It’s time for the civic faction to influence separation of religion and government

The comment box below invites readers to comment.

Phil Beaver seeks to collaborate on the ineluctable truth. Ineluctable means:  Not to be assailed, avoided, broken, changed, escaped, mystified, neglected, obfuscated, rationalized, resisted, revoked, or voided. Some people erroneously imagine limiting the ineluctable truth, for example, trying to change it.

"Civic" refers to citizens who collaborate for individual happiness with civic integrity more than for the city, state, nation, or society. Civic citizens neither initiate nor accommodate harm to or from anyone. Civic citizens are reliably responsible to the good rather than the bad in connections and transactions.


Consider writing a personal paraphrase of the preamble, which offers fellow citizens mutual appreciation:  For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and paraphrase its proposal as follows: “We, the civic faction in the United-States-republic collaborate to improve 6 public practices: integrity, justice, safety, strength, prosperity, and responsibility --- ‘in order to’ motivate goodness ‘to ourselves and our Posterity’.” I want to improve my interpretation by listening-to and considering other citizens and their interpretations yet would preserve the original, 1787 text, unless it is amended by the civic-people.

It seems the Supreme Court occasionally refers to it, and no one with status has challenged whether or not the preamble is a legal statement. The fact that it changed this independent country from a confederation of states to a union of states deliberately managed by appreciative fellow citizens convinces me the preamble is legal. Equity in opportunity and outcome is shared by the faction who collaborate for statutory justice, We the People of the United States.

Every citizen has equal opportunity to either trust-in and collaborate-on the goals stated in the preamble or be dissident to the agreement. I think 2/3 of citizens try somewhat to use the preamble but many do not articulate commitment to the goals. However, it seems less than 2/3 understand that “posterity” implies grandchildren to both born Americans and legal immigrants. Congressional freedom of religion, which fellow citizens have no means to constrain, oppresses freedom to develop integrity. This can be remedied by changing the First Amendment from “prohibiting” to “promoting”.

Selected theme from this month

It’s time for the civic faction to influence separation of religion and government

For over 5500 years, votives have felt the need to more reliably pursue their own peace and order. Accepting traditional influence to look to higher power, many individuals turn to religion or government or the combination.

The space-time actions that constrained the passing of a bullet through President Trump’s ear convinced him to witness for God, a mystery to humankind. Many of his supporters praise one of the Abrahamic Gods or other Divinity according to religious doctrine.

Institutional focus on economic, political, and military success distract the people from goodness. Consequently, humankind is divided. A civic faction practices goodness, preserving the opportunity for passives, dissidents, rebels, spirituals, criminals, and the wicked to reform before they die. The civic faction aids civil annihilation of evil.

Imposing God-mysteries, theisms keep humankind divided; unable to collaborate for goodness. The chief victim of humankind’s pursuit of mysterious power, authority, and responsibility (PAR) is children. Neither materialism nor war influences children to develop their unique opportunity to choose goodness in every action they take; to change, avoid, or resist every bad action and not repeat even one mistake. Thereby, each person may perfect their choices before dying.

I do not think ending religions would be wise. However, believers may and can influence their religious-institutions to reform. Adults may and can aid every child in lifetime intentions and comprehension to choose goodness in every action. Religions are better positioned to serve this intellectual endeavor, leaving collaborative material-provisions to the nations.

Let’s get started by changing the United States republic’s motto to “We Commit to Diligent Humility” rather than “In God We Trust”, accepting the power that constrains the consequences of human choice without objection or arrogance.

Prevention of harm is not enough. Civic citizens in the United States republic do all they can to preserve and defend each other’s’ opportunity to choose goodness rather than badness during their remaining lifetime, regardless of how low their present behavior may then be.

Thus, civic citizens encourage and facilitate goodness by passives, dissidents, rebels, and spirituals. They help constrain criminals and reform the wicked. The aid the civil annihilation of evil people.

Once a civic citizen intends to practice goodness for life, they embark on a quest to perfect their person before their body and brain stop functioning.

The preamble to the United States Constitution defines the civic faction, “We the people of the United States [republic]”.

You make an interesting point. I agree that being ethical should go beyond simply avoiding harm. We also have a responsibility to stand up for what is right, show compassion, and help create opportunities for others to do good. I believe true goodness is reflected not only in what we avoid doing, but also in the positive difference we make in other people’s lives. Would you mind following me back? I’d enjoy exchanging more thoughtful ideas with you.

 

Phil Beaver

You wrote, “We also have a responsibility to stand up for what is right, show compassion, and help create opportunities for others to do good.”
It seems you suggest righteousness, compassion, and justice. I think Yeshua of Judea, 2000 years ago, exemplified and taught those 3 behaviors in ways we’d like to comprehend. He did not write.
Many people wrote about Yeshua and developed the theory that his blood was shed to atone votaries’ errors and empower their mystery (soul) unto preferential afterdeath.
Subsequent literature transliterated “Yeshua” to “Jesus” and imposed the title “Christ”, creating a fictitious entity unrelated to the ancient person.
Consequently, Yeshua’s influence to goodness is hidden. I attempt to do all I can to bring Yeshua’s goodness to light, and will humbly try during this, my 83rd season of goodwill to everyone, worthy or not.

https://www.quora.com/Can-a-person-practice-perfect-justice-and-unconditional-love-at-the-same-time?

Informed by Genesis 1:26-28, civic citizens in the world do all they can to mutually preserve each other’s opportunity to choose goodness. They encourage passives to engage and rebels to reform; help constrain criminals; caution spirituals; oppose the wicked; and civilly annihilate evil doers.

