If the article
has been read as recommended, the major elements of systematic
political science, especially
theology,
epistemology, human/societal behavior and
eschatology,
should be familiar. As their connectedness becomes clearer, it is
time to examine the factors and
variables
of political science.
Once that is accomplished, it is prudent to look at the three paths
of human decision making options. Game theory matrixes were used to
collate the information
presented.
For example, all individuals must have a core of logic for the
authority/standard to understand and
base
subsequent behavior. Blaise Pascal’s work titled
Of
the Necessity of the Wager addresses this subject.
Simply said, all humans ponder how and why they exist. The possible answer
is either an infinite God exists and created, or an infinite God does
not exist nor created. The Law on Noncontradiction states something
can’t be true and not true simultaneously. Therefore, if the
answer is the former option, God has balanced attributes of love and
justice etc. If the latter option was chosen, the finite god either
is somewhat consistent with natural laws or is not. If it is the
former, this unbalanced god may have attributes of either love or
justice, or be a force. If, on the other hand, the latter was
chosen, this most finite god has situational attributes and may be
objects, animals, other humans, societal institutions, one’s
self or beings of evil.
Thus, the following three courses of human decision making options
begin appropriately with theology.
THEOLOGICAL SINGULARITIES (T)
(T1) Theology of the infinite God
An
active individual choice of faith to believe in a balanced God of
love and justice—to whom one can relate only by God’s
grace.

(T2) Theology of a finite god
An
active or de-facto individual choice to reject the infinite God for a
faith to believe in an unbalanced god of love, or justice, or a force—to
which one can relate by human effort.

(T3) Theology of finite gods
An
active or de-facto individual choice to reject the infinite God for a
faith to believe in an unbalanced god of objects, animals, other
humans/societal institutions; or one’s self; or beings of
evil—to which one can relate by human effort.
