It appears that this is an extension of the age-old concept that God is for us and against the "other" guy. This belief is witnessed at football or other sports functions where each team "prays" that God will bless their team with a win! And, of coure, there must be someone who loses.
We also see this belief manifesting in organizations that promote an idealogy in which God supports whatever behavior advances its idealogy - regardless of the consequences. "If God is for us, who can be against us." The difficulty arises in my mind when there are so many varied groups with conflicting idealogies who all believe God is for them and act from that belief. Separation, often unwittingly, promoted causing pain and suffering for so many.
In Science of Mind, we acknowledge that Spirit - or God - is a principle. As a principle, or energy, or intelligence - it has no preferences - period. It simply IS. And, the power that it is flows in and through all (ALL) of its creation. As a result, God is neither good nor bad, right or wrong, etc.
As human beings, we can use this power which flows in and through us to create good - or not; the choice is ours. The more good we choose to create and the more we align with a good that works for everyone - no exceptions - the greater will be our experience of good in our own lives.
Blessed be