Given equal opportunity to discover and practice justice in human living, the civic person does all they can to influence fellows to accept the power, authority, and responsibility to choose goodness rather than badness or evil. They leave any reform to goodness to the former offender.

They lessen un-civic practices, such as war, which harms every infant and child.

https://colorfulanalysesdifferentthoughts.quora.com/How-can-formal-adherence-to-morality-be-immoral?

How can formal adherence to morality be immoral?

Consider Merriam-Webster usages regarding two key words. Morality means doctrine or system for right human conduct. Immoral means wrong or evil. Additionally, consider civic integrity, in order to improve both civil code and religious doctrine.

Judeo-Christian doctrine, in NABRE with footnotes, informs that humankind is responsible for order on earth; Genesis 1:27-28, 31. Further, Psalms 8 informs that each person may pursue godliness until they die. Yeshua, the Aramaic-speaking political philosopher in Galilee 2000 years ago, affirms ancient thought in Matthew 5:48, perfect your godliness, and Matthew 18:18, The Lord will not remedy human error. The reader is urged to study these passages and footnotes then compare their favorite alternative to NABRE.

The believer who prays to The Lord to inform them, empower them, and supplant their responsibilities seems wrong or evil. It seems The Lord does not choose to usurp human responsibility.
Unwanted imposition on humankind derives from the word “morality”, which may and can be replaced with “civic integrity”. Civic means acting to preserve each person’s opportunity to choose goodness rather than tolerate either badness or evil. For example, Psalm 82:3-4 suggests that gods-facing-death promote and facilitate independent-goodness; that is, teach civic integrity rather than civil dependency, as addressed in 2 Thessalonians 3:10.

I write opinion because I do not know the ineluctable truth.

#USpreambler,#acivicpeople,#goodnesswhich

https://www.quora.com/Can-two-people-share-the-same-values-if-they-disagree-on-where-those-values-come-from

Can two people share the same values if they disagree on where those values come from?

In collaborating to discover and practice the ineluctable truth, the CIVIC person accepts the responsibility, authority, and power to aid humankind in archiving and benefiting-from observed consequences of human choice:  The CIVIL person attempts to impose traditional beliefs.

For example, the civic person observes that throughout history murder justifies civil execution of the perpetrator. Therefore, the civic person does not claim the right to repeat history’s error: being a murderer. However, some civil people feel they can murder people who don’t believe particular rules, such as “love God”.

Un-civic believers erroneously claim “their” individual-right to be wrong.

https://www.quora.com/Why-do-we-have-a-moral-sense-why-does-good-and-evil-feel-real

Religion purports to express The Lord’s will. As a child, I chose to follow curiosity rather than allow faith to direct my life.

As a result, I observe the consequences of choice and draw conclusions. I now think I do not have the right to repeat mistakes that humankind has experienced and archived: Living people may and can observe humankind’s ancient mistakes and not repeat them. The power that constrains the consequences of human choice is The Lord.

I think the individual pursuit of perfect goodness is The Lord’s desire, no matter how badly the present person behaves and needs to reform.

Let us develop the following thought (borrowing my younger, adult daughter’s response to my idea): The Lord’s desire is that every infant human-being discover, develop, and demonstrate good which motivates goodness.

Believers may and can accept the messages in the Bible, first delivered in Genesis 1:26-27 NKJV, that, on earth, humankind is in charge of goodness. The message is repeated in Matthew 18:18.

Badness happens when people defer to either their religion or to The Lord rather than accept the power, authority, and responsibility to provide goodness.

I’m glad Donalds won and hope he discovers that Yeshua, the Galilean who lived 2000 years ago was/is hidden from public view by the gradual transliteration of Yeshua the person into writers’ Jesus, often with imposition of a Greek-title “Christos”. Query AI:  How did Yeshua get translated to Jesus?”

Adults may and can choose to do all they can to assist children in the pursuit of goodness so as to perfect their person before they die. See Genesis 1:26-28 and 31, Psalms 82:6-7, Matthew 5:48, and Matthew 18:18. Let that be a start toward discovering Yeshua’s influence to goodness rather than blood.

Adults are charged to choose goodness rather than nourish badness and tolerate evil, in order to especially preserve each child’s opportunity to practice goodness during their lifetime.

The most severe victims of adult toleration of badness, all the time hoping higher power will usurp men’s and women’s responsibility, are the children of the world. It’s time to stop harming children.

#USpreambler,#acivicpeople,#goodnesswhich

A version I did not send, inadvertently:
I'm glad he won. However, Donalds may and can contain zeal to impose his Lord on the civic faction of the United States. Five ideas urge us to practice and promote goodness.
First, Genesis 1:26-28 (written before blood-sacrifice squabbles inspired Judeo-Christianity), asserts that whatever constrains the consequences of human choice assigned women and men the duty to pursue order on earth. Women and men may accept power, authority, and responsibility in the image of the constraining power, some people think their Lord.
Second, Psalm 82 informs that women and men have limited time to pursue order on earth, because they face death, whereas the constraining power lives on.
Third, Matthew 5:48 has Yeshua urging civic citizens to be perfect in the image of the power.
Fourth, Matthew 18:18 has Yeshua saying the power will not correct women and men's mistakes.
Votives look to their Lord to inform them and expect their church to define their Lord. However, the church has only mystery-doctrine with which to bemuse believers. The human failure of blood sacrifice has been developing for 3900 years, suffered massive increase with the messiah controversy 1900 years ago, and again 1300 years ago when the Arabs tapped into Abrahamic association.
The civic faction within each religion may and can require their institutions to practice goodness rather than badness and to annihilate rather than tolerate evil.
Adults can choose to do all they can to preserve and defend each child's opportunity to pursue goodness during every moment of their life.

https://www.facebook.com/fred.masterton, Nov 5

We may at last address that power which constrains the consequences of human choice.
I think the power is physics and its progeny, such as mathematics, chemistry, biology, psychology, work, and goodness rather than badness, evil, or mystery.
Discovery empowers goodness, while doctrine nourishes misery.
Many people compete for wealth and ignore choosing goodness.

