Why the Hate of the Other? Why?


I found this post on Genocide for Jesus by Emproph.

I read this sort of thing and start reciting my mantra:
"Picture a circle outlined by dots.
No one of those dots is any better or worse than any other dot.
Each is necessary in order to complete the circle.
Each Soul is exactly where it needs to be
along the path leading back to the All that Is."

But, oh, it's hard to believe, sometimes. This is one of those times.

Telling myself, "Maybe it's karma. Maybe it's balancing the universe to suffer torture and death because you happen to be perceived as outside the norm," doesn't help me get past the gut wrenching disgust I feel toward my species. It just doesn't help.

"Why?" A dysfunctional anterior cingulate cortex.

But then, I suppose we all know that.

hi, Ellen--
I guess my theory is fear.
but that's not good enough.

Never saw this blog. I do not know why. But only the vulnerable are usually hurt.

Religion has been used as the cause or the reason for this type of activity for thousands of years of course.

The money changers appear to be doin all right. I guess you just pick and choose the lines you need to proceed.

Thank you for showing me this web site.

you're welcome, dickday.

yep. religion has SO much to answer for. not that it ever will, of course. it's almost enough to turn thinking people into atheists. it IS enough to turn many of us away from organized religion.

maybe, to my comment above about fear, I need to add greed. only, even that doesn't explain it.
