In his Expanding Mental Universe, written in 1959, Bertrand Russell explained the danger generated by hatred: … “Although we have been told on Sundays to love our neighbor, we have been told on weekdays to hate him, and there are six times as many weekdays as Sundays. Hitherto, the harm that we could do to our neighbor by hating him was limited by our incompetence, but in the new world upon which we are entering there will be no such limit, and the indulgence of hatred can lead only to disaster.”
And to think that in the Philippines, we would rather love God up there with hatred for one
another down here. Poch Suzara

My slogan in the vein of Russel's ruminations is this:
Any creature whose power to destroy its own kind is greater than its will to seek common ground is doomed.
A "creator" who sets his creatures against each other and incites heartless atrocities is inconceivable to me. Our situation begs any open minded observer to presume people only claim devine origins for their programs and pogroms because they know no rational explanation could be found or accepted yet the animal shivering within them feels unsafe and the program of destruction is the appealing solution...it is so sick.
