So, what is the solution?

     All my life I have heard people talk about separating themselves from others who don't agree with their beliefs/philosophies/political opinions. Growing up in New York, people upstate often resented the power that New York City wielded simply because there were so many people concentrated in a small area who wanted government to supply things whereas the rest of the state preferred to be more independent. Many expressed hope that the City would separate themselves so those living upstate wouldn't have to support them with high taxes and be impacted by their opinions on legislation. Then there have been the voices for Texas to separate themselves from the United States to avoid federal legislation that is too interfering in personal lives. (Remember the Civil War??) The United States was formed when people left countries they felt were unjustly ruled so they could form a country of their own. From my perspective, the biggest difference is that those who formed the United States of America did not want to just be free from someone else's ideas. They wanted to form a country based on superior principles, principles as given by a Superior Being.
     For thousands of years, God has promised us, His children, that we could prosper wherever we are if only we can manage to keep His commandments. That doesn't just mean that He would wipe us out if we are naughty. It is a natural consequence of our behavior. If we can't love one another and follow rules like not cheating, lying, killing, robbing, etc., then there is no way that we can prosper. No entity, country, city, nation, can last if the citizens of it destroy each other. We are all different. Even if we have the same ethnicity, gender, or choose the same philosophical belief, there will be differences between us. That is simply an unavoidable circumstance. No rose is like another rose. No robin is exactly like another robin. And no human being is exactly like another human being. We don't look alike or think alike. In order to endure/survive, we need a solution to avoid destroying each other. Avoiding each other simply is not a solution. We will always interact with others at some point. God knows all this. He has been telling His children for millennia how to prosper. Every time a group of His children understands His counsel and follows it, they do pretty well for awhile. The United States has done pretty well for a couple hundred years. That is because our laws and basic beliefs were primarily based on God's commandments. We are starting to move away from that. Just as every nation throughout the history of the world, we will decline if our morals decline. If we choose to try to allow or accept every idea of what's right and wrong, every different moral belief, or principle, we cannot endure long. If our youth have no strong foundation or standard, they will wander aimlessly without success that comes from ethics of hard work, honesty, compassion, sacrifice, and willingness to discuss. If we don't purposely teach those ethics, the earth will have to endure generation after generation continually trying to re-invent the wheel. God's principles or commandments as explained in Judeo-Christian scripture are the only solution. That does not necessarily include added interpretations of men. Later writings of rabbis, priests, and other leaders that do not align with the original laws are not going to provide a solution, only create a new group of followers who then separate themselves from others. God does indeed exist. He will reveal Himself to those who seek Him and who have sincere intentions to live as He would have us live- with Peace on Earth and Good Will toward all men.
