealth- not less! will be able to do any better?
2.) He seems to have forgotten the teachings of Pope Leo the 13th’s words in Rerum Novarum:
18. In like manner, the other pains and hardships of life will have no end or cessation on earth; for the consequences of sin are bitter and hard to bear, and they must accompany man so long as life lasts. To suffer and to endure, therefore, is the lot of humanity; let them strive as they may, no strength and no artifice will ever succeed in banishing from human life the ills and troubles which beset it. If any there are who pretend differently - who hold out to a hard-pressed people the boon of freedom from pain and trouble, an undisturbed repose, and constant enjoyment - they delude the people and impose upon them, and their lying promises will only one day bring forth evils worse than the present. Nothing is more useful than to look upon the world as it really is, and at the same time to seek elsewhere, as We have said, for the solace to its troubles.
The Pope seems, at least in this paragraph, to think that man is capable of bringing great justice and prosperity to the world on his own, without Christ (refer back to my point number 1 above).
In this opinion of his seems to forget the actual moral and doctrinal teachings of the Church having to do with private property, or a nation’s sovereignty, or, again the teachings of Rerum Novarum that talk about how the government should be as less intrusive on the lives of it’s people as possible. What the Pope suggest here totally contradicts that. The mechanics alone on implementing what he suggests would totally violate that.
The Pope, in my opinion, seems to imply or think that “we” as Catholic individuals, who are earning our wages are not allowed to decide…and discern…where we believe God may want us to use the fruit of our labors. Instead he is saying that our government should take our money away from us and then give it to some other organization, outside of our country, to decide who should get our money.
Lastly, he promotes in this encyclical class warfare by suggesting that if you are wealthy, and someone else is poor…that’s unfair. And his answer to it, for a lack of a better term…is Socialism. Which goes against the Church’s teaching in so many different ways. The Pope actually says in this encyclical that wealth from wealthier nation should be re-distributed to poorer nations. Any way you want to cut it, that’s a form of Socialism.

Nice try, Sam, but the comments already posted betray the truth. This encyclical is the worst thing ever to have happened to the Acton Institute. It totally discredits your approach to the Catholic Social Doctrine, and it is a total rejection of neo-liberal “free-market” ideology. It is hilarious to watch you guys, Novak, and Weigel try to spin this! It is time to decide: are you more loyal to the pope and Catholic Social Doctrine or your economic ideology (i.e., pro-capitalist donors)?

Thanks for showing us how NOT to read and review this encyclical. You are so small minded. You are just as partisan as Weigel’s critique.
Sam Gregg has made some excellent conclusions from the Holy Father’s encyclical.
But this encyclical is so expansive, it is going to take hundreds of more articles to fully treat its many important messages.

No need for name-calling, Stephen. I agree that C in V is expansive, and I agree with Sam regarding the importance of B16’s emphasis on truth, the role of morality in the marketplace, that “life issues” like abortion are social justice issues, etc. This is all great.
Likewise, I have no partisan interest in pretending that the encyclical is “leftist” in secular political terms. B16’s just society grows out of orthodox trinitarian metaphysics which I whole-heartedly share. I am equally critical of attempts on the right and left to make this encyclical fit into a secular framework of political economy.
I am not attempting to “read and review the encyclical.” My comment is simply that Gregg is overlooking the obvious: the encyclical is a very harsh critique of the neo-liberal model of political economy which is promoted by the Acton Institute. I agree with George that it smacks a bit of intellectual dishonestly not to acknowlege that and deal with it. I actually respect Novak and Weigel for at least stating indirectly that the encyclical directly contradicts their own views. I applaud the AI for attempting to “redeem capitalism,” but it is apparent that their approach to that worthy aim has been rejected by B16. At the heart of C in V is a call for enormous work of governments to be involved in “wealth redistribution,” sharing of energy resources, setting up environmental protections, expanding trade unions, and even establishing a “global political authority” with “real teeth” to manage the global economy…

Good analysis overall. But just so we on the “right” avoid any impression of having the defense of capitalism per se or of wealth for its own sake as our goal, rather than defenders ultimately of God’s prerogatives and of what is right, it is not enough to stop at noting only those items in CV which cause unease on the cultural “left”. If we’re honest, we must ask what in the new encyclical causes unsettledness on the “right” as well.
Admitting that there must be constraints on the modern exercise of capitalism and even possibly a worldwide political authority charged with regulating world economy; acknowledging that foreign investments can be immoral if they in any way “use” workers and labor solely as means to an end and acquire wealth without contributing anything of value to that foreign economy and culture; recognizing that sincere Catholics can neither turn their backs entirely on all kinds of governmental “redistribution” schemes (not all wealth redistribution is inherently immoral and some are even needed at times) nor depend on them alone when considering their own obligations in solidarity; conceding that while not the sole cause of some countries’ poverty, exploitation and various new types of imperialism and colonization by the rich countries is indeed all too often a significant and distressing contributor to poorer countries’ lack of development; and, finally, embracing the universal destination of goods and the needs of workers, all are considerations many American Catholics who consider themselves conservatives often fail to be completely enthusiastic about. And doesn’t Benedict come DANGEROUSLY (for “righties”) close to sounding as though an organization such as the U.N. (with all its NGOs) is a good idea and theoretically needed (even if the current U.N. has often failed in practice)?
These needed to be mentioned lest we give, as I fear we may all too often do, the hideous impression we are the defenders primarily of wealth acquisition –itself a good thing — rather than of God’s merciful plan for the world. We are Catholics, not Republicans; we are solidarists before being capitalists.
Peace.

“America’s subprime-mortgage market collapse was at least partly attributable to the fact that literally thousands of people lied on their mortgage application forms.”
Actually, it was allowed with a “wink and a nod” from the lenders, who know the subprime-mortgages were supported by bogus income flows, and little or no downpayments. And these crooks bundled these over-valued loans in derivatives, and passed these along to unsuspecting investors around the World, who know that as long as the housing market remained inflated (because “easy money” mortgage allowed higher than markets prices) their investment was guaranteed by an asset whose value could keep going up. To blame the consumer, without pointing to the true culprits - politicians and money lenders is a crime in itself.

