To be workable as a means to encourage any group of participants to engage in open and honest dialogue about their PERCEPTIONS of what are likely to be the major current threats to the SUSTAINABILITY-of-Modern-Civilization - - - this document will most likely need to be "trimmed" rather extensively - - - by leaders who are willing to lead in such an effort to match-the-document to-a-likely-larger group. In fact, it may be best to have an initial meeting of people who are willing to explore the following question - - - - to begin by sharing diverse perspectives about what they regard as the Major current threats to the SUSTAINABILITY-of-Modern-Civilization as they know it. Participants who are willing to offer input might be asked to take turns giving a one to two minute personal response to the question; with the understanding that it will not be helpful for any debate to flow from such offerings. Requests for clarifications would be helpful. No one persons should be allowed to make any extended presentation. Visiting about each other's presentations would be helpful. Dialogue will be helpful. Overall; debates and lectures will not be helpful! What HUMAN PERSPECTIVES need to be the focus of local-early-discussions about the SUSTAINABILITY-Of God' GLOBAL-CIVILIZATION? Difference people, have different PERSPECTIVES - - - regarding different-major-threats to what-we-values-most in our long-traditional life-styles, relationships, ideals, values principles, grounds-for-hope, virtues and goals. We need to become aware of how we differ in our views of each other's DIFFERENT-PERSPECTIVES - - - to become able to discuss our DIFFERENT-PERSPECTIVES honestly-with-each-other. Consider the possible significant-perspectives of different-humans - - - regarding the following-statements about what are perceived by some of us - - - to be major threats to most-of-what-we-value: You are below asked to share your own views about which of the following possible DIFFERENT-PERSPECTIVES; should be the early-foci of discussions within some Plymouth-Church Discussion-Groups. Which PERSPECTIVES need to be discussed early in our open-and-honest dialogues-about how-sustainable our Civility and OUR-GLOBAL-CIVILIZATION Are -Now? What additional PERSPECTIVES, not listed here, should also be discussed-early in our open-and-honest-dialogues about how-sustainable our Civility and OUR-GLOBAL-CIVILIZATION Are-Now? Regardless of what your own PERSPECTIVES are; you may best set them aside; while making recommendations; about which PERSPECTIVES should be discussed early in our open-and-honest-dialogues-about the SUSTAINABILITY of OUR-GLOBAL- civilization as it now exists. Facilitating the beginning of open-and-honest dialogues - - - is more important than winning-early! In due course - - - participants will each be asked to cast 20 votes in support of focusing soon upon a particular few PERSPECTIVES presented-at-that-time-for priority voting; each voter distributing their 20 votes upon whatever set of presented PERSPECTIVES they recommend should be the early-focus of upcoming open-and-honest-dialogues. A private self- generated 9-digest number in the response medium will help us to ascertain whether each item received support from many respondents; or from just a few respondents. =============================================== SOME POSSIBLE PERSPECTIVES ================================================ 1. OUR-GLOBAL-Civilization IS NOW-DEPLEATING Earth's-Limited-Fossil-Fuels to power: our cars, trucks, trains, airplanes, electric-power-plants, and military-establishments - - - Augmenting-and-Moderating OUR-GLOBAL-CLIMATE-CHANGES. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 2. OUR-GLOBAL-CIVILIZATION Really-Can in-a-timely-way shift into using MOSTLY non-fossil-fuel sources-of-energy - - - as Fossil- Fuels become less and less accessible/useable; moving US TOWARD planet-wide fossil-fuel-exhaustion and CLIMATE-CHANGES. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 3. Scientists are not well-enough-grounded overall - - - in all-that-really-matters - - - to be able to give independent reliable guidance in how to respond most wisely to these different PERSPECTIVES. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 4. The most LONG-TERM reliable HUMANE-GUIDES towards how to most-sustainably and most-robustly - - - deal-with the above conflicting PERSPECTIVES; are professional: economists, political-leaders, investment-brokers and rich-investors. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 5. We should-not, and must-not - - - fret greatly about the above conflicting PERSPECTIVES - - - because ultimately GOD IS IN CHARGE - - - and we must look to God to unilaterally-resolve our conflicts for us. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 6. It is dangerous for us to believe that some ONE particular Isolated-Perspective - - - regarding these conflicts, is more reliable, robust and sustainable - - - than Any-Coherent CLUSTER-OF Truly-Complimentary-Perspectives. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 7. There is little if anything that any particular individual: person, family, church-congregation, communal-action-group, etc. - - - can do to help make a significant difference. Only the MOST-POWERFUL-AND-WEALTHY-COALITIONS CAN MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE! 