There are two groups of people who think there is an invisible omniscient mind that acts as the policeman and judge of the entire universe of a trillion, trillion, billion stars. Each group has their own personal spiritual telephone connection to the universal judge which is operated by squatting or lying down.
The omniscient mind provides negative thoughts toward each opposing group. The two groups, who have hung out around the eastern Mediterranean for a few thousand years, think that they each have special rights to the land that no humans had trod on for four billion years, and that some humans first occupied about 80 thousand years ago.
About every thousand years the definitely real and obviously existential spiritual telephone operator tells the two groups that they are each chosen to have the land and that they are SPECIAL. In that case sharing the land is obviously not an option. It is unacceptable to have special humans mixing with sub-standard humans. So a killing game is held for a while. Surely it’s time for both groups to hang up that phone for good.
