It seems so much about being a good person involves resisting temptations and the urge to participate in a collective wrongdoing or evil, often initiated through good intentions. This is starkly demonstrated with the Kenosha, Wisconsin demonstrations a few years ago. Wanting to protect private property from vandalism is arguably a good intention, and wanting to protest excessive police behavior is also arguably a good intention, yet it ultimately led to a self-defense shooting that resulted in dead and permanently maimed protestors, and a young man who narrowly escaped going to prison for life and who will live with that event forever haunting him. What is Creator’s perspective?

Ignorance about many things is widespread. But one of the hallmarks of intelligent species is the ability to “problem-solve” based on common experience. Yet we see this shockingly absent with the Floyd tragedy, where the most extreme worst-case motives are assigned to the police, while the suspect is lionized as a scion of virtue. Both outlooks should be instantly rejected, based on common experience alone, even in the absence of circumstantial knowledge; yet, we see hordes of people, who should know better, subscribing to these outlooks as if they were self-evident and beyond dispute. How is this even possible?

Given the prevalence of crime in most communities, and the fact that the Washington Post reports only 15 unarmed African Americans were killed by police last year while carrying out over one million arrests, how can ANYONE, seriously think that defunding and eliminating the police is a good idea? What is the divine perspective?

We’ve been told repeatedly that logic will rarely overturn belief, and there is no shortage of personal and collective evidence that this is quite true. Yet on rare occasions, there is enough success to keep people from giving up on making logical arguments altogether. Why does the deep subconscious find an “implanted” belief so compelling that it will fight tooth and nail against logical presentations presented to the conscious self that utterly undermine it?

More startling, in London thousands of people turned out “cheek by jowl” to protest the death of African American George Floyd while under police restraint. Not only are they turning out to protest an event 4000 miles away in a different country, with different rules, different histories, and different cultures, but they are ostensibly doing it at grave personal risk given the ongoing problem of COVID-19. How can anyone possibly think showing up for such a protest in a massive crowd where they are essentially an anonymous member, is a worthwhile use of their time and energy, especially considering the individual and collective risks presented by the ongoing pandemic?

We’ve been told that the overwhelming turnout at President Trump’s rallies, is largely due to mind control manipulation. Now we are seeing a similar response in attendance for George Floyd protests. Yet, people just cannot see the inherent lack of logical explanation for both these phenomena. Can Creator provide the missing explanation?

Everybody has heard the term “Two wrongs don’t make a right.” And if you were to ask everybody, the overwhelming majority would agree with that statement. Yet, when it comes to the ongoing violence accompanying protests of George Floyd’s death, critics are shouted down by many of these very same people who inexplicably not only seem to think there is something noble, virtuous, or at least compensatory in allowing the violence to take place and persist, these same people will go even further and attempt to silence critics of this very same violence as if two wrongs DO make a right. What is going on here, especially when some of the victims of rioting are black business owners?

Humans, at heart, are a compassionate, generous, caring species, and this is demonstrated on a regular basis. However, we’ve also seen how these traits can be WEAPONIZED and turned against both individuals and society at large. Seeing that the interlopers lack these virtues altogether, they must think such virtues are weaknesses. Is it a source of great delight to use them as weapons as it reaffirms their opinion of the silliness of human virtue?

Protest demonstrations and also riots have broken out all across America following the death of African-American, George Floyd, while in a white policeman’s custody, pinning him to the ground with a knee on his neck for a prolonged period. While some decry this civil unrest as actions of criminals seeing an opportunity to exploit frustration in the black community, others are sympathetic to those who live in a world they see as racist, and understandably may reach a breaking point. What is the divine perspective of the demonstrations, and of the rioting that often follows?
