I'm a big fan of the gut punch which transitions into a hair-pull down into a knee to the face combo.

If you don't wear pants, the blood is easier to clean off.

We went from a god that encompasses all things to a god that is perfectly loving and kind and only wants the best things for us . . . and then we created Satan to be the god of all the bad things in life like death and suffering.

Yet . . . we maintain a tradition of monotheism while practicing polytheism. It would be better if we acknowledged god similarly to the eastern Tao, as a personification of nature and reality itself, rather than a God of love and compassion.

That's my $0.02

I think I might have figured out the moment things "went wrong" as it were.

Religion goes from animism (nature spirits) to polytheism (many gods representing different aspects of nature) to henotheism (one central god with lesser servile gods) to monotheism (only one god).

However, we had monotheism wherein god was all aspects of nature rolled into one. Things like good and evil couldn't be applied, just like with nature itself.

Then . . . we went backwards

You're welcome.

A really good video about equality (aka equality of outcome, equity, cosmic justice, and probably a dozen other names because communists love word games.