According to Psalms 82:6-7, humans are born with godlike potential and a lifetime to pursue perfection. Matthew 20:1-16 has Yeshua saying gods-facing-death may perfect their unique person no matter how late in life they acquire the pursuit of perfection. Matthew 5:48 has Yeshua saying persons CAN be perfect by instructing them to BE perfect. Yeshua is reliable.

JT, you are part of the quintessential faction in the United States republic: a civic people. The civic faction does all it can to preserve and defend opportunity to choose goodness rather than either badness, terror, or mystery. Only the civic faction, aware or not, constitute "We the People" as specified in the preamble to the United States Constitution, negotiated then ratified on December 15, 1791, with subsequent amendments.

Citizens, to preserve opportunity for goodness in the United States republic, vote republican today.

Update July 4: JT, you amaze me.
Yesterday, as we considered the chaos in Europe, I asked my friend Judy Weimer if she would flee communism in America, and she answered, "Where would I go"?
We civic citizens may and can defend and preserve the United States republic from the rush to "social democracy".

Europe never accepted the N. American colonial-war for independence. 13 English colonies north of Spanish Florida chose to conduct the war. To France and the Netherlands, it was a war to keep England from controlling the Mississippi.

Other colonies in the Atlantic region supported the revolution. Independent statehood in the world was established by 1783, in the Treaty of Paris.

(Despite French influence --- for brotherhood, liberty, and democracy --- the republic has maintained independent, entrepreneurial pursuits.

It's the civic citizens' property, so the gift-+statue in NY Harbor may and can be re-named, The Statue of Independence on Independence Island.)

Now, the United States republic consists of 50 states, a federal district, 5 major territories, territorial wannabes, and global dominance.

Then divided Europe has, in 235 years, become so flummoxed by the unique United States republic that EU-political-ambitions beg ruin. They're distracted to social democracy and communism. Ruin is so insistent that, when it's invited, it cannot be stopped. Later, when the people experience the ruin, it's too late.

The United States republic will survive if the civic faction remains independent.

Caring for my bedridden wife for 5 years, our daughters taught me to soap-brush under my fingernails after I carried out the trash.

My wife's PSP-diagnosing-doctors had said she would survive 5 weeks to 5 months.

Our daughters turned it into 5 wonderful years, during which the family enjoyed with my wife, who had never before heard, Leon Russell's "A Song for You".

Our daughters care for and love 5 cats of one liter, born in the middle of our wife-and-mom's struggle. After assisting them with the cats (they're not my cats), I scrub under my nails with soap.

Pamela, you are too wonderful to not be loved in widowhood.

When Cynthia and I planned for possible deaths, we chose a couple to be our 3 children's guardians if we both died. We wrote identical wills. Aware of the conflicts that can arise from step parenting, we wrote that the surviving spouse would divide the estate if they remarried. Louisiana law does not allow enforcement, so we wrote it as a wish. Also, I told Cynthia that if she died before me it would not be 2 years before I remarried, because life with her was so wonderful. She said she would not remarry without saying why.

As a widower, I met or knew of many women, but could not get Cynthia out of my attention. I shared this experience with our friend Jim Bozeman. He said something like, "Phil, Cynthia will never leave your mind and memory. However, there is out there a woman who would respond to you wonderfully, and she deserves a chance with you."

Looking forward to Thanksgiving Day, 2026, I feel grateful to the United States republic, only 235 years old (as of completing its negotiated Constitution), but not so pleased with Judeo-Christianity, 1900 years old and still dividing humankind in war. War lessens if not ruins every living child’s chances.

My sentiment is grounded in civic integrity: mutual preservation of each person’s opportunity to accept their power, authority, and responsibility (PAR) to choose goodness rather than badness plus annihilate evil during their time – from personal infancy until death.

I would inspire believers to reform rather than destroy religion; to more expediently pursue actual-reality rather than preserve tradition’s mystery; develop accurate, precise, and deep expression rather than cling to 1900 year-old labels.

For example, accept PAR more than the Holy Spirit to choose goodness; know that physics usually is the power that constrains the consequences of human choice, whereas the mystery of God has diminishing benefit, as discovery unfolds; work to understand Yeshua, the Galilean political philosopher for goodness, more than promote the Pauline Christ; teach children that they may always pursue perfect goodness more than resist sin.

For Thanksgiving 2026, I am most grateful for talkers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, especially at Perkins Road Community Park. There, strangers frankly share ideas for widespread goodness, their free-speech empowered by anonymous goodwill.

Mr. President, Donald Trump, diligently alerted both the Congress and the court that it is time for reform of both speech and religion, in order to fulfill America’s promise to encourage the world to choose collaborative goodness that constrains badness and annihilates evil.

