text: I picture the angry God in the old testament.    Time and tides march on and yet for the first two hundred years after Christ's partial departure Christians did not believe in nor practice self defense.   We had Francis of Assisi and Pierre Tielhard de Chardin since then compounding the deeper current of our Universal Consciousness and evolving understanding of the true calling.    Sure we have fallen for fear and madness abounds/Trumps winner take all world of might makes right etc, but then again the whole world is becoming aware like the cities evolution would first reveal true love and help bring heaven on earth not just above.    So mercy for ourselves and salvation is just a matter of making the connections with our destiny and makes the idea of being bad unconscionable.     Who for instance would want to be drunk or on drugs in this coming world of love?   Thus anger and making amends seems a childish quality God within us/the spirit vanquishes.   imho
