I didn’t want to beg the question so I’ll put a fine point on it for the sake of understanding: what I believe in is what I would call “divinity”, the ability to imagine something other than the way things are, and strive to make it a reality. Humanity is still coming up and we’re doing good in places, but our fate is still dictated by the fearful, ignorant, hateful, and violent among us. We won’t be able to reach our potential until those kinds of humans go extinct.
