There is no God, but rather an ideal “altruistic philosophy” of justice.
Socialism is the answer to government, social, and economic problems.
If we stop “global warming.” or "climate change" we can prevent our extinction.

If you don’t have the real thing, there is a void that must be filled by something. All nature abhors a vacuum. People who don’t know God have a hole that is never going to be filled. Without all the principles and qualities of God, without the truth, they feel empty, so they try to fill the vacuum of reality with worldly counterfeits. All of the counterfeits are a fantasy, a dream, they seem like they could fill the void, but they don't -- they CAN'T.
The purpose of the church of Jesus Christ, and the reason it is so important that parents teach their children the truth is so that when the children go out into the world they are immunized against the counterfeits. There will be no void in their lives that needs to be filled. They will not listen to professors who tout the fairness doctrine, the communist manifesto or socialist doctrine, or the philosophy of altruism. They won’t believe friends or doctors who recommend drugs and sex. They won't become addicted to food to fill the emptiness. They will see it for what it is, childish, fantasy, and thus not be swayed by it.
Justice
The philosophy of justice in equality of outcome is childish. There is no justice in the world. Everyone has been told by their mother that life isn’t fair. It’s a 10-year-old fantasy to make life fair, to have superheroes that bring truth, and justice to the world. Sorry, there are no superheroes, it’s just us. Grow up. Life's not fair. Work hard. Take responsibility. Give up "The Justice League."
Altruism
There is no such thing as true altruism, it is a fantasy. You’re not going to find a daddy to give you a “Universal Basic Income.” Those who promise it are totalitarian despots and cannot fulfill their promises.. Real altruism is inherently selfish. The most altruistic thing I can to is to build up myself, to make myself strong, and healthy and wealthy. That way I have power to help others. The CEO making $10M employs thousands of people, thus helping his employees and their families have a better life. Thus, as I truly help others, I help myself more. I increase my happiness and improve my standing in life. I am better by making others better. Never can anyone be wholly altruistic. Even Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself for all mankind, the greatest sacrifice ever, effectively raising Himself to the top of humanity by His sacrifice.
All of life is inherently selfish. If I live for me, I help others. Even God, the Eternal Father, is not wholly altruistic. God has children and helps them to grow up so that He can be glorified. He defines His work thus:
For behold, this is my work and my glory: to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.It’s all about Him, His work, and His glory. He offers us immortality and Eternal life so He can have more glory. We glorify Him. Is this altruism?
Moses 1:39
Monkeys murder and torture each other mercilessly. Chickens kill each other out of spite. Lobsters destroy other lobsters to get higher on the social scale. Life is brutal. To think otherwise is a fantasy. The only altruism that exists is for each individual to be truly Christian by taking all the suffering given to them and not giving it back. As unjust as that sounds, that is real altruism.
Socialism
Socialism doesn’t work. It never has worked. It never will work. The brutality of the 20th Century centers on socialism. More people have been murdered in the name of socialism than all other creeds - combined. Socialism is not reality, but rather a fantasy that cannot work in the real world. Being equally poor doesn’t help our species grow - nobody grows or improves unless there is freedom - freedom to succeed, and freedom to fail. Trying to bring justice by forcing economic equality just lowers everyone's standard of living and takes away the incentive to live. Lower standard of living equals lower serotonin, less happiness, less freedom, less creativity, less growth, and less life.
Ideal isn’t real, fantasy ideals are those that cannot ever be real. They are fantasies. Movies. Stories. Myths. Philosophies. Childish wishes. There are ideals that are real, but only in a perfect world. To say, “if the world were perfect, then we could...” This is not living in reality.
Climate Change
It is an axiom that doomsday predictions are always wrong. The reality with which we must deal is that we are going to burn every carbohydrate and hydrocarbon on or in the planet, this cannot, and will not, be stopped. Evolve or die is the rule. Reality requires us to look at the future and prepare for it, not try to stop it. Trying to stop the world only creates more suffering. Stop living a fantasy of doomsday. While extinction is a given, we are NOT going to blow up in a cloud of steam next year, nor are we headed for an ice age. The end is known, and the most important thing is that each of us prepare ourselves to meet God. This is the end we should fear because it’s real - and much sooner than the end of the world.