This is another muddled pronouncement that will be as destructive to liberty and freedom as the “seamless garment” has been to unborn babies. It gives justification to the actions of those who like to believe they know better how other people should live and act, rather than focusing on “building” better people. The totalitarians will love this statement of B16 as much as the proabortionest love the cover the “Seamless Garment” statement gave them to continue advocating their position of abortion-on-demand because, after all, they are “prolife” too, they support welfare programs and health care for the “poor” and helping the unfortunate; their “prolife” position “just doesn’t stop at being born.”
Where in the Bible did Christ come to convert and save institutions or governments? What government or political party is going to heaven because they enacted “social justice” laws? What individual is going to heaven for voting for such political parties or governments? None.
Do a better job of building better individuals and you will have better decisions made by individuals. Do a better job instructing Catholics on their “Profession of Faith,” and you’ll have better decision making by those Catholics - unlike now where even half of the US bishops probably voted for Obama, the most socialist president we ever had, and, oh by the way, did you know he supports abortion, as well as infanticide?
Stop with these morally muddled pronouncements.

The irony of Weigel’s critique comes at the end, where he reveals himself to be yet another “pick and choose what you like from the grab bag” American catholic - a demographic he has railed against for years.
“The incoherence of the Justice and Peace sections of the new encyclical is so deep, and the language in some cases so impenetrable, that what the defenders of Populorum Progresio may think to be a new sounding of the trumpet is far more like the warbling of an untuned piccolo. Benedict XVI, a truly gentle soul, may have thought it necessary to include in his encyclical these multiple off-notes, in order to maintain the peace within his curial household. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear will concentrate their attention, in reading Caritas in Veritate, on those parts of the encyclical that are clearly Benedictine, including the Pope’s trademark defense of the necessary conjunction of faith and reason and his extension of John Paul II’s signature theme — that all social issues, including political and economic questions, are ultimately questions of the nature of the human person.”

I am struggling with a question and would like help with it: Am I still a Catholic?
I am supposed to believe the Pope is infallible, but I have disagreements with what this and other encyclicals in the past 100 years said. Can I accept that it is so vague that maybe I don’t really disagree with it? I am a firm believer in the Catholicism taught at Salamanca, with Roger McKinney (above). Did I leave the Church or did the Church leave me?

The Pope is only infallible when he speaks “ex cathedra” (from the chair) on dogmatic issues.
However, encyclicals are firm, instructional documents meant for laity and the clergy. I would encourage you to pray for insight, openness, faith and a renewed sense of charity. Also, consult with good catholic whose opinions you respect or a priest.
God Bless!

Governments and institutions are run by people. To the extent that those people are true to their faith then those governments and institutions will reflect that. So if you were forming a government and believed that “all people were endowed by the creator with inalienable rights” then you would base the government and ensuing laws you enacted on those beliefs. There is no conflict between “social justice” laws and Christianity. The entire American experiment could be called a form of “social justice”. But that justice was based on truth. The problem today is that evil people are trying to hide their acts behind a mask of “social justice” in order to make their acts more palatable. But because they have used term as a covering for evil, doesn’t make the term bad or “social justice” bad. And how can you say that no one is going to hell for voting for those governments (I’m assuming you mean politcal candidates) or political parties? The United States is a gevernment by the people. That means that we are directly responsible for everyone that is in office today. We cannot knowlingy participate in evil, (vote for a pro-abortion candidate), without that having some determination on whether we go to heaven or hell.
If you think about it much of what the Pope speaks about in the enyclical is the way that America used to be. We were a Christian nation and that was reflected in our government and our laws and many of our businesses. We help underdeveloped nations, and when another nation experiences a catastrophe then we send aid.

Me:
I do not Know how Humans made from nonlife, can Know how nonlife began. Nonlife is the Invisible Living Elements that make a Universe, and Planets.
How the Invisible Elements, became Living Life Elements on Planets, and in Spaceships, may never be Known.
With our High Tech, it is Time use Invisible Living Elements, instead of nonlife. Without Living Invisible Elements, Life as we Know it could not Exist.
High Tech has the Answers to the Religious Supernatural Gods, and Myth, and how Life began on Our Home Planet Earth.
The Lord God/Us in Genesis, Created/Colonized Earth, and Created/Reproduced Humans in their Human Image. By High Tech.
Writing and Translating Scripture, and Making a Female from the Male Rib, was Supernatural, to Natural Born Humans.
With High Tech Science today, we do make a Human Fetus in the Lab without the Natural male sex act to the female.
And without Religious objections, Humans could make a Human in a High Tech Womb, instead of Nuclear Bombs. Humans do have Free Will to Choose their Way of Life. Life or Death.
Humans do High Tech Regeneration Operations, and stem cell corrections to Genetic and Physical Defects.
We transplant animal parts, if Human parts are not available. My Great Granddaughter has a Pig valve in her heart. She stayed 3 days in the hospital, and only lost 2 weeks of school.
So what is all this talk about nonlife, and Religious objections to High Tech, when the God/Us in our Human Image, in Genesis, did use High Tech on Earth, ‘in the beginning’.
If a Living Human Peace God be for us, who can be against us? Nonlife? Supernatural Powers? Superstitious, Natural Born Killer Humans?

“It is a force that has its origin in God, Eternal Love and Absolute Truth. Each person finds his good by adherence to God’s plan for him, in order to realize it fully: in this plan, he finds his truth, and through adherence to this truth he becomes free (cf. Jn 8:22).

Jesus’ fetus was not made by Male sex. The Holy Spirit (High Tech Human/s) put Jesus’ fetus into Mary, like we do today. Jesus was also regenerated by High Tech, to go with God/Us (High Tech Humans), up into Space and to their Planet.
Matthew 28:2-6. (Mary Magdalene and the other Mary at Jesus tomb.) “And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”
Our astronauts also wear white garments, and space helmets. There are ancient drawings of figures in spacesuits and helmets, like our Astronauts use for space walks. Purebred Humans would have to wear protection on Earth, because of our Pollution.

