Being apes, we will always love slinging shit at others, whether it's for being poorer, richer, smarter, dumber, different skin, etc.
Religion is the vehicle which divinely legitimises these xenophobic feelings we have towards each other.
Religion brings gang warfare into the household. It's very hard to shake off since we are predominantly emotional animals.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
