| Ok, I didn't specify a percentage of people that tend to take the bash approach as compared to trying to be constructive with it. I also acknowledge that one of the basic human traits is to respond to fear or ignorance with anger and violence.
What I would like to get at here is a little deeper than that. We are supposedly advanced beings able to overcome our irrational instincts by logical thought. We are supposed to be 'civilized' people who can treat each other fairly and courteously.
And yet we continue to show our bad side as our face to the world...
Why? Specifically with religion where the message is portrayed as hopeful, kind, and generous in most cases. |
