Where the carcasse lies, there the vultures gather, descending from the cloud-capped towers and gorgeous palaces to tear apart the meatier parts of the economy, and renew their inappropriatly giant share of tax-payers wealth.
In order to re-instate a collapsed economy they had helped bring to bankruptcy, leaving the tax payer holding the empty bag, and leaving us no choice, or voice in the situation. Can we expect any change in their behaviour, hold your breath, they're among those ,who were born of privilege, usually educated out of their minds, and quite content for things to remain as they are, with little or no real Christian concerns. to weigh.
The Christian Right elite tier, leading the same charge by borrowing the good name of Jesus Christ for its association with all that is good, but are ambivilent about retaining any feeling for the God of Jesus Christ, the God of forgiveness, non- violence, justice, love and compassion. If you want the truth about the Christian Right, get The Family" by Jeff Sharlet. Unfortunately they along with most of us, atheists, agnostics and reluctant Christians, have forgotten the Wisdom, and universal truths in the Judeo-Christian Bible and thrown the baby out with the bathwater.
Fortunately the universal truths of the Bible and those of Jesus Christ are being re-discovered for the first time again. "If you look and can see what is in front of you, you shall also see what is hidden from you". Book of Thomas:

To unfold the truth,about us and about the conflict, division and violence left in our wake, and to separate the wheat from the chaff, to reveal the conscious and unconscious origin of conflict, division and violence shared by all of us. To disprove the fallacy that truth has a trap door.
The long and winding road
The Road Ahead ?
Welcome to Secrets of Conflict, Division and Violence Revealed
The Stumbling Block
We hope to search for the truth about us humans, and hope to amass enough evidence to prove, that no amount of laws, transparency, disclosure and legislation is sufficient to alter our destructive and corrupted behavior except temporarily. Our love of polarity empowers our self image and activates our 400 million year old reptilian brain! Our reasoning part of the brain, which enabled us to advance and create this material paradise, is of little use in taming our conflict, division and violence.
Witness the death of the "Social Contract", between nations and even next door neighbors," you don't bother me and I won't bother you"!, just doesn't work for reasons we will search out.
The following should convince sceptics, that our overall intelligence, is losing the most important characteristic, that all life forms except man, posess.
Every living creature has a built in need to survive, no matter what the threat to it is, it will do everything in it's power to avoid it's demise. Bacteria will eventually overcome an anti-biotic that once killed it. All living creatures will adapt, change to the best of their abilities when their survival is threatened, even though their cognitive {reasoning}, abilities are meagre compared to mans.
Man with the most complicated and highest functioning cognitive process, seems unable in most cases to avoid putting himself un-necessarily in the line of fire.
All this is due to the control the negative aspects of his psychological self has on his behaviour, cognition, reasoning and actions.
Lets call the interference - the stumbling block - the negative aspects of the "software of the mind", those things that prevent him exercising intelligently and creatively his will to survive.
They include but are not limited to the following.
His desperate need for identity and belonging, which is a double edged sword, when what you identify with or belong to has a destructive or negative narrative...Our need to be right in our own eyes, see Proverbs 21: 2...When we identify with a certain belief (one leaf) and it becomes, for most, something we would defend no matter what the cost...our love of scapegoating others when they do something wrong, but when we do the same we rationalize it...our strongest natural characteristic is mimemis, {imitation} whithout which we couldn't have created culture or even learned language, but imitation is again a double edged sword, depending on who or what we imitate...the tendency for close friends to desire the same object {mimetic desire} and if it cannot be shared we often become rivals, unleashing negative envy, jealousy and often ending in conflict, division and violence, often turning good friends into bitter enemies...our increasingly selfish greed...extreme ambition and competition...those who become extremely narcissistic and egoistic.
Most of the negative aspects of the above lead to conflict, division and violence and are an impediment to survival, which I put under the umbrella of the satanic constellation and which Jesus called scandalon in the Bible.
So it seems our own negative side of human nature our neg. psychology is taking us down the river without a paddle...
This is the basic contradiction that is preventing mankind from doing the right thing, and living in the garden of eden, and experiencing an overall joyous life. It's also preventing us from solving or even dealing with the real problems facing us. It's obvious that society as whole is unadjusted or worst, and unless we realize that we've been wrong about a lot of things, chaos, like violence, can only escalate to extremes.
