I wish to express my gratitude that this site recognizes the spiritual aspect.
With respect to the request that comments are not to make ‘unsubstantiated claims’: please be informed that the courts have established that “the conscience of the individual is paramount to that of the state’.
If an individual were to read the Gospels to find that the Source of all value and worth in this world is not intended to be your property, but is intended to be shared in common;
And if an individual were to find in law that the source document the state wishes an individual to use and hold is neither personal identification nor personal property (i.e.: a security or evidence of title);
Then perhaps that individual made a terrible mistake, and that individual could take full responsibility and inform of that mistake and demand a remedy at law, because of that individual’s conscience, unrelated to the laws derived of the state.
This world doesn’t need another sign; forgive the state and persons derived.
Be the Love You Are.