How many more Dead and Alive Veterans were involved in WW2, Korea and Vietnam, and all Wars since? How many USA Soldiers are dying today?
All this Human Life that was Living, was used for Killing Other Living Humans.
What is Pro Life about this Killing Lifestyle, since Adam and Eve?
What is Pro Life about all the Starving and Homeless Living Humans?
What is Pro Life about Human Slaves of all Flesh Colors, not just Black.
What will Change Unequal and Inhumane Killer Humans of this Living Life, to a Peace and Equal Sharing Human Lifestyle on Earth?
Belief in a Supernatural God, out there somewhere, has not done it? The Members of Religions, look for Peace After Death in Heaven.
I have listed on Bill’s “Faith Matters” Blog, in Genesis, how God/Us Reproduced Supernaturally Perfect Human Males, and Female Clones made from the Male Rib, in the Image of God/Us.
Why did the Original Perfect Human Clones start Reproducing Imperfect and Inhumane Children in Original Sin?
Why did Fallen Misbred Body Birth Humans, start calling God/Us Supernatural Gods, in fiery chariots, from Space?
Why are Misbred High Tech Humans today, using their Knowledge to make Nuclear Bombs, Toxic Pollution, and now laser weapons, all of mass destruction?
These Questions should be more important to Misbred Living Humans, than who is Religious Human and who is an Atheist Human.
Or, who is Home Schooled and who is not.
Or who gets to be a billionaire, and who is not.
What happened to Jesus’ teachings, of not to Kill, and Share the Resources Equally?
Since Jesus was made God, was this Human Lifestyle of Male Celibacy and Equal Sharing for All, that he taught as the Way of Life, lost or ignored?

During the 1900-1960s, just like Germany, USA and Europe, Russia’s population was largely Christians, who go to War for their Country.

The Atheists population of the World, started picking up in Countries with a Christian Majority, since the 1960s. Even Atheist Countries have Christian Citizens.

I accept the Original Sin of Purebred Adult Humans, not Reproduced by Body Birth, was Misbred Body Birth Children.
Life as we Know it did not Evolve on Earth, but was Colonized by God/Us in Genesis, and Reproduced Humans in their Image, by High Tech Reproduction.
It is Time for the Human Species to Stop being Divided by Male and Female Inequality and Inhumanity, and by Nation and Religion.

Me:
The Perfect Adam and Eve Clones, ’supernaturally’ Reproduced, were Equal Male and Female Helpmeets. They should not Reproduce by Heterosexual Body Birth.
The Original Sin of these Purebred Human Clones was, they Reproduced Genetic and Physical Misbred Children, by Heterosexual Mates.
God/Us in Genesis did not Reproduce Children. The Clones did. Why?
Marriage began, the Ten Commandments were set up, to Control Sexual Disease, and Family Incest. Celibacy began with Monks and Nuns.
These Misbred Body Birth Humans became Killers, Pedophiles, GLBTs, with all types of Genetic and Physical defects. And Children were Reproduced without Wedlock. I like that word.
GLBTs that live together, do not Reproduce Children
The High Tech Science and Sexual Revolutions for the past 100 years, has Changed the Lifestyle of the Human Species.
GLBTs want Equality in Marriage, even though they do not Reproduce Children. They can have artificial insemination, or do the Heterosexual Act to get a child. Why not marriage?
We are up to the High Tech Science ‘in the beginning’, of the Colonization and Cloning Knowledge of the God/Us in Genesis. But, not up to the Cloning of a Female from the Male Rib, or physically going to another Planet.

Church and State.
All down through History, Most Countries had a State Religion.
The Jews had State Religions, along with other State Religions in the Past, in the Mid-East, along with other One God Religions, and Trinity God Religions all over the Planet.
Then the Catholic Religion, after 300, became the State Religion of many countries of Europe and Russia. Protestants Protested.
Protestants left Europe and Started the USA, as a Country Free from a State Religion but Protestantism became the Shadow State Religion.
And today many Right Wing Protestants complain, because Christian Protestant Prayer, Rites. Icons and Holidays has always been the ‘Religion of the USA’.
Inequality of all other Religious Citizens and Atheists, had to participate in Christian Government and Public School Events, or not go until recently, when Christian Prayer was not considered the State Prayer.
All of a sudden, there are 5 Catholic Judges on the Supreme Court. Will Judge Sotomayor be number 6?
Will the Catholic Religion become the State Religion of the USA by law? Will Abortion, Gay Marriage, Other Religious and Atheist Citizens, etc., be affected?
Religions of many Man-Made Gods, has been the History of Planet Earth. At least we Know the Catholic and Protestant Gods are Man-Made Religions.
And Abraham’s descendants made Man-Made Religions also.
Now we have our Home Planet covered in Toxic Pollution, and Nuclear Bombs on Land and Sea, using our Hands to Kill Each Other and our Planet.
When not Killing, Humans keep their hands folded, worshiping all these Gods of our Home Planet. Why?
Should One Planet, have One United Human Society, for All Passengers?

I lived in South K.C. since 1955, and am familiar with the area of this K.C. Star article. I have lived in K.C. North for 9 years, and did not know about this Religious Movement, IHOP. Wow! IHOP stands for International House of Prayer.

“Bickle says he’s heard God’s voice. And that he’s been to heaven. Twice. - His brand of Christianity relies heavily on the Book of Revelation and a sense of urgency that the Rapture is near.”
“When Jesus returns to make war against his enemies and marches into Jerusalem, Bickle preaches, “untold millions will die in the wake of his righteous, loving judgments.”
All these teachings of War and Killing connected with God and Jesus is not the Peace God/Us and Jesus I accept in Scripture. Why do Humans accept God/Us and Jesus as Killers? Deceived by Satan? They taught Peace and ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill’.
It is Time to translate Scripture and Myth with our High Tech Science Knowledge to separate the Peace God/Us in Genesis is not the Killer God in Genesis and many other ‘Books’/Writings, considered Biblical or Religious Scriptures and Myths.
Most Religious Writings, since the Planetary Flood, are the History of the High Tech Killer Society of Noah/Atlantis.
Humans on our Planet are today, Religious or Atheists, and are Killers like the High Tech World Before the Flood.
Earth’s History and Religion are mixed up in Science and Myth. It is up to our High Tech Society today, to Translate all the Past Knowledge on Earth, about Religion, Myth, and High Tech Science, about the High Tech Purebred Peace God, and the Body Birth Misbred Killer Gods.
Truth of Human High Tech Eternal Physical Life After Birth is needed, Before this Last Fallen High Tech Society blows up Planet Earth with their Nuclear Bombs, and sets a Planetary Fire to our Home Planet, with our Toxic Pollution on land and sea.
Eternal Human Life is for Living High Tech Purebred Human Clones, After Birth, on Planets and in Spaceships. Eternal Life is Not for Body Birth Mates with Generation Birth, Death, and Rebirth, until they destroy their Planet’s Eco System and All Life on it.

