that knowledge/science's benefits depend upon the level of being of those who have access to it. That this is why despite the amazing things that have been discovered, humankind has not learned a wholesome control of technology in many areas. Obviously, in terms of medical science, there are absolutely outstanding advances, yet the low level of being -- despite education -- of the maga party seeks to deny human beings health care. And SNAP benefits, etc. That is the same low level that uses science to create weapons that could kill millions of people, and remain self-righteous christians or any other religion these days.

I am pleased to see an increasing number of church people calling out the evil of this administration. As always, I use "evil" in the psychological context, rather than a religious sense that it exists outside of individual human beings. "Evil" in the sense that it makes good people sick to hear about, such as in the recent example of Brian Kohberger, who is simply a variation of Stephen Miller. Both are reptilian, in the bad sense.
