Accurate diagnosis. Any group claiming divine coronation is, by definition, a tumor in our species. That bias must lead to seeing other groups of humans as inferior. Even if the holy ones treat the others well (as favored pets or prize livestock) the relationship is completely framed by a superiority assumption. As the great Doug Stanhope stated "traditions are dead people's luggage. Drop that shit".

So well said! Good for you. The sad thing is when I was a much younger man a very wise man said we will never have peace because we can't even sit down at the table and agree that we are all human. I have never forgotten those words. Maybe one day it will happen but I don't think it will happen in our lives. I wish you the best.