“What is our national motto? “In God We Trust.”
Me:
The USA was supposed to be a Country Free from a State Religion like Europe, so Protestants, Catholics, Jews, and any other Religion had Freedom from a Government Religion.
The Christian Protestant Majority did work God into Government, and made Christian Holidays about Jesus, celebrated by Federal and State Governments.
All types of Icons are on Federal Buildings in the Capital, and in Capital Buildings in the States. The Ten Commandments were normal additions, and Christian Prayer was normal in Federal and State Ceremonies, with ‘In Jesus’ Name Amen’. God said ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill’ according to many Religious teachings. But Human Killing continues in the USA.
The Pledge of Allegiance was made a Government Pledge, and in late 40s or early 50s, during my daughter’s time in Grade School, ‘under God’ was added.
This does not have any Protestant meaning for God, but it does put Love of Country above any God. And Human Killing continues.
Christians, and other Religious Citizens, and I imagine Atheists are ‘proud’ to put their hand over their heart when repeating this. This is supposed to Unite All Citizens to Love of Country. And Human Killing continues.
So ever since the USA was a Government, Equal for All Citizens, some way or another a Generic God was added to Government, for All Citizens, Religious or Atheists. And Human Killing continues.
So what is Beneficial for Humans in the USA or any Country on our Home Planet, to have a Religious Generic God in their Government? Humans still Kill Humans.
All Humans, Religious or Atheist, Kill Each Other and their Home Planet. Most Religions have a Killer God.
Is there also a Killer God that does not Care if Humans Kill Each Other, and All Life on their Home, that is the Ruler God of Earth?
Was there ever a Peace God on Earth? What happened to the Peace God/Us in Genesis, in our Human Image, that walked and talked with Adam and Eve?
It is Time to Search All Scripture and Myth, with High Tech Colonization Knowledge, to find out how the Adam and Eve Perfect Peace Humans, turned into Cain Killer Humans by Body Birth, ‘in the beginning’ of Life as we Know it, on our Home Planet Earth.

“Any individual or organization sending out notices that say “Jews killed Christ” and “God hates Jews” should be considered dangerous at a minimum. This venom must be called what it is — hate.”
adamh (yesterday).
“And Red Biddy, you obviously don’t even understand the point about the scientific method. Atheism is in no way a science, and relies on unverifiable and unfalsifiable claims. - So, yes, atheists do have something to prove. For their position to be rational, it must be demonstrable that all existence can be explained by mindless processes.
They can not, of course, do this.”
Red Biddy (yesterday).
“So if this cannot be demonstrated does this mean, in your view, that all existence could be explained if it is proved there is a mindful process, i.e. God ?
As I said before the onus of proving that God exists is ENTIRELY in your court.”
Me:
So how do Humans explain the scientific method of all existence? Using a Generic Word ‘God’ has worked for past centuries.
Today, with High Tech, Humans do Know about the Atom and ElectroMagnetic Force Elements, that make the Universe and Life as we Know it on Planets. Who made them?
‘God’, or Unknown Source, or Big Bang, The Big Deep, or anything Science or Religion calls it, or GOD as I call it?
Nothing Physical on Earth, can explain this Source of Universes and Life Species, except to say ‘God’. How many different versions of GOD are there?
Humans can Know Life on Earth, in Genesis, was Colonized by High Tech Humans, called God/Us. They Reproduced the Adam and Eve Clone Colony in their Human Image.
These Clone Adam and Eve Humans lost their High Tech Science Reproduction, and Body Birth Children, Families, Religions, and Death, etc., began.
Humans have been Dividing and Killing Each Other Ever Since, for their Interpretation of a Supernatural Generic God, who are our Ancestors from Space, in our Human Image.
Humans today, do have the ‘Supernatural’ Knowledge of Colonizing a Planet, and Reproducing Human Fetus’ and Cloning animals in the Lab.
With a High Tech Translation of Scripture and Myth, the Supernatural Acts of Human God/Us in Genesis, can be Known. They are not the GOD of the Elements and the Universes.

Until Humans translate Religious and Myth Supernatural Writings, Literally with High Tech, there can be No Peace on Earth
Humans can fly in the air, and live in an international space station above the Planet, with Religious or Atheists Astronauts/Angels.
Astronauts Live the Lifestyle taught by Jesus: Males to be Celibate, and all Males and Females Share the Resources Equally.
God/Us in Genesis, Supernaturally Reproduced, ‘in their image’, the Female from the Male Rib, by High Tech. They were Equal Caretakers of Spaceship Earth, like the Astronauts are of their spaceship.
With High Tech Reproduction and Regeneration, God/Us, Male and Female, have Eternal Physical Life After Birth on Planets and in Spaceships.
When Purebred Adam and Eve Reproduced Misbred Children, Unequally Male and Female, Competition and Inhumanity between Humans began.
Division of Body Birth Humans, with Genetic and Physical Disease began.
Result: Inequality of Earth’s Resources, Hate, Killing and Death.
Generation Birth, Death, and Rebirth began, with Religion, Government, Marriage and Divorce, Fornication, Pedophiles, BLGT, and Divided Organizations.
Brother/Sister began Abusing and Killing Each Other and their Home Planet.
Our Earth Home Atmosphere/Ozone Canopy, Land, and Sea are Polluted
Should Religion continue being discussed, while Humans use their High Tech for Killing Each Other with Pollution and Evil Nuclear Bombs?
What Good has come from Human Hands, folded in God Worship on Earth, while our Human Hands are Killing all Life on Earth, for their many Gods?

