Somerfrost,
That's an interesting take...and I agree with most of it.
Seems that many believe deeply in their own "god (s)". More than willing to sacrifice others on the altars of their own creation.
Perhaps I simplify too much.
Yet, therein the "problem", the justification, the excuses, self-righteousness, the "offense", everything we all wish others to allow to us that we seek to deny for them.
"Who cares"?
I do.
