Unless a group of like-minded indiviuals wipe out all the
competition. I can speculate enough to see THAT as a possibility. In
fact, it's not far off from the predicted/prophesied armageddon
scenario. And, the REASON behind some of the harsher treatments for
those who broke the Torah laws, i.e., so that only like-minded people
existed.

1) God exists.
2) God is One.
3) We are OF that One. Therefore:
4) We should act to protect ourself by protecting others (a form of
'Golden Rule')
And if we ALL practiced and believed as above, the world would be a
FAR better place than it is now. Unfortunately, as I've said earlier
(as well as here, above), that may take a bit of a cull in order to
get to a 'like-minded society'.
