The world has not changed since the WW II mass genocide. Is it not true that earthly suffering en masse is the means by which God punishes sinners? How else can genocide be explained? Are not demoniac humans God’s instruments of destruction? How else can we explain the genocide against Native Americans, Hitler’s massive extermination, Russia’s pogrums, the slaughter of Christians by Catholics, the Spanish Inquisition, the French beheading, and the countless ethnic cleansings throughout history? Mostly all of these tortured and murdered peoples practiced religion, yet they were annihilated. One can only speculate that, God protected them for some time, then chose to deliver them from evil, thru bodily death by demoniac humans. On the material platform, we see our brothers as victims of horror and human tragedy, but on the spiritual platform we can say, they were ready for liberation. Hitler’s power was sanctioned by God, Hitler was powered by masses of ignorant followers, and evil works should teach us big lessons. Of course, humanity has not learned them yet, and may never, until one becomes Krishna conscious. Until that time, God allows human agents of death to reign until defeated. It’s the rise and fall of demoniac power that must be part of humanity. It is checked for some period of time, until again it rears its ugly head, surprises us all, and reigns as hell on earth. This is all part of God’s universal plan. Agree? Disagree? Please submit your comments.
