    IMO, it’s because nobody does and just listens to their lower selves that these things happen. There have never been many believers in the West, nvm America… you have like two or three real ones like John Brown and that’s it.

      Um… huge swathes of the fascist right in America do. You can’t just hand wave away the bad ones and only accept the ones you like

        They believe in anything but self restraint and selflessness (Law of Moses plus teachings of Jesus, at least), so how are they believers? Their trees only produce bad fruits! If I say I’m a single celled organism, does it make me so?