Health Care. It is possible to turn in, that you do not want any help from machines, to Doctors and Hospitals, while you are mentally alert, and they put in on your records.
Why spend all the resources and money on extending second or third, hand Life of the Ill, that are Dying, instead of for improving the Health of the Living?
Who really wants to keep being brought back when you are old, for more of the same?
Humans should also have forms to sign, for when they get Alzheimer’s, with euthanasia, and prevent pain and misery to the family. What is more Human, for patient and family to have Good memories of loved ones?
The Religious Mindset of Humans, to accept Death as not the end, because Life does go on with Generation Birth, Death and Rebirth, until they destroy their Planet.
Religions teach about a Judgement Day, when Alive Humans will be Judged, not the dead. The Alive Humans Saved will go to a New Planet, with High Tech Birth and Regeneration.
How better to explain Death than with High Tech, that the Dead Elements of past Humans are used over on a Planet, to make Alive New Humans?
With High Tech Birth, and High Tech Regeneration, Alive Peace Caretaker Clone Humans like God/Us, can have Eternal Physical Life on Planets and in Spaceships.
The Human Peace Clone Adult Life, Born Supernaturally in Genesis, was not Born by Body Birth, Death, and Rebirth.
The Perfect Born Human Peace Clones began having Body Birth Killer Children.
Generation Birth, Death, and Rebirth has been the Human Lifestyle on Earth ever since.
There is a Human Clone Peace Society, that does have Eternal Physical Life After Birth, on Planets and in Spaceships, called God/Us in Genesis, and Jesus is Alive with them.
If Death does happen to them, they have the High Tech to Regenerate that person, or make a new Clone from their stored Genetic Elements.
Birth, Death and Rebirth is for Earthbound Killer Body Birth Humans.
Eternal Physical Life After Birth, is possible for the God/Us High Tech Clone Peace Human Race, on Planets and in Spaceships.
The Bible, Scriptures and Myth tells us so, with a High Tech Translation.

“Yesterday: Delores said, “Body Birth made 7 billion Killer Humans on Earth since 1900. Why overpopulate the Planet? God is not in control. Humans Are. - Iggy to Susan:”The argument is always “god’s word” was perverted, misunderstood, sin stood in the way, etc.”
Me:
All writings of Religion and Myth, through many translations, still has the Original High Tech Knowledge in it, when translated by High Tech Science.
Genesis 1:26a-27a. KJV. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:. - And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it;”
I accept Verse 27a., was added by Body Birth Humans when they translated these writings. How would they Know Humans could Reproduce a female from the male rib by High Tech?
When Humans Search the Scriptures and Myth with a High Tech Science Translation, that we have today, the High Tech Science in these writings will be easy to separate, as to High Tech Humans or Natural Humans..
Atlantis is recorded as Myth, but it was a High Tech Human Society like we are today. Many of the writings in the accepted Christian Bible have their High Tech Science that also were about the Noah/Atlantis Society before the Planetary Flood.
We have High Tech Humans today, and still some natives that still live without High Tech, but Humans with High Tech have retaken most of the usable land on Earth.
Atlantis split down the middle and sank. Planet Earth was all one land mass at Colonization. It also split down the middle as shown on our flat maps, and sank.
If Saved Humans passed on this Knowledge about Atlantis, what did Humans call it? Supernatural? Noah and Atlantis, were the same past event in the History of Life on Earth.
Today we also Know how to Colonize Planets, and would go by the Steps/Days in Genesis. So what is Supernatural about Colonization, to High Tech Humans today?
What is Supernatural today, about making a Human Perfect Fetus in the High Tech lab, without sex to the female?
With High Tech Womb Perfect Reproduction, Defective Human Body Birth would be a Sin.

” In 1980, the Arab region had 150 million people. In 2007, it was home to 317 million people, and by 2015 its population is projected to be 395 million. Some 60 percent of this population is under the age of 25, and they will need 51 million new jobs by 2020.”
Me:
This is an example of the population explosion from 1 billion people in 1900, to almost 7 billion today. This is a problem worldwide, and if something is not done about Uncontrolled Pleasure sex, how much more population can our Planet support.
There are millions of starving and homeless people already. Will it take a Nuclear War to do away with the Overload of Passengers on our Home Planet?
We are almost our of land area for Humans to live on. We are building High Rise Buildings to live in. A lot of the area for food growing is getting ruined.
War would be easier to do away with Humans, like in the Past? Even with the Revolution and Civil War, and other Wars in the USA, and the Planet, the population has escalated.
War is easier to control population, than trying to tell the Humans in a Please Sex Explosion, to have Safe Sex, or tie their reproductive tubes, to Prevent Pregnancy.
Celibacy, and Nunneries have not Controlled the Population.
Since the 1940s, all types of Preventives for Pregnancy has resulted, but has not slowed down the Human Birth Explosion.
It would help if all Christian Males would follow Jesus and practice Celibacy, like he and the males of his movement did. But that would not work if the rest of the World kept on Reproducing. It would just do away with Christians.
The Jews and Arabs, who also have the Same One God/Us in Genesis, do not have a person like Jesus in their religion, that taught about Male Celibacy, and was made part of the Godhead.
Many Religions around the Planet have Celibate Monks and Nuns. Where did these teachings come from? After the Adam and Eve Male and Female Clone Colony were Reproduced Supernaturally, not Reproduced by Body Birth, they started Reproducing Defective Children, ‘in the beginning’ of Life on Earth?
So where does the Human Race go to from here? Go Celibate and Reproduce Humans in the High Tech Lab, as needed?
Or, Continue Toxic Pollution of their Home Planet and Ozone Canopy, and Eco System, and a Nuclear Planetary War, that will Kill us All anyway?
And our Earth Home will be a Dead Planet like Mars.

