Re: Monotheism
You're quite right, Raoul, and by design or evil fortuity, monotheism has also ordained that immense power gets concentrated in the hands of a few, who so frequently have perverted its noble aspirations to engage in conquest and slaughter, and then rewrite the history books to make themselves look better.
A lot of the world's problems swing on this simple fact.
Power corrupts, as the old saw goes, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
To retain power, those who wield it will attempt to control the present, the future, and the past. It is naive to think otherwise.

ps. Sometimes, even the losers are able to rewrite history.
