“We are scripted to believe that reality is zero-based and that we live in a closed system. This paradigm of scarcity and insufficiency is the philosophy that undergirds our structures of systemic sin. We fear there won’t be enough land, water, food, oil, money, labor to go around, so we build evil structures of sinful force to guarantee that those we call ‘us’ will have what we call ‘ours.’ We call it security. We call it defense. We call it freedom. What we don’t call it is what it is – fear.”
