Genuine self-esteem creates humility - a realization that while your life has great worth, so does everyone else's. Those who think other people's lives have no worth are not feeling self-esteem, but the fearful and all-too-common cry of the human ego: "Other people are a threat to me - I must crush them to be successful."

And you don't have to be a gang member or crime boss to feel that way - we see it right here on FR, among nominal "Christians" when they discuss Muslims and the relative merits of nuking Mecca.

Does your hatred of religion infect every discussion you take part in? It's off topic here and adds nothing to the discussion. Please give it a rest. This is a discussion about education.