Counting how many people belong to a certain religion does what? Cause more Human problems and divisions, from Competitions to Who has the Best God?
Where did God come from? Before Humans were on our Earth, null and void?
How many different Gods were there in the Past, and how many are there today?
Why do Humans need Gods to Worship, instead of using their Minds and Hands to Take Care of their Home Planet? Why are Humans building Temples of wood, brick and stones to God, and not Taking Care of Gods Temple, Planet Earth, which is dying?
Now that we have High Tech ‘Super’ Natural Knowledge, is ‘Supernatural’ as important today, as it was to Natural Humans?
Such as Creating Life on a Planet, and Creating a Female from the Male Rib?
Like Gods and Angels flying up in the air in fiery chariots, and Gods and Angels appearing and talking to Humans, face to face. Did this mean literally face to face?
And Human, Jesus, going up into the air and out into Space with the Father of Life on Earth? Was this Father a Human also, that walked, and talked to Humans face to face?
So are Gods literal Humans or Spirits?
And the God of Christians, the Majority of Humans on Earth at this time, is Three Persons in One God, Father (Human or Spirit), Son a Human, and Holy Spirit, a Spirit?
So does counting Religious Humans make the Majority God on Earth, the Real God? Or is the Real God of All Religions, the Same One Living God, ‘in our Human Image’, in Genesis?

‘How about live as a X in the real world and try to get along in all of society instead of just the X society.”
Me:
These teachings of being separate from the rest of the world, came from Jesus’ Movement of Celibate Males that were not to Live as the Heterosexual Male lived.
This was not a new idea with Jesus. At his time there were the Essens Communes. And other Holy Celibate Males/Monks that lived separate from Society.
300 years later, Instead of separating from the Jewish and Roman Society, the Jewish and Roman Christians, began another Religion. It did not include Male Celibacy like Jesus taught.
We still have Monks, Priests and Nuns that live in Separate Housing. But Christian Heterosexual Humans cannot live separate from the rest of the world. They make up the larger percentage of Humans.
And Celibate Humans came from Heterosexual Birth, as well as GLBTs.
Jesus’ fetus was artificially inseminated into Mary, by the Holy Spirit. Other Sons in the Christian Bible, were also inseminated into Barren Females by God or Angels.
We do artificial insemination today, by High Tech Science/the Holy Spirit. And also Clone animals. All this Supernatural Cloning and Birth, in Scripture and Myth is not supernatural today.
Are Humans going to accept the Supernatural in Religion and Myth was High Tech Science? Will we start Translating All Scripture and Myth with High Tech?
And find the Truth of High Tech Eternal Human Asexual Physical Male and Female Clone Life, After Birth, on Planets and in Spaceships? Like God/Us and the Angels, in our Image?
Or, Keep Killing Each Other and our Home Planet, no matter our Sexual or Religious preference, until Life as we Know it cannot Exist on Earth?

The Universe and Planets are the Temple of the ONE GOD. How many parts of this GOD are in the Gods of Earth?
Acts 17:22-25. KJV. “Then Paul stood in the midst of Mar’s hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an alter with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath and all things;
And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and bounds of their habitation;”
Me:
This Unknown GOD in verse 23, is the Force, not a Human, that made the Universe of Elements Seen and Unseen. GOD is not a Human Person made from the Elements.
The God in verse 24 is the God/Us, our Human Ancestors, in Genesis that Colonized Earth.
From all the Gods on Earth, we are like the people of Athens. Our cities are full of the temples of the many Man-Made Gods on Earth today.

Truth Matters.
Genesis, a Human record of Life on Earth, does have High Tech Science Knowledge, Translated as Supernatural by Natural Humans, without High Tech Knowledge.
Religious Writings, and the Myth of High Tech Atlantis, etc., have Supernatural/High Tech Knowledge.
Science, has Solved the Mysteries of the the Universe Elements, Visible and Invisible, that make Life as we Know it.
The Source of these Elements of LIFE is not known. No Human God, in our Human Image, could make these Elements. High Tech should be used to Solve these Mysteries.
Humans in God’s Image can fly up in the air and out into Space. Humans can Reproduce a Human Fetus in the Lab, but so far have not reproduce a Human without Body Birth, like God did in Genesis.
Human Energy, and Resources on Earth, are used for Evil Pollution, and Killing Each Other and our Home Base Planet, with our High Tech.
Why not use our Resources for Good High Tech Eternal Physical Life After Birth?
What Good does it do for Earth, to keep counting the Members of Religious Organizations, and then Killing Members of Religious Organizations, and All Life?
What happened to God telling Humans to Share the Earth’s Resources, and Take Care of All Life Species on Earth, and our Home Planet?

“Especially since 9/11, people have been trying to figure out the minds of terrorists. What makes them tick? Why do they do what they do? -
Finally, they dehumanize their victims by objectifying them into ’savages’ or ’satantic fiends,’ or assigning them to other categories that render them incapable of suffering or responsive only to brute force.”
This is what President G.W. Bush Government, did to Saddam Hussein after 9/11.
A group in the 1990s were involved with Pre-emptive War. And some, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Pearle, were part of Bush’s Cabinet.
Dick Cheney was part of Jimmy Carter’s Government, and was involved with the Fall of the Shaw of Iran. Cheney also picked himself as Vice President.
I accept Cheney was the Power behind the throne of President G.W. Bush.
All the costs of the war, were not so much for the soldiers equipment, as to build the massive U.S. Embassy Green Zone Military Complex with all the padding of costs by contractors.

There cannot be Human Religious Harmony on Earth, anymore than there can be Government Harmony. Humans are Divided by Generation Birth, Death, and Rebirth.
In Genesis God/Us were High Tech Male and Female Clone Helpmeeets, not Mates, that Reproduced Adam and Eve Clones. Earth was Colonized by these Perfect Humans, with High Tech Eternal Physical Life After Birth.
The Purebred Human Clone Colony, made Human Unequal Body Birth Mates, and Body Birth Human Children began Sacrificing/Killing Humans and their Earth Home.
Sacrifice Body Birth results: Human Genetic and Physical Birth Defects, Hate, Division, Fornication, GLBTs, Pedophiles, Many Religions/Governments, Pollution, Killing, Wars, Nuclear Bombs, etc.
Our Dying Earth is the Result of Human Sacrifices, instead of Caretaking.
Earth is a Spaceship, for Harmony and Equal Sharing of Resources, like in Spaceship Living in the ISS. .
The Lifestyle Quest today, is for our Generation to learn to Live on our Earth Spaceship, with Equality and a Sharing Lifestyle After Birth, before we Sacrifice our Whole Planet.

