Jesus said “blessed are the peacemakers.” Not the warmongers. Not the authoritarians. Not those who see their religion as a battle against “the world.” Jesus said “blessed are the peacemakers.” Wherever peace is chosen instead of violence, there are the children of God.

One of the oldest forms of religious hypocrisy is people using God to justify the kind of actions against others that they themselves would cry out to God in agony if those same actions were carried out against them.

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.
