The most frequently quoted book in the world is the Hebrew Bible. To many this text represents world law written by men.
Dear Ones,
The following Holy Writ occurs in Psalm 105.
""He brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness; and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labor of the people."
In time the heathen meant American Indians and American Africans. The words of these same ancient books monks also changed to suit their own opinions, with no editors or oversight that gave them free license to do so.
The same theme of oppression is proclaimed in Paul's letter to te Corinthians, now a name of one book of the New Testament:
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with the unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you."
Eventually the pious proclaimed the "unrighteous" were anyone who rejected the dogmas of ancient writers who thought each eclipse of the moon meant a monster took a bite out of it.
Through gullible belief that these human beings are inferior and don't deserve inherited human rights still leads to suffering from bigotry that men wrote thousands of years ago. You can't get more ingrained programing that such archaic laws men continue to declare came from gods.
Americans are still reaping the aftermath of extremist religionist killing and abusing people having more protective pigment than those of the culprits peddling theology through government and political positions. This is the most dangerous threat today as the realm of religion gone awry blows up Earth and all living things through violence and terrorism worldwide.
