Losses Predicting Wins

I asked the Christian evangelical proudly wearing his Make America Great Again red golfing cap: What day to day spiritual experience of grace health humane relationships rich in joy well-being regenerativity integrity would you lose if God the Father of omnipotent Love Turns out to also be Earth, the Mother of Holy Holonic Holistic GreenPeace Spirit? As Eden on restored Earth predicted and iconic redemption experienced by Jesus of Nazareth's fertile multicultural Kingdom already at hand during and after baptism by immersion in a sluggish, yet still flowing, still nurturing, still communing Jordan River of active hope in faith for omnipotent energetic love. I'm still waiting for his answer about what he would thereby lose. Although I suspect it might have something to do with loss of egocentric confidence in StraightWhiteMale LeftBrain-dominant privileged miseducation segregation individualized competitions for earning salvation From fear of ego's mortal eternal suffering, where fear of lonely timeless Hell of painful neuropsychological isolation outdistances communion for eternal multicultural inclusion, regenerative social and cultural health potential already at hand, Cooperative, democratic eco-political restoring justice to green peace climates of nonviolence for WholeEarth global interfaith cultures, Including secular/sacred dialogical dipolar depolarizing integrity. When I asked him what he might gain from Earth EcoFeminist Gaian principles of synergetic health compassion, he was equally silent But, I saw a glimmer turn to gleam restoring internal sense of saint and sinner solidarity with eternal longings to return to ecosystemic opulence To eco-politically reweave, to globally restore, to resume, to make Earth's healthiest nutritional wealth great nonviolent communication and ecology and theology again.
