I think that’s kind of silly. Even if they succeeded in eliminating all the things they would “fear” from the world…they would be the ones to fear. Plus, there are plenty of irrational fears. Most animals, for instance. A child can be afraid of a bug, but does that mean it will hurt the child? No, killing all of those bugs wouldn’t help–in fact, if taken to the wrong extent, it’d destroy the ecosystem.
I don’t think they’re very rational types prone to making logical decisions. They’re just trying to rationalize their evil actions by calling it something good, even if it makes no sense.
Great story line Blake! I just got the Hungry Ghost cd in the mail yesterday. I like it. It has a unique sound and great lyrics. Bravo!
Anyone who preaches fear as a means of control is dangerous. Fear is important but it shouldn’t be a guide to how we act. A amygdala is activated and creates the fear, it is other parts of our brain that modify it and analyze it to see if its valid. Too many people aren’t doing the second part and want a parental figure to make it all better. Police states operate that way. Whether Iran or the old USSR. Secular of theocratic it can still be bad. It all depends on the humans above all.
Personally I’d think that Bigotry causes more fear than superstition
Bigotry usually finds it’s roots in superstition and/or religion though.
