If we all treat each other well, and enjoy what we have, we are living in the will of God. Gods plan is for the earth as a whole, not for an individual or a group to overcome others. We are meant to all get along. Heaven is here on earth. We just need to make it the way we want it. It depends on which rules we want to play by.
I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said here, with the exception of the following:
"We just need to make it the way we want it." I don't think we really know what we want. I think some of us have a vague idea...What needs to happen is that we need to stop getting in God's way and let God make the earth the way God created it to be in the first place. It's all about God -- not all about us.
