And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.

Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they're finished.

Human beings are very unbalanced and prone to go off on tangents. in every area of life- with too great emphasis on one thing, leaving out another important thing altogether. none of us will ever be perfectly balanced in our spiritual lives, our intellectual lives, our emotional lives, our family lives, in relationships with other human beings, or in our business lives. but we are challenged to try, with the help of god. we are meant to live in the scriptures.

In all of my universe i have seen no law of nature, unchanging and inexorable. this universe presents only changing relationships which are sometimes seen as laws by short-lived awareness. these fleshy sensoria which we call self are ephemera withering in the blaze of infinity, fleeting aware of temporary conditions which confine our activities and change as our activities change. if you must label the absolute, use its proper name: temporary.

In one question you are expressing a world of opinion. because it is you who thinks that america has been mistakenly starting these conflicts. i happen to agree with you, and i will repeat what your question suggested...we have mistakenly gotten into one fracas after another. why we do that [united states has insisted on keeping up a string of enemies, and the wars associated with creating those enemies], i think it's because we're afraid to look in the mirror and understand who we are.
