No people/tribe can survive when its cultural elites say “we’re the worst/we’re horrible/we’re bad”. People are attracted to ideologies that say “we’re number one, we’re the best”.
You can get along alright with a belief system that puts you in the middle.
But our elites are demonizing the majority of the population, putting white men on the bottom of a new caste system. That some of them then flee to a religious system that puts them at the top of the pecking order is not surprising. Giving them a diety’s permission to live down to their lowest impulses is only a plus.
Besides who would kill spiders for me? Yikes!! Isn't that a man's job? I remember it in the 10 commandments or something. Don't you?
