It's not an accident either

I think it is spot on, and that is very bad for the human race! Until everyone realize the negativity religion has played throughout recorded history and that regardless of wealth,color and political views, we all eat shit sleep the same basically, we will never find world peace and harmony! My opinion for what its worth!

Unfortunately yes,There may be hope if the young are able to dispell the control of the evangelicals and provide rational thought to living in society.

Yeah that sounds about right. Sadly I think it has become an inherent quality of mankind to identify differences to isolate others and push ones self up. Kids can innocently start the cycle and become quite brutal towards others. I have a son, now 35 that was born differently abled and through his eyes I have constantly seen a very ugly side of humanity.

It would have been something else eventually if not for those things. You think cavemen didn't have the same problems with different reasoning?

I do not. I have managed to get mad at people who were basically carbon copies of myself.

The way I would rephrase it:

>We were all just humans until we got old.

Just the way it is, older we get the more tribal we become. As a whole the mean age of humanity is increasing (thank you antibotics and birth control) which creates the side-effect we have today of humanity getting more tribal. Watch kids, they readily form friendships. Watch the elderly they readily form armed camps.

Anyone who thinks we become more tolerant and accepting as we age has never met a fox news viewer.

no,
humans evolved gradually, there was never a non human who gave birth to a human, many humans evolved gradually both at the same time and over thousands of years. Migration added to the variations as we adapted to new environments. Politicians are sub human.