When Yeshua, in Galilee 2000 years ago, urged people to turn to goodness rather than the ways of the world, the competitive descendants of ancient Semitic-speaking Mesopotamians warred to promote their chosen theisms. Factions developed Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Each one trusts blood sacrifice in order to bargain with their doctrinal theism. Theism's victim is a theism; that is, no theism; in other words, civic integrity rather than the opposite of theism.
Cultures in Judea and Samaria were influenced by two major language families: Afro-Asiatic Family (Semitic Branch) and the Indo-European Family. Included are Aramaic, Hebrew, Akkadian, Assyrian, and Arabic plus Old Persian and ancient Greek. Zoroaster spoke an Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European family. He denounced blood sacrifice, in order to promote good thoughts, good words, and good deeds.
President Trump promotes good which motivates goodness and relies on that-power-which-constrains-the-consequences-of-human-choice to inform humility. He laments badness and evil that harms children as well as their fake-news advocates. Without accurate, precise, and deep archives, humankind repeats deadly errors. “Rights” advocates claim they can repeat human error.
Yeshua taught that to pursue perfection the commander-in-chief must humble their self like a child.
The world is so focused on competition that they war over whose blood sacrifice will reign victorious. It's adult folly, which ruins children's opportunities.
I hope Trump’s diligent humility will aid termination of child-abuse. Trump is important to every adult who would do all they can to defend each child's opportunity to choose goodness, reject badness, and annihilate evil.

Dear Mr. President:

 

Re: diligent humility as you express it

 

We understand that Yeshua, the Galilean philosopher, said that it’s almost impossible for a wealthy man to choose to pursue good which motivates goodness. An outstanding illustration is presented in the Hebrew Bible, through Abram, the son of Terah, who departed Ur in Mesopotamia to change, avoid, and resist human killing to provide flesh and blood to be burned to idols. You Sir, demonstrate the benefit of discovering and pursuing goodness.

 

You seem wealthy. Yeshua reportedly said, for example, see Mark 10:25, that is difficult for a wealthy person to choose goodness. Yet you express diligent homily. You dutifully defend goodness, oppose badness, and annihilate evil.

 

The doctrine of blood sacrifice to atone for human error distracts from pursuing perfect goodness among about 55% of the world’s humans yet ruins life for 99% --- all but the highest elites.

Proposing the U.S. motto, “We Commit to Diligent Humility”

 

The comment box below invites readers to comment.

Phil Beaver seeks to collaborate on the ineluctable truth. Ineluctable means:  Not to be assailed, avoided, broken, changed, escaped, mystified, neglected, obfuscated, rationalized, resisted, revoked, or voided. Some people erroneously imagine limiting the ineluctable truth, for example, trying to change it.

"Civic" refers to citizens who collaborate for individual happiness with civic integrity more than for the city, state, nation, or society. Civic citizens neither initiate nor accommodate harm to or from anyone. Civic citizens are reliably responsible to the good rather than the bad in connections and transactions.


Consider writing a personal paraphrase of the preamble, which offers fellow citizens mutual appreciation:  For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and paraphrase its proposal as follows:: We, the civic faction in the United-States-republic collaborate to improve 6 public practices: integrity, justice, safety, strength, prosperity, and responsibility --- “in order to” motivate good behavior “to ourselves and our Posterity”. I want to improve my interpretation by listening-to and considering other citizens and their interpretations yet would preserve the original, 1787 text, unless it is amended by the civic-people.

It seems the Supreme Court occasionally refers to it, and no one with status has challenged whether or not the preamble is a legal statement. The fact that it changed this independent country from a confederation of states to a union of states deliberately managed by appreciative fellow citizens convinces me the preamble is legal. Equity in opportunity and outcome is shared by the faction who collaborate for statutory justice, We the People of the United States.

Every citizen has equal opportunity to either trust-in and collaborate-on the goals stated in the preamble or be dissident to the agreement. I think 2/3 of citizens try somewhat to use the preamble but many do not articulate commitment to the goals. However, it seems less than 2/3 understand that “posterity” implies grandchildren to both born Americans and legal immigrants. Congressional freedom of religion, which fellow citizens have no means to constrain, oppresses freedom to develop integrity. This can be remedied by changing the First Amendment from “prohibiting” to “promoting”.

Selected theme from this month

Proposing the U.S. motto, “We Commit to Diligent Humility”

Congress’s 70-year-old motto is “In God We Trust”. Citizens who want the court to remove this burdensome prayer are told it’s only ceremonial. However, some citizens trust goodness.

Both Genesis 1 and the United States republic, established with ratification of the Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791, hold humankind for order on earth. Order demands goodness to constrain badness and annihilate evil.

Religions guide individuals to never repeat a mistake. People say it’s human to err. However, the individual may observe and record mistakes others make and not repeat human error. Thus, the mandate is for humankind not to err. To pursue perfection, humankind may and can keep accurate, precise, and deep journals of wrongs done, in order to change, or avoid, or resist the action that caused harm.

Balancing individual and collective good may and can motivate goodness.

“Socialism . . . believes that humans possess all the answers and that a divine presence doesn’t play a role in human affairs.”

This strawman argument is the Achilles heel to religious thinking.

Genesis 1:26-27 NKJV informs listeners that the consequences of choice hold humankind in charge of order on earth: bad behavior begs bad consequences. In Matthew 18:18, Yeshua the Galilean political philosopher affirms that the human choice does not get divine correction.

The laws of physics and its progeny (chemistry, biology, psychology, mathematics, economy) inform humankind that choice requires a person to earn the necessities of living. The person who does not work may eat the food a bureaucrat offers him or her.

Good intentions are necessary to choosing goodness. However, the human being often does not know the good. Among humankind, civic citizens pursue good-which-motivates-goodness, borrowing words from our daughter, Rebekah.

An unknown power constrains the consequences of human choices to act. Frequently good intentions result in unexpectedly bad consequences. So far, most individuals err by naming that power’s source “God” or other doctrinal entity and thereby miss the opportunity to be humble the power itself: to review past consequences, in order to change, or avoid, or resist bad choices.

