No matter how hard technological society keeps trying to make everything the same, God keeps making each living being different from all others. This is what God's Grace is all about. As a living being grows, so grace comes from within so that each being becomes individualized, being completely unique for the place and circumstances that that individual finds themselves in.

Even identical twins develop different from each other. Though they come from the same seed and egg, there are subtle differences at birth, and their personalities, mannerisms, appearance and responses become more unique as each year passes.

Trees are made out of "wood", and often houses or furnishings in a house are also made of "wood". Yet there is a vast difference between the two.

City planners will draw a line for a straight street, and draw a curb for that street, then along that curb they draw a line of trees - generic trees that are symbols, not depictions of any real trees.

Then men come along and cut down the trees, sending the dead wood to a mill. The mill uses machines to cut the wood into specific shapes determined by the men's needs, not the wood's nature. Then these are further cut and assembled into, perhaps, furniture. This furniture is sold and put into someone's house, where it must be protected from weather or fire and kept cleaned and oiled, or it will rot and become dirt. This is Law. Law comes from outside a being and compels that being to take a form which may be totally alien to its nature. And this applied law must be continually supported and cared for, or it will disintegrate into nothing. But in order to do this, the first thing the Law does is kill, because if the being is living, grace will develop individuality in spite of the Law.

Mass production technology of modern society is based on replaceable parts. Mass production machines can fill thousands of soda cans because they are all alike. Automobile engines have hundreds of parts, yet each individual part will fit into any engine of a particular type because they are all made the same. While in a material sense this is a blessing which enables many people to share in technological convenances, it becomes the gross evil of social collectivism when applied to human beings.

Human beings are not replaceable parts, no matter how profitable treating people as such is for the corporate bottom line. But this is what is going on when corporations manufacture in another country for lower wage costs: When individuals are ignored in job applications because they are above a certain age or have a chronic health problem: When the measure of an individual is how conformist they are, rather than how creative or original: When offending one's neighbor is more of a "crime" than drug dealing or willfully ignoring another's civil or human rights for profit - or power.

This is the "Law of Survival" for mass technology - the necessity to destroy individuality in anything, so that all things, even people, become replaceable parts of a whole. And this whole will be neither God's doing nor His people nor by His grace.

Apostle Paul wrote in his Epistle to the Romans:

"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." (Romans 1:20 NIV) And anyone who tries to truly see nature, such as an artist, will see that nature testifies that the Living God is an unique individual who creates unique individuals, not soulless collectives. Behold, sayth the Lord, I will make everything new - and He does, everyday.
