Is it in the Bible....or in the other 'bible'???
1.Searching for that level of agreement in society, alas, appears elusive. But the aim is to live in harmony.
“If people are living in harmony with each other, they are living together peacefully rather than fighting or arguing. We must try to live in peace and harmony with ourselves and those around us.

2. Here’s the problem: Not all see the same path nor meaning of the term:
“Karl Marx himself has stated that “The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism,” a sentiment that corresponds almost exactly to the Islamic idea that “peace” means the absence of opposition to Islamic rule. Cultural Marxism — aka Political Correctness — and Islam share the same totalitarian outlook and instinctively agree in their opposition to free discussion, and in the idea that freedom of speech must be curtailed when it is “offensive” to certain groups.”

3. Sooo….where can we find a more copacetic view of peace and harmony for our culture?
That is found in the Bible, the book of the Judeo-Christian faith. But, over the last century and a half, a very different ‘bible’ and ‘religion’ has come into existence….and demands itself as the replacement of the earlier faith.
Marx provides the sort of modern, secular substitute for what the Bible offers. Militant Secularism is a substitute religion for the world, based on all sorts of opposite doctrines compared to the Judeo-Christian version. And the Democrat Party reflects those contrary ideas to that which made our civilization the shining city on the hill.
The clearest judgement between the two religions is the track record of each. The Judeo-Christian version gave us Western Civilization, Marxism and its iterations gave us the slaughter of well over 100 million men, women and children in the century of slaughter, the 20th.
4. The first worships God, while the second provides a substitute, worship of a very different entity: “It [Communism] is not new. It is, in fact, man's second oldest faith. Its promise was whispered in the first days of the Creation under the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil: "Ye shall be as gods." It is the great alternative faith of mankind. Like all great faiths, its force derives from a simple vision. Other ages have had great visions. They have always been different versions of the same vision: the vision of God and man's relationship to God. The Communist vision is the vision of Man without God.
It is the vision of man's mind displacing God as the creative intelligence of the world.”
Whittaker Chambers, Witness
Under the religion of Militant Secularism, members insist that they themselves are the arbiters of good and evil. Have no doubt: every Democrat voter is a disciple of this bizarre religion.
"Classical liberalism, the optimistic doctrine that gave us liberty, democracy, progress, was a moral project. It held that human society could always better itself by encouraging the good and diminishing the bad. It rested, therefore, on a very clear understanding that there was a higher cause than self-realization: that there were such things as right and wrong and that the former should be preferred over the latter.
But the belief that autonomous individuals had the right to make subjective judgment about what was right for them in pursuit of their unchallengeable entitlement to happiness destroyed that understanding. Progressives interpreted liberty as license, thus destroying the moral rules that make freedom a virtue."
Melanie Phillips
" When morality became privatized, the questions “what is right” became “what is right for me.” Feelings... became the arbiters of behavior. Rather than traditional taboos, only religiously based moral judgment was deemed taboo. The harm caused to abandoned spouses or children by adultery or desertion- harm that can be objectively documented in rates of ill health, depression, educational underachievement, criminal behavior- was all but ignored, while damage done to people’s feelings by condemnation of their adultery or desertion was considered unforgiveable."
"The World Turned Upside Down," Melanie Phillips, chapter 14
Yet the careful and assiduous manipulation of the sources of dissemination of knowledge has allowed the religion of death to surpass the religion of life.
