    Humanity is the true evil in the world. Some twats make up some stories a couple thousand years ago, and a bunch of real bright people believe it as fact. People then hide their hatred behind “faith” and “god”. We allow those people into positions of power, and look what happens? They now impose their hatred upon us.

    Getting the Christian’s out of all levels of government won’t solve everything, but it would certainly help.

      I have hope that maybe one day humanity can get past its simian inclinations to hoard resources and use violence to steal resources from rivals. We have laws against lots of transgressions and passions, except greed. Capitalism lacks in self-awareness and self-critical analysis, and will always result in societal degeneration in service of profit and private property.

      Socialism engages in self-analysis and a scientific approach to observing material conditions, and adjusting to those conditions for the benefit of all humanity. It is the rational conclusion. Capitalism is based in animalistic emotions.

      Ironically, Christianity preaches love, socialism and tolerance, of course with many contradictions to that in its texts. In some ways, religion can encourage people to act with more intelligence and empathy than apes. Its followers twist the beliefs to justify their own animalistic, tribal impulses founded in an evolutionary heritage where resources were scarce.
