This is what I don't understand. I'm beginning to think it's beyond human comprehension altogether. See betty, and be thankful, you don't think like evil people and fallen angels think, it's totally incomprehensible to you, and to most people. Evil angels and the lying people that they possess see this in good people and exploit it, it's how they get where they are. This idea that people are basically good is not true.

This idea that people are basically good is not true. Precisely! All men are fallen.
Our Founding Fathers knew this and constructed the Constitution in such a way that its system of divided government and checks and balances would corral any desire on anyone's part to become a single authority "with teeth."
Our Founding Fathers abhorred a centralized government and a centralized ecclesiocracy.
Pity some wish to return to their chains so easily.
No king but Christ!

Even Jesus said that only God was good. Our hearts are deceitfully wicked...
