Does multiculturalism inspire you to think about peace (or fear)?

America is the land of the free and the home of the Atlanta Braves. Americans love Wal-Mart, Toys 'R Us, ESPN, and markets. The Devil (Christian adversary of mankind) knows this and seduces mankind towards anti-commerce terrorism (e.g., 9/11). Americans keep faith with patriotic comic book characters such as Captain America and Mister Fantastic who symbolize the durability of civic pride in the face of anti-social panic (e.g., terrorism). If the Devil is opposed to the 'confluence-culture' (e.g., pluralism) of America, what is the Devil's nationality?

Consider the following visual thought-model (shown below) of rows of circles with a fixed regular radius/area expanding and contracting in ways that makes the row-organization perceptually ambiguous. In other words, by simply manipulating proximity of objects in space, we can change our perception of 'grouping.' The human mind works like this as does general society, and the Devil understands this psychophysical 'phenomenon.' How does the Devil confound America's idealistic intention to create a harmonious democracy?

A husband and wife (John and Mary) go to a shadow-puppet theatre show during their honeymoon in Thailand and meet a strange man in the theatre who claims to be an alien from another planet. The stranger/man/alien introduces himself as Karns and he insists he can 'alter' the recently-married couple's perspective on fidelity. Karns is very handsome and offers to sleep with Mary to see if John will still love her after just one night of sexual transgression/experimentation. John and Mary take up Karns on the wager but after the night of adulterous coitus between Karns and Mary, John realizes he can not reconcile and ends up divorcing Mary. Karns is of course actually the Devil in disguise and after John and Mary divorce, the Devil grins in satisfaction and says to himself, "Proximity-based lust has interfered with a human bond!" Is this the same process of trust-disintegration we see in racism (in America) --- e.g., Los Angeles Race Riots of 1992?

All things considered this 'theory' of Proximity Consciousness is very useful for psychologists and philosophers wishing to understand the 'nature' of social contracts as well as the perception of compatibility itself. If there is a Christian God and a Christian Devil to oppose God, this Devil would surely challenge America's sense of 'proximity-based trust' (i.e., multiculturalism). This is why we celebrate confluence-paranoia films such as White Man's Burden, Colors, True Lies, and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. What would U.S. President Donald Trump say?