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 8. These conflicts between PERSPECTIVES - - - will have relatively little impact upon people within our middle class people - - - within this city and near-by cities; in the coming few decades. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 9. How we take initiatives with respect to these differing PERSPECTIVES will have major impacts upon all humans within God's Astronomically Tiny-and-Isolated Spherical-Space-Ship-Earth. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 10. Agreeing upon correct and reliable Theological-Statements-and-Affirmations - - - will be far more important than the above considerations - - - and the above should NOT distract us - - - from Real-Traditional God-Talk. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 11. We cannot change human nature and/or the long prevailing patterns of human behavior; so we should not waste our time, efforts and energies - - - in trying to change the long-term prevailing patterns in humans' behaviors. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 12. We should not let ourselves get-distracted-from all of the ESSENTIAL-And-Adequate Truths; which are obviously present within the eternally-reliable texts of the Bible. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 13. We cannot change the fact that it is the most dominant humans who always prevail in all human conflicts - - - which are born of alienation; and augment past patterns of alienation. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 14. The-eternally-reliable laws-of-economics cannot be changed, and we must adjust to that-fact-of-life. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 15. The-eternally-reliable laws-of-physics cannot be changes, and we must adjust to that fact-of-life. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 16. Nonviolent-Ways-of-Mitigating Conflicts-which-Generate-Alienation - - - have always been more helpfully-reliable-and-sustainable - - - than have the Alienation-Generating Violent-Ways of Resolving-Conflicts. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 17. Alienation is generated by people's unilateral-actions which are guided-and-abetted by: Greed, Hoarding, Coveting, Terrors, Anxieties, Fears, Ignorance, Prejudices, Provincialisms, Arrogance, Dishonesty and Pretensions. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 18. Reconciliations-and-Civil-Cooperation are guided-and-facilitated by True-Lovers who are Dedicated-to Mitigating In-Civil-Ways, Their-Own: Alienative-Conflicts and Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 19. The Long-Term-SUSTAINABILITY of Mortals'-Civilization, will depend much upon Open-and-Honest-Dialogues about the Residual: Finite-Accessible pure-material-resources; within God's Spherical Space-Ship-Earth's 10 Mile-Thick Moving-Cooled-Solid-Crust - - - generating: volcanoes, earth-quakes, tsunami, and Our-Globally Changing-Destructive Climates. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 20. The long-Term-SUSTAINABILITY of Mortals'-Civilization will NOT DEPEND to any great extent on any pure-material-resources which are NOW-OUTSIDE of God's Space-Ship-Earth's 10 Mile-Thick Moving Cooled-and-Fragmented Solid-Crust-Pieces; surrounding its RED-HOT-CORE. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21. TRADITIONALLY-REVERED theological statements/doctrines and/or taboos that will most likely need to be examined openly-and-honestly, to discern if they have played roles in leading mortals to fail-to-see their responsibilities in transitioning-into long-term-sustainable life-styles - - - based upon ideals, values, principles, grounds for hope and virtues - - - which are long-term-sustainable within isolated Planet-Earth's thin crust with finite-material-resources. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 22. TRADITIONALLY-REVERED concentrations of wealth, powers and influence; that will most likely need to be examined openly-and-honestly, to discern if they have played roles in leading mortals to fail-to-see their responsibilities to transition intentionally into long-term-sustainable life-styles based upon ideals, values, principles, grounds-for-hope and virtues - - - which are long-term-sustainable within isolated Planet-Earth's thin crust with only-finite material-resources. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 23. TRADITIONALLY-REVERED: political, economic and/or scientific teachings that will most likely need to be examined openly-and-honestly; to discern if they have played some roles in leading mortals to fail-to-see their responsibilities in transitioning into long-term-sustainable life-styles based upon ideals, values, principles, grounds for hope and virtues - - - which are long-term-sustainable within isolated Planet-Earth's thin crust with finite material resources. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 010 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 24.

TRADITIONALLY-REVERED: patterns of exclusivity, rank-orderings, segregation that will most likely need to be examined openly-and-honestly, to discern if they have played roles in leading mortals to fail-to-see their responsibilities in transitioning into long-term-sustainable life-styles - - - based upon ideals, values, principles, grounds for hope and virtues - - - which are long-term-sustainable in within isolated Planet-Earth's thin crust with finite material resources. 26.
