Seems the only benevolence going on these days are food shelfs, people who feed the homeless and give away warm clothing to the less fortunate. #NONProfits
I'm praying that those of us who didn't vote for this crap don't get the short end of the stick that those who did deserve. File the next 4 years under 'Be careful what you wish for - you just may get it'.
Religion is not 'good', nor is it benign. It is in fact, harmful to individuals, and dangerous to society. Thus, the idea of "religious tolerance" is null & void.
I'd have capitalism much higher on the list than religion. Then racism, fascism, colonialism, consumerism, individualism... And properbly a few more before I get to religion.
I'm not at all religious, just what forces I see doing the damage.
Religious (irrational) belief/thought is what facilitates most of what you listed; racism, fascism, colonialism, and to some degree, consumerism. BTW, you list "individualism" as a negative? You must mean it in a certain context, probably one that I've described in my work (self-created reality?).
Since I was a small child I've worked to learn what has held back human progress. It isn't just religion. But also the many other things that divide us & even put us at odds w/ each other. However, two main things cause virtually all of the rest; indoctrination into religion & prefabricated society.
If God didn’t intervene during the holocaust…all the sh*tty wars, natural disasters and plagues..why would “he” tap in now that human beings have sold their children’s futures for an easier life.
I hope the republican party is so ineffective and malfunctions the whole time, and they get nothing done again. Trump went through 67 people in his administration last time. We have atleast 38 house republicans today who did not obey Elons will...that's gotta count for something.
With all due respect, fuck prayers. Life only makes sense when you force it to. Clamp your hands around fate's throat and make yourself perfectly clear.
You're asking Mother Nature to be kind. She has been awfully patient, but I don't blame recent warning activity, no-one has unlimited tolerance. #CarpeDiem
I don’t know about this. I believe the universe wants us to do something about all this shit that’s going on right now. We have to mobilize!! Everyone is too quiet, democrats right now are useless. It seems like president musk is in office already. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
The universe is a generally inhospitable place. Earth is a rare exception. We're together for a very short time. Let's be kind to each other. And support public libraries!
"The man who prays is the one who thinks that god has arranged matters all wrong, but who also thinks that he can instruct god how to put them right." Christopher Hitchens
Action is what is needed, not archaic groveling to fictional characters.
We have a benevolent universe, if this is not your perception, then you need to understand why that is.
The Universe always gives us who we are, not always what we want.
Maybe it's time to ask yourselves why you keep getting what you keep getting.
If viewed scientifically, the universe is a collection of matter and energy governed by physical laws, which don't involve concepts like care or concern.
The universe is not benevolent, sadly. There is no moral arc of the universe. All we have is each other, and we must protect and encourage each other during these difficult times.
This latter day House of Cards will fall one day. Not even in power yet (nobody seems to have pointed this out to them but I suppose they have the GOP in the house to do their bidding).
Hang in there, my friend.
30 more days and everything will begin to improve.
The Biden nightmare will be a thing of the past.
History will remember him as the worst President...ever
The universe is benevolent, that’s how evolution works. Overcoming threats by changing and adapting. We develop what we need to survive and we need to use those new skills to improve our environment. Things (people) that try and stop evolution don’t last. They die out: hence, this too shall pass.
It is benevolent, but it is always calculating in a chaotic way, like actuaries making bets on expectancies, profiting from each bet it makes, or resetting what isn't profitable.

Maybe that's the problem?
Action does.
You know that.
It’s just our very human desire to not know that.
All the more reason
to reason and fight 🙏
Can my kitchen then be benevolent?
The matter of benevolence belongs to the humans within the universe, as it does to the cooks within a kitchen.

Re individualism - belief systems that preference the individual over community and the planet.
God is the source of Good, no matter what the left-wing libtards might say

Good news: The universe doesn't care
Prey for the malevolent among them.
That's a BIG ask. How about we start small & begin with Planet Earth?
Take care of each other, everyone.
I hope Maga enjoy skyrocketing inflation.

Have him Deported back to South Africa. They'll sort him out!
Arresting him STOPS HIS POWERS AND MONEY AS A TERRORIST AND SPY
I wasn't suggesting that you shouldn't sequestrate his Fortune, first. Keep that & send him back with some pocket money! 👍
I'd rather see him suffer - somehow.
Tis the Season of Goodwill to all Men, even if they are Dr Strangelove!
