The most casual study of history will reveal that virtually all wars, crusades, jihads and casual violence in general have been based on a myth--the myth that one nation, religion, political system, gender or race is somehow better than another. The very title of this forum--presumably ironic--reflects this myth.
The fact is, no one is better than anyone else, for any reason. We are All One. Being smarter, younger, older, richer, stronger, taller or WHATEVER-er does not make one better. Just different.
Many will find this hard to accept. The Jews have been kidding themselves for milennia with this myth--"chosen people,' indeed. Some Protestants have been doing the same thing, with the nonsense that wealth is a sign of God's special favor.
God loves us all equally and unconditionally.
Whenw we realize this, we can be more accepting of each other, happier, less stressed out. There is no need to judge or to condemn. Remember--what you condemn will condemn you; what you judge, you will become.
I would not say this if it were not so.
