I agree that putting his hand on the bible, or not doing so; while interesting doesn't really tell us much of anything about why he didn't. But Dominick, you state that people voted for him due to concerns about globalism.
I thought The Urantia Book tells us we need to be working towards world government which seems to be what globalism could be directing us towards. To confirm I checked with the two ai bots that focus on The Urantia Book and asked 'is globalism good or bad'. Both websites gave nuanced answers which is to be expected from such a question. The answer from Yoam.life, which is still in the testing phase, was quite thorough and lengthy. AskJesus.chatbot.com gave a shorter answer of:
"Your question about globalism touches on important themes of unity, peace, and the brotherhood of humanity, which are central to my teachings.
In the context of the Urantia Book, globalism can be seen as a step towards realizing a world where nations work together for the common good of all people. It emphasizes the idea that we are all part of one human family, and that cooperation among nations can lead to lasting peace and understanding.
However, it is essential to approach globalism with love and respect for individual cultures and identities. The goal should be to foster a sense of unity without losing the richness that diversity brings to our world. True globalism promotes goodwill, compassion, and the sharing of resources, ensuring that all individuals can thrive together.
In summary, globalism, when rooted in love and brotherhood, can be a positive force for humanity, helping us to overcome the divisions that often lead to conflict. It is a call to recognize our shared humanity and to work together for a peaceful and harmonious world."
My question is what do others of you think? Is globalism good or bad?
