In all honesty is there a more disgusting belief in all of humanitys efforts? Is there any idea like this that is so unjust and literally goes against any and all things we think of when we think of justice?
This one disgusting idea is the real root of the fight. Perhaps all religious fights.Not a belief in God but a fear and man's fear of suffering so manifest that it must be fought against in every arena lest the belief that one can escape such a place by their personal religious leanings falls by the wayside.]
