> I think there is a part where the principalities and powers that rule, actually want us to get so angry and divided.

Totally agree.

> There is no conspiracy of people plotting in a room coming up with how they can gain more power to take over the world (unless they’re two mice trying to do same thing night after night), but nonetheless there is a spirit of division and hatred that is very much present in our country that is tearing us apart.

Yup, there sure is and it's really disheartening to watch it unfold day after day. The country seems more divided than I've ever seen it in my 30ish years, and certainly more divided than rose colored glasses of past decades.

It's a shame but, maybe it's also a sign of healthy country? Maybe united countries are also the ones that go to war and invade others?



It depends what they’re united on. If they’re united on something evil, it is good they lose power, if united on something good then they will use that power for good. Our wars for example in the Middle East, our unity was on security and safety as the highest good, so we were willing to do something awful to pursue that thing. The letters next to their names have changed, but we’ve still made a god of security and safety, and have allowed it to blind us to the evil we’re doing.
