Remember the 60's? Suppose they gave a War and nobody came?
It seems that is exactly what happened with the supposed Spiritual War.
Several reasons.
1) Too few believe that its real, necessary to fight(by choosing this day whom you will serve) or that it applies to THEM.
2) The dark side is easier, more attractive, and less restrictive than is the narrow path. I myself can attest to this. ringo claims i never follow the message, but I do as much as any of you. Perhaps none of us ever do enough. Hence the need for Grace.

Can you explain why you say that it's easier to live an antisocial, life than a prosocial decent life?
False dichotomy.

Re: Topic
Let's turn that around. Do you feel that your money and investments are freely obtained and are your right to responsibly manage? If it could be proven that exploitation of other nations throughout History has led to an artificially constructed advantage, (I can call it Western Privilege) would you be prepared to renegotiate a global consensus as to sharing of resources?