Most people miss the adage:  Don’t repeat a mistake. Many think the rule applies to them alone, so they claim the right to make mistakes. However, the responsibility, authority, and power (RAP) to choose goodness is granted to humankind for order on earth. Order is not grounded in error. Only Homo sapiens has the intellectual power to order life on earth.

When most individuals accept RAP and mutually pursue good which motivates goodness, the competition to construct a God-mystery that might usurp the power that constrains consequences of human choice might cease.

Then, humankind might focus, at last, on good which motivates goodness that constrains badness and annihilates evil.

Unfortunately, the Richardson team cannot imagine they are being manipulated by a collaboration of enemies against the United States republic. Groups that come to mind include Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam, the many sects of Liberation Theology, and the EU’s hatred for America’s independence. Mindlessly the team surveys recent instances of TDS in the media, unaware that they overlook their own ADS: America derangement syndrome. Here’s a review for today.

Andrew Howard of Politico, at age 20 helped promote Trump-impeachment over Ukraine phone conversation.

Margie Cullen of the USA Today in 2018 was a hurdler at Berkley.

Dr. Jonathan Reiner may be family friend to Liz Cheney. TDS cost her congressional seat; some allow religion defeat personal life. Reiner opposes the United States republic, calling it a democracy; what pitiable shame his ADS begs.

Humbled by the reality that Iran is too weak to bully the Middle East, Trump humor expressed, “Praise be to Allah!”

David Rothkopf expresses seasoned-stupidity, describing Trump “hiding from the Iranians in a catering truck”.

The gang, “Daniella Cheslow, Nahal Toosi, Phelim Kine, and Giselle Ruhiyyih Ewing of Politico” has collective weight without credibility.

Zaha Hassan of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace told the journalists: “It’s really a Trump personal enterprise.”

Liza Donnelly stupidly blames Trump for stray assassination-bullets that kill innocent people.

Dan Lamothe and Cat Zakrzewski of the Washington Post pretend they could better choose the few who to join Trump in an emergency trip from Turkey.

Natalie Oliverio of Military Times pretends that military service could be managed so there is no risk to soldiers.

Jonathan O’Connell and Sarah Blaskey of the Washington Post pretend to know the value and cost of White-House changes. Scott MacFarlane of MacFarlane News proudly calls them “Trump’s vanity projects” then stupidly cites “the last year of Joe Biden’s presidency”, as though aliens weren’t running the office.

Wes Siler of Wes Siler’s Newsletter reported Democrats “are launching an investigation into possible insider trading over Trump’s 90% reduction of the national monuments” as though Democrats own a shred of reliability.

Democrats report Trump support for viable energy as padding the pockets of domestic energy-entrepreneurs, as though the Biden had not funneled money to China for minerals-depleting “renewables”.

Sarah Davis of The Hill opined “Mike Lindell . . . is refusing to concede”, despite pitiful
Ted Lieu pillow talk.

If I were a member of the media, I’d ask Richardson not to cite my work, so as to lessen attracting public pity.

The writer of Ecclesiastes 3 may have advocated time to hate.
I do not think Yeshua, the Galilean who, 2000 years ago promoted goodness, ever advocated hate.
Contemporaries who said he did (John 15:18-26, Luke 14:26) not listen to him.
Zealous to win the messiah debate, promoters of Yeshua as the Hebrew messiah except providing blood to atone all believers, hid Yeshua the person --- the advocate for good that motivates goodness (thank you, Rebekah for the brief phrase and thought).

This beautiful cartoon makes me feel very very very sad -- sorry for myself; alone, with no one who would like to comfort my angst: religion IS evil and believers can't possibly reform competitive churches.
The worst is the Pauline churches, which hide Yeshua's influence for people to pursue perfect personal goodness before dying.
For a glimpse of what I am saying, see Genesis 1:26-27, Psalm 82:6-7, and Matthew 5:48. There's much much more.
But arrogant-entrepreneur-Paul and his churches buried Yeshua under mysterious one-time-sacrificial-blood for believers.
The horror. The horror.

People who pay bureaucrats to feed their children have no say in what their children eat. Likewise, when the bureaucrats don't publish the school supply list, the children end up reporting their parents to the bureaucrats, because homelife is not in compliance.

Does James Finney know and teach the meaning of "ineluctable"? Does he use it as an adjective with "truth"?

To Henry Sieg, Aug 24

I'm 83 and ashamed that I spent 75 years trying to find a church that would accommodate my curiosity-and-trust: Whatever-constrains-the-consequences-of-human-choice knows the options I am considering yet will not correct me.
At last, on November 2, 2025, I became unchurched and realize now that my little boy made but did not accept that decision when I was about 10 years old.
The little boy in me seems more reliable than any church I ever considered, and the churches cover several cultures.
People who value churches may and can reform them so that they do not pit a person against their own civic integrity.
Everyone knows life dependent on mystery is not worth living: might as well cut to the afterdeath. My remedy is to accept the mystery without attempting to impose doctrine on it, in order to practice good which motivates goodness on earth.
Thank you, Henry, for inspiring me to share. I do not know the ineluctable truth.

Another Psalm 82 (and Mathew 5:48) goddess -- like our 2 daughters and Cynthia.

https://www.facebook.com/margo.frey/, Aug 22

Caitlin, like all responsibly aware individuals, is a goddess on her journey to death, pursuing her perfect person.
Psalm 82:6-7, NKMV, "I said, 'You are gods. . . But you shall die like [human beings].'"
It is affirmed by Yeshua the Galilean in Matthew 5:48 CJB.
Again,

Margo Tilley Frey Thank you for sharing; I apologize for poor writing. The point is that Yeshua's Matthew 5:48 instruction. "be perfect", influences Caitlin (and other aware individuals) to think she CAN approach perfection of herself before death, as suggested in Psalm 82.

