“We do not do battle with men, but with Powers and Principalities.” -St. Paul

Our neighbors are not “evil spirits” but are often possessed by them. Understanding that helps us obey the injunction, “Love your neighbors, do good to them that hurt you.”

The “neighbors” and the “them” are pawns of the other side, convinced that is it “all right” for them to hurt their neighbors in pursuit of some “higher goal”.

The goals that justify their hatred of neighbors seem more different than they are. “Global warming” is no different than “central planning” or “equalization of income”, or whatever the latest excuse for bigger government is. All their causes are the same; all are designed to disrupt the natural, human tendency toward organization.

Every human activity becomes an opportunity for the other side to destroy their neighbors. Public education offers every confusion from “new math” to routinely giving mind-altering drugs to children. Medicine and transportation offer many excuses for the greedy to confiscate money from their neighbors.

Once any human activity has enough participants, the demon-possessed want to “help”. Those who pick their neighbors’ pockets have turned public education into an expensive joke. Teaching has become progressive brainwashing, medicine turned into an increase of pain and impoverishment, transportation into a vast wasteland.

It does little good to get mad at those who profit from the destruction of people and institutions. We can, however, pray that The Programmer lets them understand that their souls are more important than their ever-growing masses of pottage.

Praying for them channels power from The Programmer into their minds and helps them get rid of the chaos that stems from thinking that they are better than us. It’s better to pray for them than hate them.
