Very interesting interview. I am very close to her thinking on this subject! I think that there is a divine spark in each human who lives on this earth, and he gave us a wonderful present - "le libre arbitre" - so it's up to us to make the good choices in our life and for the future of humanity. If he hadn't given us this freedom, God would be nothing more than a dictator. He is like a good father/mother who has understood that kids have to make their own mistakes to understand what is good and what is bad, even if we take the the risk to hurt ourselves. He can give us rules and advice but we have to experiment by ourselves to find the right way to live together in peace and in respect for the place where we live.
