I can't say that I disagree with anything here. What bugs me about it is that at an idea at the core of many religions is that all us humans are of one kind, some particular expression of the universe (however that's conceptualized), and can/should act in that fashion, towards each other and the world around us.

But it's almost always turned into a footnote among a bunch of other bullshit that perpetuates tribalism, subjugation and violence. Going to use words that are easily poked apart, but I hope the idea comes across: we all contain something of the divine. It's a miracle we exist at all, and maybe it's possible we can all act like it and set aside meaningless divisions. One 'tribe', the world over, created by mutual recognition and respect rather than force and othering.

Literally all the bones are there, you just have to cast out the outdated divisive bullshit. But doing so also involves actively rejecting some ugly facts about humans as a group, which is, well, hard - to put it mildly.

Idk - this is all why I don't talk about my beliefs (such as they are) too much, and just try my best to act with the good stuff above in mind as much as possible.
