The findings of the study revealed that people are generally a nonviolent and peaceful species.

That sorta goes against what ever book you happen to follow, doesn't it?

It made me giggle that the authors of one of the papers were hoping that governments could use their findings to control the violent urges. Governments PROMOTE them.

Government isn't going to come bail you out on this one. It's why I'm so hopeful for the future, knowing some millennials that seem to be connected across borders.

In the end, it comes down to people. "Be the change you want to see." If you like the hypocrisy and manipulation of organized religion, by all means continue. But at the very least please KNOW that you are being manipulated.

Urrrggghhh. It's all so un needed. And so ingrained.

Thanks Petra. Per normal you've knocked it out of the park with this article.