I considered changing the word "is" to "seems" so as not to seem judgmental. However, in keeping my sentence, I focused on "goddess" and "[Caitlin] pursuing perfect person". Death distinguishes the responsibly aware individuals from the Lord. I therefore chose "is" rather than "seems".

If that's dark, I don't know how to remedy it. I think Psalm 82 affirms my thoughts yet is not responsible for them. I wrote about our son Stephen Boyd being a god facing death soon after his tragic death at age 19.

I feel the same way about our daughters, Holly and Rebekah. Each is a goddess pursuing, until death, her perfect person. My eulogy as widower was "to the Ineluctable Cynthia, who reflected Psalm 82."

Of course, I write opinion, because I do not know the ineluctable truth. "Ineluctable" means, together, not to be changed, avoided, or resisted.

I appreciate everyone who speaks plainly about civic issues.

I don't think isolated truths can be imposed on the people. The civic faction knows the passives, dissidents, rebels, spirituals, radicals, criminals, and wickeds look to good that motivates good behavior, including annihilation of the evil perpetrators.

All the bad types know that swearing does not motivate goodness, and they look to the civic faction to discourage swearing.

I think President Trump, by sharing his thoughts is expressing humility to the office of Commander-in-Chief to the United States republic.

North of the Strait of Hormuz (SH), which is international water, is the sea of Iran. South of the SH is the Sea of Oman. Iran has for decades attempted to claim control of SH.

If the United States declares the SH a territory, it will be up to the states of the world to apply the military force to make the US relent. Since the US is the champion of humankind, the world will not side with Iran, a theocracy and state in name only.

Europeans have not the diligent humility to accept ineluctable power. "Ineluctable" means, together, not to be changed, avoided, or resisted. Consequently, EUs suffer United States Republic Derangement Syndrome (USRDS), which for now is manifest as Trump Derangement Syndrome. TDS will pass. But USRDS will persist among un-civic people.

I write only my thoughts, without claiming anyone I know suffers USRDS. I know some Europeans who seem to appreciate Americans. I could be wrong.

Again,
Maybe the Senator from Montana can communicate with EUs, but I doubt it.

Aug 13 response to Mick Kassem

I think the United States republic. 235 years-old this Dec 15, is kept by the civic faction: those who accept the intentions stated in the preamble to the Constitution, “to ourselves and our Posterity”. The civic faction is engaged for life and afterlife rather than for afterdeath to the soul.

             Civic citizens encourage dissidents and rebels to help prevent harm; influence religious fellows to be humble toward whatever-constrains-the-consequences-of-choice, even as believers pursue religion; help constrain criminals; oppose wickedness and violence; and aid eradication of evil. Not everyone participates in civic citizenship, and privacy is paramount, as long as there is no harm to or from anyone.

Freedom of speech allows non-civic citizens to expose their dissident intentions and invite the appropriate restraint. Evil judges can be impeached.

Fred, EY spun off Albemarle in 1994, so your work from 1992 to 1998, I don't think was representative of Ethyl Corporation. I started there in 1966 as a summer intern, having paid for my college (UTK) as a co-op student working for DuPont's nylon research center in Chattanooga TN.
I observed at EY policies like DuPont's regarding unsafe conditions and unsafe practices. When I interviewed for permanent employment, the other 5 offers had no chance. I am so glad I chose EY and enjoyed 35 years' driving only 6 miles to the BR airport for flights often taking us to far away places.
Albemarle wanted to, but could not reach the EY, world-class management.
Over the decades, some bosses wanted to fire me, because UTK had instilled in me that my obligation to the ChE faculty as of 1966 expected me to not allow anything I helped place into operations blow up and injure people and property.
When a boss lost faith in me, EY moved me to a new assignment; I like to think they had big-picture data about me.

I agree with your opinion, Mel. And I would add:
Neither politicians nor preachers want is to accept that "politics" is a soft substitute for "power". People who say, "I don't get involved in politics" don't realize they have yielded their responsibility, authority, and power to pursue their personal and family goodness.
I say to politicians and priests: Just as you have no standing in my pursuit of my life, you have no authority over either my vote or my diligent humility toward whatever constrains the consequences of human choice.
I pursue goodness and therefore am acutely aware when you attempt to influence badness. Most of all, I pursue the humility to recognize and stop my error and not repeat it.

Aug 11

I prefer tentative appreciation, simply that the other party is a civic human being. I hope they verify that they are civic. "Civic" means living so as to mutually preserve each other's opportunity to choose good actions.
If not, I react accordingly. When I observe either crime or evil, I report it to first responders. When I observe diligent humility, I feel respect and may express it or simply observe, in order to learn.
I'm glad I reached age 83 and can write things I experienced.

I already ordered another design that says "In g-d We Trust". I will present both options to people who take interest.
Perhaps the freight train will be deflected by human order on earth (proffered in Genesis 1:26-27 and so far unaccepted).

Ship builder and teacher, I really like your reference to the good master and am thinking of it as the master of perfect goodness.
The good master, in Genesis 1:26-27 NKJV (written long before Yahweh and much later, Yeshua of Galilee, lived), informs us we are in charge of order to ourselves, our families, our communities, our state, our nation, and the earth.
Children don't want their parents to swear and show it with a frown and in other ways. If the parent swears, it's likely they'll convince their children to swear. Thereby, the parent's grandchildren will swear according to their own limits.

