The sun was high in the sky already. I’d slept in well past 10am. […]
In order to successfully get a population of human beings to hunger for waging a brutal, unprovoked war against other human souls, you must first make your enemy completely inhuman. Make them into monsters. Barbarians. They must be evil! Galvanize righteous hatred and religious zeal against them! Explain that Jesus loves those who hate the […]
By Sean Dempsey For roughly two centuries, enlightened man was vainly assured that religion was simply a childhood illness from which civilization would eventually recover.
