Case in point: during a famed fire several years ago that killed many people... seven walked out a visably open door at the back of a room, while 100's perished at the bottleneck of the front door.
Which group would you be in?
Now I don't know what a panic situation holds for me....but I don't think I would head for a 3x7 door with a whole room moving towards it!
And transversely...can we say the masses will act like us?
I say the masses will act in the worst or best way possible depending on what is evident before them.
Well, as much as we all like to think of ourselves as "different" and "unique", we ARE the masses. We act like the majority of society. Besides, we aren't talking about me specifically, we are talking about the world.
I believe that general behavior would not change much if at all. There is evidence of this by looking at atheist cultures like many European countries.
God doesn't guide societies. Societies guide god.