Continuing thoughts from my Aug 6 post, I realized I want to reform theism's attempt to constrain the mind of humankind by imposing beliefs. I prefer non-belief that empowers responsible independence with humility and humor.

Genesis 1:26-27 informs that the consequences of choice demand responsible independence on earth. In varying degrees --- from civic integrity to evil --- individual and collective Homo sapiens may and can accept the responsibility, authority, and power (RAP) to pursue order. “Civic” means mutual living to preserve each person’s opportunity to discover, choose, and practice goodness before they die.

Not every person is civic. Some insist on civility: conformance to competitive traditions. Some others embrace badness.

Heretofore, I have viewed Genesis 1:26-27 literally; that is, as an edict from Sumerian kings representing gods then transliterated into competitive monotheism by primitive Semitic-speaking people who fled Sumer.

However, this morning I perceive Genesis-1 as 5500 year-old recognition of RAP.

But, for the past 3700 years, Judeo-Arabic competition has suppressed RAP, recently using 1900 years of Messianic-Jewish debate. Therein, the dominant belief is that Yeshua is the promised Jewish Messiah and the anointed king. Yeshua, the Galilean political philosopher, urged goodness.

Paul’s Trinity obscures the executed Yeshua. Paul constructed Christ’s blood for redemption of believers, whether Jew or pagan. Christ dominates the competition, obscuring Yeshua’s influence to goodness.

I think modern recognition of the time spans, 1800 years from polytheism to competitive monotheism, another 1800 years to Pauline Trinitarians, and 1900 years without Pauline Christ’s second coming unlocks evidence that RAP to goodness expressed in the Hebrew Bible is bemused by the so-called “New Testament”.

Our best hope is that the civic faction accepts both Genesis-1 RAP and Yeshua’s ancient influence to goodness.

I am on a new, a theism (without theism) path. That is, I place my trust in responsible independence rather than theism. Theism is competitive speculation about god.

Responsible independence requires acceptance-of and humility-toward whatever constrains the consequences of human choice -- so far, a mystery, but seemingly physics and its progeny, such as economics.

Whitehouse

https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/, Sept 16

Dear Mr. President:

Re: I suggest that the United States republic, almost 235 years old, intends the action, “We Commit to Diligent Humility”, or better, rather than the dependency expressed in the motto, “In God We Trust”. Please effect this change, by Executive Order.

Fox News proclaims the Cross yet is flummoxed by the sudden success of the Muslim Brotherhood. The brotherhood uses socialism to obfuscate religious war, exacerbated by Congress’s ceremonial claim to divine dependency; the pledge is a prayer. During the Cold War, the U.S. Congress passed a joint resolution declaring “In God We Trust” to be the official national motto of the United States.

 

Congress unconstitutionally enacted the US motto on July 30, 1956, only 70 years ago. The religious organization, Knights of Columbus, was a proponent. History shows that boasts like, “My God will destroy your God”, excite the enemy. Reliable appeal to goodness is more effective, and you, Sir, controversially advocate to the people good which motivates goodness.

 

My recent appeals to you to presidentially change the motto then let Congress react seems more urgent in light of rising global hatred for competitive-monotheism’s 4000 year-old squabble over sacrificial blood.

 

About 3900 years ago, a primitive, Semitic-speaking tribe left Mesopotamian Ur, in order to seek relief from human-killing to obtain blood to sacrifice to idols. The tribe eventually settled in Canaan, using animal blood to sacrifice in monotheism. Later, a branch became Israel then dispersed. An Israeli faction predicted that a future king and priest would unite 12 tribes in monotheistic obedience.

 

An Israeli in Galilee, Yeshua, born 2000 years ago, advocated goodness rather than blood sacrifice. Yeshua influenced contemporaries to pursue good which motivates goodness. Advocates for Israel’s kingdom opposed Yeshua’s goodness-influence, so persuaded civil authorities to execute him. From 33 CE until 120 CE, fake news created variations that promote Yeshua as the one-time blood-sacrifice to redeem believers during the afterdeath. The afterdeath-construct bemuses lifetime pursuit of goodness.

 

Humankind does not forever accept fake news. Competitive monotheism motivated some Europeans to risk settling America’s new world. Jamestown was founded in 1607.

 

In 1787, the framers proposed the United States republic. They resisted human conflict by not advocating blood sacrifice or any other religious construct. Upholding 1787 intentions, Congress negotiated then ratified a Bill of Rights, on December 15, 1791. Amendment I, prevents Congress from establishing religion.

 

However, when, in 1956, Congress enacted the motto, “In God We Trust”, they unconstitutionally established monotheistic pride rather than humble goodness. Courts claim the motto is ceremonial. In practice it divides people: blood-sacrifice-monotheists versus others. The civic faction, defined by the preamble to the Constitution, wants goodness, which you, Sir, polemically lead. “Civic” means mutually pursuing each other’s opportunity to choose goodness.

 

After 2000 years with no second coming of Yeshua, some civic people regard blood sacrifice with disdain. Some long for Yeshua’s influence to goodness. A few accept that something constrains the consequences of human choice.

The civic harm of blood-sacrifice-doctrine is obvious to enough fellow citizens, who, in desperate resistance, create crazy movements like DEI, DSA, and domestic violence. The Muslim Brotherhood violently uses the collective dissidents and rebels. The global Caliphate is excited.

 

You, Sir, may and can stop the blood-sacrifice-suppression of civic goodness and motivate religious reform. Civic believers can convince their religions that goodness is better than doctrine; constraint-acceptance is better than error-repetition; order facilitates development of wisdom. Religious leaders may and can, at last, be relieved of hypocrisy and quickly reform to the people’s pursuit of goodness, trusting the source of life (perhaps God) with the afterdeath, that vast time after body and mind cease.

