    Religion has had a stranglehold on society for millennia, and now that their power is slowly fading away as people turn away from it they are lashing out.

    They’re too short-sighted to see that this behavior is only going to push more people away from them and hasten their decline.

      Ironically the religious view that evil exists in certain types of people is something that I’ve recently adopted.

        Really? Over the last decade or so I’ve moved more towards a material conditions view, where material conditions is inclusive of neurotype - some people are naturally high anxiety, low openness, high purity sense, and high traditionalism, and that’s not something they have direct control over - and even if they did, they wouldn’t have control over the algorithm that drives them towards a given set of values for those parameters, and even if they did, they wouldn’t have control over the algorithm that decides which algorithm to use for deciding which algorithm to use for deciding those values, ad infinitum. The buck grounds out in things outside our control.