All the back and forth about Creation Science and Evolution. Which came first on Earth?
Since the 1800s when Evolution was brought into focus, the two Theories are getting nowhere with our High Tech Science for the past 100 years.
In the mid 1900s, Scientists projected Colonizing a Planet. Why was it ignored? With High Tech Spaceships, Human could Colonize other Planets like Earth.
Creation Science and Intelligent Design both involve High Tech Science. So why not just call it High Tech Colonization, and try to prove if that ‘was’ how Life on Earth was Created?
The Challenge between Evolution and High Tech Colonization could come to terms with Evolution happening on another Planet, and those High Tech Humans, God/Us in Genesis, Colonizing Earth.
How the Elements came into Being, is impossible by Human Beings made from the Elements, even with High Tech Science.
Who or What made the Universe and Planets would be beyond anything Humans could Solve, since they are made from the Elements of Visible and Invisible Life, in Space and on Planet Earth.
It is past time, to call this a God and a Holy Spirit like Religion has. GOD has nothing to do with God/Us in Genesis that Created Life on Earth and Reproduced Male and Female Humans in their Human Image, recorded as supernatural by Humans without High Tech.
Humans today, do make a Human Fetus in the Lab in our Image, and Clone Animals today. This was impossible for Humans without High Tech Science 100 years ago.
The Religious Eternal Human Life, is for the Living High Tech Humans after Birth, on Planets and in Spaceships, like God/Us in Genesis, in our Image that came to Earth.

Truth of GOD/LIFE Matters.
Ever since Purebred Adam and Eve Humans Reproduced Misbred Humans, they have been Killing Each Other and their Home Planet.
Society today does reproduce a Human Fetus in the Lab. So it is not impossible to reproduce Human Life on a Planet by High Tech, as did God/Us in Genesis 1, 2., in their Human Image.
So what have Christians and Religious Children of a Religious God, and GOD/LIFE, learned from Wars and Rumors of Wars, since WW2, 70 years ago?
Allegiance to Country before their Religious God and GOD/LIFE? Does being a Conscientious Objector to War mean standing up for a Religious God or GOD/LIFE?
Or going to jail for your God belief, like Cassius Clay/Ali Mohammad did in WW2?

(A Meeting in a Church) “a way for people of faith to hear from other people of faith about how their own faith traditions inform their thinking about health care.”
How many faith traditions inform humans about their health care? Most are about their Life After Death in Heaven, where all will be Alive in Perfect Bodies. No pain, sorrow, crying, etc. Only Peace, Equal Sharing, and Happy.
Why not teach this on Earth, like Jesus did, with Equal Sharing of Resources for All members in his Celibate Male Movement?
Do Religions teach Members, and people of faith hear from other people of faith, about their Government Health Care?
Are most members of faith, from the different Parties of Government, that each have a different Health Care Plan? Would this cause dissent among Church Members?
Which Government Party gives Equality to All Citizens, Religious or Atheists, Rich or Poor? Only Retired Humans get Equal Coverage from the Government, and then they can also pay more premium and get better Care than Other Citizens. Why?

God did not make all the different sexes, Humans did through Body Birth Reproduction.
In Genesis, God/Us Cloned Humans in their Image, no Children.
God/Us Reproduced the Female from the Male Rib, and made Equal Asexual Male and Female Clone Helpmeets. They were 2 distinct sexes, but One Genetic and Physical Soul Mate.
With High Tech Regeneration, Either Celibate male or female could be used to repair each other if accidents happened. And if one accidentally died, a new Clone of either sex could be Reproduced.
High Tech Reproduced Human Equal Male and Female Clone Helpmeets, do have Eternal Physical Life After Birth on Planets and in Spaceships.
This is the Only Way for the High Tech Human Species, to have One Soul Helpmeet for Eternal Physical Life After Birth. Fallen Body Birth Humans keep looking for their Other Half or Soul Mate, with different Genetics.
Not possible with Body Birth. So they have sex with other Heterosexual males and females, or GLBTs, all looking for the Fulfillment of their Soul Mate.
Instead of using High Tech for Better Humans, Body Birth Multi-sexual Humans made Atomic and Nuclear Bombs, by dividing the Atoms. Instead of joining the atom in Fusion High Tech, they made Toxic Waste,
The Gospel Truth is, Earth was Colonized by High Tech Clone Humans. This High Tech Knowledge in Genesis, can be Proved with our High Tech Science today.
We are experimenting on Cloning Humans and Animals, and Colonizing Planets with our Spaceships.
What else should High Tech be used for, except for blowing up a Home Planet?
Eternal Physical Life is for the Living Humans After High Tech Perfect Birth, on Planets and in Spaceships.

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance
This Pledge was written in the 1890s and was made part of Government in 1942.
Citizens need to work on Equality of Jobs for All. Why do some jobs pay billions of dollars, and some pay minimum wage? Because God makes Unequal Humans? Or do Humans make Unequal Humans? Who is in charge of Planet Earth?
http://www.commonwealmagazine.org/blog/?p=2189
Similar comments are still going on in all phases of Life on Earth, not just in the USA. The Past History of Earth is Inequality of All Brothers/Sisters of LIFE. Why?
The Original Sin of the Perfect Peace Humans that God made ’supernaturally’, who then began Reproducing Imperfect Killer Humans, by Body Birth?
What other example for Sin, is there. Just Disobeying does not work. Disobeying How? By taking over Reproduction from God?
With our High Tech today, we Know Humans in a High Tech Lab can correct Genetic and Physical Mistakes that Humans get from Body Birth. So Body Birth is the Original Sin to make Defective Genetic and Physical Humans?
Or, did God make Defective Humans when he made the female from the male rib?
With out High Tech today, we do ‘Create’ a Human fetus in the lab, and with a High Tech Womb could reproduce a Human Being. Was this Possible ‘in the beginning’ by God/Us, in our Human Image, that reproduced a Female from the Male Rib?
Sound like High Tech today, instead of the ‘Supernatural’ of 100 years ago?
Should our Unequal Birth Labor Day Celebration, start looking for Ways to make High Tech Birth Life more Equal for All?