I am shipping to you, Sir, two each of my motto t-shirts, perhaps for you and the First Lady to wear together. The shirt that reads, “In g-d We Trust”, invites discussion of “good”, or “God”, or both. It is obsoleted by my proposal for our country, “We Commit to Diligent Humility”. I will prepare an explanation of the local references on the back side of each t-shirt, in case someone inquires.

May you have every success in the mid-term elections, in the war with Iran, and in reforming religious establishment in the United States republic, all for the sake of humankind.

 

Sincerely,

 

Phillip Beaver

Dear Mr. President:

Re: motto for the United States republic: We Commit to Diligent Humility, or better

Sir, I hope this idea has reached you and the faith office is working on it respecting the war in Iran. I want to present a chemical engineer’s view about Middle-Eastern history, then apply it to the so called “social democrat” domestic attack in America.

A few issues are especially important to people who are not descendants of Semitic-speaking competitors including Hebrew-speakers, Arab-speakers, and opponents from 4000 year-old to 1900 year-old Middle Eastern cultures. An Arab-speaking Semitic branch developed Islam 1600 years ago. Non-Abrahamic descendants, such as Farsi-speaking Iranians, suffer 3 competitive monotheisms.

Briefly, the history features polytheisms, competitive monotheisms, and non-theology, consequences of primitive and ancient Homo sapiens development. Key points in four major cultures follow:

1.    Non-Semitic Sumerian kings committed civil-subjects to serve polytheism while ordering life on earth, as reported in Genesis 1:26-27. Dissidents suffered. Humans who accept responsibility, authority, and power to order life on earth constitute the first major culture.

a.    Occasionally humans were sacrificed to serve deceased royalty.

b.    Infrequently a subject was sacrificed to protect the king from threat.

2.    A Semitic-speaking tribe left Sumer to resist human, ceremonial sacrifice yet continued blood-sacrifice for human atonement, killing animals and birds.

3.    A branch developed Aramaic and Hebrew in constructing their monotheistic being, who promised peace to their people, provided they behave according to covenant.

a.    The tribe never achieved obedience.

b.    Later, a branch from that culture predicted restoring a temple in Jerusalem for functions including ceremonial blood sacrifice.

4.    Before that, an ancient Semitic-speaking patriarch, living in Syria, Abram, had 2 mates who each had a son;

a.    The first son joined with Arab-speaking Semites, who were skilled in warfare.

i.    Modern animal sacrifice commemorates relief from murder-threat to the son.

ii.    Perhaps 40 generations later, Muhammad proposed justice to everyone who submits to an Arab monotheism.

b.    The second son, whose son (Abram’s grandson) had 4 mates, begot 12 sons.

i.    Each great-grandson headed a tribe of Israel; the second major culture.

ii.    Ten generations later, Israel offered peace to nations who accommodate them.

1.    Later, they predicted an anointed king who would bring victory and peace.

iii.    22 generations later, Yeshua of Galilee influenced peace to all who hear him.

1.    Messianic Jews, a tiny branch, viewed Yeshua’s execution as a one-time sacrifice to humans, including pagans, who hear him.

2.    Pauline churches developed The Trinity as monotheism. Competition among Pauline-church commentary constitutes the third major culture.

3.    They assigned to Yeshua a title, “Anointed One” or “Christ”.

a.    363 years ago, Europeans obscured Yeshua’s person, as “Jesus”, an entity constructed by Paul and subsequent commentary.

c.     1400 years ago, Muhammad gave Yeshua the name Isa, as an element of the fourth major culture.

5.    Chronologically, about 64 generations after Yeshua, George Washington, in 1783, led Americans to create a unique republic with implied intentions to fulfill Genesis 1:26-27: humankind orders life on earth. The United States republic, in 1791, restored the first major culture, Sumerian politics, except utilizing 5500 years’ experience.

6.    About 12 generations later, President Donald J. Trump practices diligent humility to pursue good which motivates goodness to every person on earth.

 

Civic people pursue religion or not without making war. The three cultures -- Jews, Pauline churches or “Christians”, and Muslims, owe it to humankind to terminate 4 millennia of religious conflict that was created by ancient Semitic-speaking peoples. On the other hand, diverse believers today ought not accept false admonitions from the past, just as modern people ought not accept responsibility for past slavery.

Replacing the United States republic’s motto with “We Commit to Diligent Humility” would have foreign and domestic impacts. Worldwide, it would disarm religious wars, like the Iran war. Domestically, it would de-fang the European sponsored Black Brotherhood in collaboration with the Nation of Islam, liberation theologies, Marxism, and anti-capitalism, which attempts to overthrow the United States republic. It should happen as soon as you decide.

Recalling your wonderful humor at the October 2016 Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, I envision you, Sir, calmly addressing the fake clergy. They keep wicked governments empowered to ruin believer’s lives. On the other hand, I learned from a believer today, because I had, at my home, a 1-1/4” socket wrench and ½” driver. After he tightened the part on his truck, he returned my wrench and said, “Thank the Lord”. I like that sound of civic appreciation for good outcomes and would never dictate how a person expresses it.

My appreciation for your actions, Sir, will not end. For example, you could make the Strait of Hormuz a US territory, if you so decide. I know you cannot guarantee outcomes yet “thank the Lord” that you work hard to apply diligent humility.

I must think before trying to clarify this message as deliverable as soon as you choose, hopefully in time for the mid-term elections. I will work diligently to express confidence.

Sincerely,

Phil Beaver
