You can believe what you want. And please do give those who believe differently the same courtesy you'd expect for yourself.
Since I do believe, I will say that it is not God's fault that we are such a loathsome, greedy, wrathful, judgmental, wasteful and destructive species - a cancer on this planet. It is we who struggle with self-control, and that is not God's fault either. It is completely on us.
There is a psychological, or perhaps psychical, energy that is born everytime we have a feeling or thought. Sometimes the energy is good, sometimes bad. Collectively, this energy is very powerful. Trump unleashed a number of (figurative) 'demons' - Shakespeare called them 'the dogs of war,' and the bible calls them the 'four horsemen'. They are not beings but are collective energies - you might call it a sort of group-think, or even reference some of the studies on mob or crowd mentality.
These energies do exist and right now the energies of hatred, racism, genocide, anti-Semitism, white supremacy, the lust for war and others have been awakened. By Trump, who reportedly is a serious student of Adolph Hitler's speaking style and mannerisms, and whose father 'wore the hood.'
My father fought in the Battle for New Guinea in the Second World War. Upwards of sixty million lives were extinguished getting rid of these psychic energies, putting them to sleep and ending the Axis. Why do you think we had McArthur become the de facto emperor of Japan, and implemented a Marshall Plan, complete with systemic de-Nazification of Germany?
Because our leaders knew they had to put these 'volkish' master race, anti-Sematic, and anti-slavic energies to sleep. They had to end the lust for 'living space' and worship of war.
This is also why we instituted a Fairness Doctrine here, so that evil propagandists such as Joseph Goebbels could not gain a foothold here and awaken those sleeping energies. Until Ronald Reagan killed that doctrine in 1987, that is. Now we have Trump, a master propagandist propped up by Nazi wannabees like Bannon and Stephen Miller, and amplified by a for profit corporate funded media backed by a massive corporate funded right-wing radio and cable propaganda apparatus.
These dark energies have slept uneasily for decades, and now they are awake here, in Canada, in Brazil, in Scandanavia, Germany, the UK. Mussolini's original Fascist party is now in power in Italy.
The magats are not 'mindless.' They have been seduced, blinded by decades of right wing and conspiracy propaganda made possible by Lewis Powell's 1971 Memorandum to the US Chamber of Commerce, which lays out the entire plan for the corporate takeover of this republic.
We ourselves have allowed this to happen, and it is on us. As Joe Walsh once quipped, "God is busy!" And that is true. The solutions to this are on us.
