There are two approaches to living life on earth. (1) Acquire and hold the best locations on earth, or (2) beat the odds through superior integrity and technology. Approach (1) has many methods: business model based, religiously motivated, culturally driven, weather driven, and most notably through war. Many groups of people have attempted approach (2) and this is the source of all mysticism and science.
Jesus Christ’s message is firmly on the side of approach (2). Do not get caught up in the violence that man wreaks on his fellow man. Come to God through His Son Jesus Christ. I have (and you will) avoid the terrible costs of modern science. I have witnessed persons attain spiritual integrity and its associated technologies.
