“People think that they have no right to judge a fact - all they have to do is to accept it. Thus from the moment that technics, the State, or production, are facts, we must worship them as facts, and we must try to adapt ourselves to them. This is the very heart of modern religion, the religion of the established fact, the religion on which depend the lesser religions of the dollar, race, or the proletariat, which are only expressions of the great modern divinity, the Moloch of fact.” PeopleThinkingTryingHeartStatesMomentsFactsRaceAcceptingModernExpressionJudgingDependsWorshipDollarsProductionsDivinityProletariat Author:Jacques Ellul
“All wars derive from lack of empathy: the incapacity of one to understand and accept the likeness or difference of another.

“Our policy is to give all possible material aid to the nations that still resist aggression across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. And we make it abundantly clear that we intend to commit none of the fatal errors of appeasement. We have the thought that in this nation of many states we have found the way in which men of many racial origins may live together in peace. If the human race as a whole is to survive, the world must find a way by which men and nations may live together in peace.

“God did not create the strife between races, nor did He intend for it to be that way. Strife between races and ethnic groups comes from sin-and sin resides in the human heart. The Bible says, “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?” (James 4:1). When one group or one race claims it is superior to another, pride has taken control-and pride is a sin.Instead, God wants us to learn to accept each other and love each other-and this becomes possible, as we turn our lives over to Christ and allow Him to change us from within.” WayWantHumansHeartDesireTurnsFightingCausesChristSinRaceAcceptingTakenOur LivesGroupsPrideBattleAnd LoveClaimsSuperiorsWithin YouHuman HeartStrifeWant UQuarrelsLove Each OtherEthnicityPeace And LoveChristian LoveBible VerseEthnic Groups Author:Billy Graham
