mac has made clear numerous times to audiences that when she wrote Dog Paddle she had no idea the world of humanity understood itself to be a god and, furthermore, those at the top of the political and economic world had worked to make sure a True God could not actually exist. She suffered much and long, because every breath she took she was in debt to evil just for being alive.
Evil is one that would make Spirit a liar.
The battle ahead is because none in America even have a conscience, that is; want to asses dark or light, Light being Righteousness.
Choose Righteousness and assume others are not evil in their motives, that is victory when you begin.
