You're thinking is completely reversed here. You're making a vast assumption.

Truth's Effect On Society

Believing truth does not make us robots and certainly does not make us all the same. In fact, an understanding of the Bible creates great diversity, but with peace. In fact, a common faith in the Bible would be (and eventually will be) a source of diversity—through peace—that has heretofore been unseen in the world.

If a culture believes that the world is flat, this belief is not the culture. It may be a common belief among a certain people who make up a culture, and this common belief may shape the attributes of the culture (for better or worse), but it is not the culture.

When a people believe a lie, that people are not enlightened or empowered. They are ignorant, and this ignorance stifles them in every way.

This lie then becomes a belief system—a religion—that this people will pass on to their offspring, and then eventually defend, sometimes to the death.

The answer to strife in the world is not—as Lennon mistakenly assumed—getting rid of all religions. The answer is getting rid of all lies.

Please note this important fact:

I'm not saying that we should get rid of all people who believe a lie. No. We should get rid of the lies they believe.

So, how do you we this?

Truthful, accurate, education.

There has been some division on our family lately. Some members are in disagreement about some issues of truth and it is causing strife (separation). So, a family member (who is smart) came to me a few weeks ago and said that they believed that the only reason there is separation is because we've all been exposed to different information (i.e., lies). He said that he believed that if we all had the same information, then there would be no strife. How insightful. He is right.

So he (wisely) is now participating in Biblical and world studies with Laura and I on the weekends. Our hope is that this study will grow until more of my family allows themselves to be exposed to this information. If they do, it will bring unity to the family, but will not destroy any diversity at all. It will only remove the lies and therefore remove the strife.

How does a common belief in truth enhance diversity?

How difficult is it to be diverse in a time of war? In this condition, people have to align their actions and use up their resources to fight.

Wouldn't it be better if we could use our resources freely so Bob can be a micro biologist, and Sally can be a rocket scientist, and Sara can be a musician, and Herb can go live in the woods and enjoy the beauty of the rain forest.

Wouldn't it be nice?

Diversity increases in times of economic prosperity. True freedom in peace greatly enhances diversity. Peace and unity come by knowing Truth.

Reality

The fact is, the leaders of nearly every country of the world are currently involved in a coop. This coop is called the New World Order (their own words). The Bible calls this the last world kingdom. Bible scholars call this the "Revived Roman Empire".

The implementation of the coop involves massive lies and deception in order to create division among people (One such lie is evolution). These people have to create division in order to eliminate the possibility of people working together in large groups, because if people did that, these criminals would be overthrown and tried for their crimes against humanity; A process of war called "divide and conquer".

This is the condition of the world today, and not because of religion, but because of lies: Lies, like evolution, lies like the war in Iraq, lies like fiat money, etc.

Herein lies the root problem.

Some people actually don't want the truth. Some people find that the rules put fourth by the One True God are too harsh.

No. They don't like rules like: Don't sleep with your neighbor's wife, or don't steal your neighbors money.

So, because they don't like these rules, they begin to separate themselves from truth. They stop studying Truth. They stop learning, and when they do this, they start to form all kinds of silly ideas in their heads to ease their conscience. These silly ideas are lies.

So, why don't they like truth?

Because it causes them to have to exhibit self discipline; It interferes with their lusts.

Huxley was honest about it.

"I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning, consequently assumed it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption . . The philosopher who finds no meaning in the world is not concerned exclusively with a problem in pure metaphysics; he is also concerned to prove there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to do . . For myself, as no doubt for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was simultaneously liberation from a certain political and economic system and liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom."

—Aldous Huxley, "Confessions of a Professed Atheist," Report: Perspective on the News, Vol. 3, June 1966, p. 19 [grandson of evolutionist Thomas Huxley, Darwin's closest friend and promoter, and brother of evolutionist Julian Huxley. Aldous Huxley was one of the most influential liberal writers of the 20th century].

Yes, you see, the Bible had it right all along. You'd think we'd learn to listen, wouldn't you?

So where does this lead—this lust that separates us from Truth?

Slavery.

Yes, slavery.

Why do you think our rights are being taken away? Well, it's claimed they are being taken away for the preservation of freedom and security.

This logic falls flat in it's face because it's based on a lie.

We have to ask ourselves: How does losing our freedom protect our freedom?

Hmmm.

You see, when you find internal contradiction in an idea, you can begin to detect a lie.

Additionally, if people allow the government to have the power to lock people up for saying things that are "anti-American" for the purpose of preserving security, we can see that the government becomes the speech police, essentially, the thought police.

Kinda' sounds like a loss of diversity in ideas, doesn't it?

There you see the promotion of a lie which leads to a loss of diversity, which when matured, becomes slavery.

What God Wants

God wants us to be free. He taught us how to be free and how to stay free.

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
(John 8:32)

But many people aren't listening because the education system and the mass media (directed by the secret societies currently directing world affairs) are teaching lies causing division and enslaving people into false ideas, but the education system could not succeed in this endeavor if it were not for the fact that some of us want to believe these false ideas.

So, it's our own fault. The truth is available but more and more people are not bothering to take a look at it.

Sadily, you will soon see where that leads us.

Slavery.

The Answer

Courage unto purity.

It is our own desires to be immoral (lusts) that we allow to drive us away from truth. When we drift away from truth, we are no longer inclined to defend freedom. When we don't defend freedom, we fall into slavery.

If we would be willing to allow ourselves to be once again exposed to truth, giving up our lusts, we would be willing and able to work together and throw off the burdens we live under, and God would help us in this endeavor.

Unfortunately, too many continue to refuse to even consider taking control of their lives. So apathy abounds.

So here we remain.


"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."
(Revelation 3:15-16)

(Those who don't care will be rejected from the body of Christ.)


"For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now are they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular."
(1 Corinthians 12:12-27)

(We can all be unified in truth and still remain diverse.)
