fact is, we are told by Ra that the negative influences prefer to manipulate and emphasize the weaknesses/distortions found in an entity. this is not any different with societies.
Quote:had the one god/religion cult, not been a fertile ground for manipulation, we wouldnt have all these religious exploitation structures.No then they would be purely non religious exploitation structures... You know like economics. Like politics and like the big media. Oh wait, we have those too.
Quote:fact is, bigotry and hatred in religion is indeed different from bigotry and hatred in soccer. because, it depends on unquestioned belief in something unverifiable. furthermore, it requires resignation of the faculties of will and reason to the unverifiable source. which then always turns into trust in its 'messengers' or intermediaries.Nonsense. This is your prejudice about religion kid. We already know you have an issue with religions. Your personal opinion, if you don't like it stay away. Don't try to re-frame reality.
Quote:if you say politics, you would find that the same gene is in effect in politics too, in fact actually the very religiousness of such people, directly affect their political views, making them act the same regarding unquestioned dogmatic trust, regarding people too.So it's not a religious thing then? I already told you that it also occurred in politics and sports. it's tribalism pure and simple, not religion.
Heck if you give 50% of people a blue shirt and 50% an orange shirt they'd instinctively sort themselves by color. AND begin to mistrust the other color.