A comment:
“We should live in the real world and promote science. - It is strange the notions some people get attached to.”
I live in the real world, and promote High Tech Science Human Eternal Physical Life After Birth on Planets and in Spaceships. But everyone thinks it is strange the notions I get attached to.
Why is God/Us, High Tech Science Humans, in our Image, Colonizing Planets and traveling in Spaceships, strange notions for Humans in the past, and for Humans in the present?
We Reproduce a Human Fetus in the lab, why not finish the job in a High Tech Womb? Impossible? God/Us in Genesis made Human Females, supernaturally from the Male Rib. Were they Physical Human ‘Beings’ or Spirit ‘Beings’, in our Human Image?
Were the Adam and Eve Clones, Real People or Spirits? Are Humans on Earth descendant from Spirit ‘Beings’ or Human ‘Beings?
Are Religious Scriptures and Myth about Spirit ‘Beings’, and was their Science Fiction in that Civilization, like we have Science Fiction about Space Humans today?
Or is Religious Scriptures and Myth about real Human Beings, that Supernaturally Colonized Earth in Spaceships?
Was Scripture and Myth Human Fiction Writings, and Life on Earth Evolved the last 100 years, up to our High Tech Science today Real Truth Writings?
“It ‘is’ strange the notions some people get attached to.”

Do Fundamental Christians, ever teach how Jesus, a Celibate Jew, had a Celibate Male Movement Lifestyle of Equal Sharing of their Resources? Then 300 years later, how was this Handed Down Information used, to make Jesus part of a Trinity God?
Jesus a Jew of One God Beliefs, was declared Equal to the Three ‘Persons’ of the Godhead, of Father, Son and Holy Spirit by Romans.
This was not in the Jewish Holy Scriptures. But Jesus was made a Trinity God, by Man-Made Creeds.
A New Bible was put together over time, called the Old Testament and the New Testament. Printing was invented, and these Holy Bibles, depend on what books are included, depending on the different Divisions of Christianity. Which Denomination has the Truth of God?

How many different Religions on Earth accept the Book of Genesis?
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/first/scriptures.html
After 2000 years of the Christian Religion, it is Time to Translate the ‘Supernatural’ Events in the Bible, with our High Tech Science today.
Simple answers to complex questions: ‘High Tech Colonization’, ‘High Tech Human Cloning’, A ‘High Tech Lab Complex’ in the Garden of Eden, etc., for New Translations today.
The Supernatural in Religion and Myth is not ’super’natural today. So Why should Genesis Writings, and all Scripture and Myth, still be translated as supernatural Gods instead of High Tech Astronauts?

When are Humans eyes to open to see the Last Days Holocaust, the Planetary Fire Holocaust Humans have set up on our Home Planet?
Where did the LIFE Elements come from to make our Universe? Can Humans, made from the Elements, Know their Origins? Evolution, or Supernatural Creation Science?
Where Do Humans Go when we die Physically? Back to Elements?
With High Tech Science, Humans do Know we are made Visible Life, from Invisible LIFE Elements.
When Visible Life Dies, the Atoms/Body decay back into ‘Dirt’. But where does the Soul/ElectroMagnetic Elements go? Back into our atmosphere? Do Humans Know?
When the Universe Elements get out of Balance, they implode into a Black Hole. Black Holes do reexplode to keep Life as we Know it, Eternal, on Planets, with High Tech Human Travel.
Today’s High Tech Humans are tying up Earth’s Life Elements, in a Population Explosion.
And Nuclear Waste, that does not decay to be used again.
What will happen to our Eco System when it gets too many Elements tied up, in unnecessary Waste? That is why our Ozone Canopy is thinning.
Humans have Overpopulated our Land area, that is turning the Land area into deserts.
Why is our Nuclear Waste stacking up on our Planet, and Overpopulation of Humans are running out of Land for Dumps? What is Wrong with the Human Species?
Will High Tech Evolution Humans End Up, by making Earth’s Surface a Fire Pit Holocaust?
Did Perfect Humans the High Tech God made, Fall, and now Evolved Again, up to High Tech, and are making Earth’s Surface a Fire Pit Holocaust?
Let there be Peace on Earth, and let it begin with ‘Who’? Christians? Atheists? Any Human? Or, by the return of an Earth Man-Made Human Peace God?
Is ‘Life’ After Death, Somewhere Else, where Humans will find Peace from their Man-Made Planetary Holocaust?

I do not Know how to tie in Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, etc., from Myth into High Tech Science today.
These Myths were writings about the Planets, by the High Tech Noah/Atlantis Society and then translated by Humans without High Tech.
A High Tech translation of Myths, may reveal their Past Knowledge of the Planets, and if they were in Contact with the other Planets, before the Planetary Flood.
Our efforts in the late 1900s, to Contact other Life with radio signals, so far have made no Contact. We also sent out Space Probes.
The Books, after Genesis, used in the Christian Old Testament, were about the Lifestyle of the Killer Atlantis/Noah Society before the Flood.
Humans today, with our High Tech Science Knowledge of Colonization and Clone Reproduction, are still arguing over how Life began on Earth, and which God is the Real GOD.
Humans are busy making more and more Man-Made Religions, and translating the Bible the same Way, handed down by Generation Birth, Death, and Rebirth.
And arguing over Supernatural Creation or Evolution. But No High Tech Colonization in the Past, only for today.
The High Tech Clones Helpmeet Humans, not made by Body Birth, did start Reproducing by Body Birth. Their High Tech was lost, and all the Human Problems began, with Hate and Killing, and a Planetary Flood. Pagan Man-Made Religions, continue to be Made today.
Only Today, Humans Can Kill Our Home Planet, for the Last Time, with our Pollution, Nuclear Waste and Bombs on land and sea, and a Planetary Fire, that will stop our Killer Society from succeeding in Space, like the Noah/Atlantis High Tech Society was stopped.
The Planet is loaded with Churchs and Humans that say they Love God. What kind of Morals and Love do Humans have on Earth, to Kill Each Other and their Home Planet?
