Dealing with those who would cause other harm

How do you deal with those who wish you evil?

That's easy. I don't. God does, and it's so simple. One has only to understand: (a) how "The Universe" works, and (b) to invoke the laws of God. I'll share a parable with you which will make this clear.

Forty-Nine E-mail Viruses

Twice upon a time... I say twice, because in this story, "once upon a time" just isn't quite appropriate. At any rate, twice upon a time, there was a man who sent forty-nine viruses to the same email address while believing that he was doing God's work. But guess what happened. The wise person who received the infected e-mails simply followed the maxim given to humanity from the ultimate-source-of-all-that-is (which we call God). That maxim says: "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do."

However, before he moved on, that wise person also invoked the blessings of God and said, "Father send an Angel of Light to the person who wished me harm. Direct that angel to shine the light of God's truth into the face of that person who intended to harm me. Direct God's light to him and shine it so brightly onto him that his fellow peddlers of harm-to-others see the light and think that he has become a traitor to their cause."

And low and behold, it was only a matter of time before the laws of God began to take effect, and the maxims began to come home to roost:

"As you sew, so shall you reap. "

"What goes around comes around."

"Whatever you do onto others, you also do onto your self."

And no matter what that peddler-of-harm did, every single bit of what he put out started, step by step, to come back to him, and it soon started coming back so strong and so hard that he realized that he had only two options: 1) He could either regret harming others, pray for forgiveness, and change his ways, or 2) His fellow peddlers-of-harm would quickly see that something was wrong with him. They would see him as a traitor to their cause and deal with him according to their own laws.

God and the laws of the Universe are so powerful that no human being has ever escaped the laws. So, whenever that poor fool who sent the forty-nine viruses looked into the mirror and looked very closely, he saw that light from God's Angel of Truth shining onto him from behind his left shoulder. He was fearful enough to also look over his right shoulder, because he knew his compatriots (his partners in causing harm) were also watching him. But, he had one small problem -- he was not wise.

God's laws are always fulfilled!

I'll simply leave it to your imagination to figure out what happened to him. All I'll tell you is, "Be very thankful that you are not him!"

Tell me more about "The Laws of The Universe."

I cannot, with provable certainty, tell you anything about God. What I can and will share with you is what the overwhelming circumstantial evidence points to as: "The result of intentionally doing something to harm someone else." Here are the rules:

Regardless of what any sacred books say, one simply cannot do evil in the name of God. It's just not possible to escape the laws of cause and effect:

"As you sow, so shall you reap. "

"What goes around comes around."

"Whatever you do onto others, you also do onto your self."

I'll re-state this in the language of The Universal Law of Karma: "Evil always comes back to the perpetrator of evil." Every major religious text tells us this in one way or another.

And think about this for a moment.

How could God be so small that He could fit
inside of just one religion?

How could God be so weak and so powerless that He needs humans
to help him punish the non-believers?

If there is any such being as "The Devil," he would, without a doubt, disguise himself as a religious leader, or as a political leader, or even more likely, as a political/religious leader.

If there is any such thing as "Hell," it is filled with those who were duped by the devil into doing evil in the name of God.

I thank God every day that I am wise enough to not be one of those poor fools who intentionally spreads grief and misery, for:

Misery made is a debt unpaid.
and
Woe is unto him who intentionally harms another!

If intentionally causing harm to to others
is so self-destructive, why would anyone
attempt to do something that stupid?

For several reasons.

First, because they have been conned by others into believing that they are acting on orders from God and that they will be rewarded in heaven.

The suckers who intentionally harm others never notice that those who recruit people to commit crimes (such as becoming a suicide bomber) never sacrifice themselves. It's always someone else who does the suffering and the dying. It's always someone else's son or daughter who is sent into harm's way.

Those who intentionally harm others are also unaware that it's impossible to prove that God wants them to commit a crime. They are simply acting upon someone's belief about God -- a belief that had its origin at least a thousand years ago from people who also believed the Earth was flat.

And in addition, can you imagine trusting your eternal soul to a God so weak and so powerless that he needs human to help him punish non-believers.

Second, because many of those who intentionally attempt to harm others actually feel guilty about something in their own lives and because committing crimes is their way of seeking punishment.

(When they are caught by their fellow humans,
they will be punished as criminals.)

Third, many of those who intentionally harm others receive an adrenalin rush from their criminal behavior. This is often a substitute for the sexual expression that is denied to them either by their own beliefs or by the circumstances in which they are living.

Fourth, another way to see those who intentionally attempt to harm others is that many of them think like the drivers of automobiles who try to outrun the police in a major cities such as Los Angeles, California. These drivers have several police cars following them, they have a police helicopter overhead, they know they have absolutely no chance of getting away, and yet they still attempt to flee. Why? To postpone the inevitable pain they are facing.

To shift from living off the pain and misery of others to a mutual win-win sharing requires the person to go through what is often a painful transition period. Avoiding the pain of transition keeps many of them going in the negative direction. They do this even though they know that sooner or later they have to change, and even though they know that the longer they continue their criminal behavior, the more painful the transition will be.

(The Laws of the Universe continue to function, even for those who deny the laws and even for those who simply do not know that the laws exist.)

Fifth, many of those who commit the crimes have a very limited view of reality. They are so brainwashed or so mind-controlled that they can see none of their other options.

Sixth, FEAR!. There is a great deal of fear in the minds of the leaders who secretly support, condone, and/or promote those who would harm others. They believe themselves to be separate from the source of creation and from the rest of humanity. Although many will deny it, their behavior indicates that they are actually ego-atheists.

Seventh, There are some who are simply criminally insane. They really have no idea what they are doing.

And we have one final question: The evidence overwhelmingly indicates that "God is just Love." Why then, would God reward those who peddle anger, hate, misery, and violence against innocent women and children?

Again, here's the bottom line about harming others:

Misery made is a debt unpaid.
and
Woe is unto him who intentionally harms another!
