TO BE LIKE US

   What would humans do if we didn't have humans to fight?
   We argue, we debate, we agitate, stir up mischief, seek to dominate and control, and spread rumors, gossip, and lies as if they are truth while doing it all with such natural ease that we are actually proud of our behaviors while deceiving children to follow our examples to be like us in this vicious war of humans fighting humans across the face of the earth, from generation to generation, as we purposely strive to be like us and to be proud of our path of destruction while teaching children to do likewise.

   "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
     He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth:  he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
     He was taken from prison and from judgment:  and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living:  for the transgression of my people was he striken.
     And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
     Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief:  when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper his hand.  
    He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied:  by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities."   (Isaiah 53: 6-11)

   "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:  but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."  (1st John 3: 2)

   To be like us will cease to be when the children of God choose to be like Christ.
