"I think that stems from the 'we're on the right side' feeling"
What does that have to do with this?
- jacquesm 17y agoIt's linked to 'faith' and it's cousin 'fate', the idea that something strong flows from being on the 'right' side of a conflict and that that in turn can somehow be used to affect the outcome. Of course all sides think they're on the 'right' side, and besides that there is no deity that will intervene with reality to make a difference. But that does not seem to stop people from thinking that something will work against the 'bad guys' so that we can 'win' this thing. As long as the world is structured the way it is there will be an endless supply of 'bad guys', and some of them will be successful no matter how much we destroy our own society in order to try to thwart their plans. Being on the right side literally does not enter in to the equation, except in the heads of those that believe strongly in good and bad, and most likely in heaven and hell. Which is a good part of the cause of all this trouble anyway.
