| I've commented before on the disconnect religious people feel from their planet and their fellow humans. Most religious texts encourage the faithful to consider themselves apart from nature and humanity. They are special creations, they are unrelated to all the other animals, they are called out from among the unbelievers. They believe the planet was created for their use and that they were given dominion over it.
All their beliefs encourage disunity and disassociation. Throw in a belief that these are the endtimes, a belief that has persisted for over 2000 years, and you have every reason, if you're religious, to feel like all the other animals, unsaved humans and the planet itself are of no importance. |
