  1. Zealots have always been the problem within any religion, and they still exist. After all, what is religion but "the belief in, and worship of, a superhuman controlling power." The idea of gods grew from myths created around the earliest rulers, as well as the differing aspects of nature. That is the root of the three estates. However, a person's political beliefs bother me more than their religion, as there are some real authoritarian radicals within the population, even within all the religions. As an example, Hitler's new religion was mainly neo-Hinduism, which was a fad of the fascists. Worse, are the authoritarian political parties that replace religion with a cult of personality (Stalinism, Maoism, etc). Mix authoritarian politics with religious zealotry, though, and you have a real problem on your hands, which is why there is no peace in the Middle-East. Add to that today's war by proxy, between the West and East, which was traditionally aimed at keeping the "Bear" north of Persia, and it's much worse. That is still playing out over oil and gas, today. The Bible had one thing correct, which is that money is the root of all evil. Mix money with the seven cardinal sins, and you produce the worst of the lot.

  2. Mr. Webb, this is off topic, but I believe that you might be interested in this. DNA & the Origins of Peoples: The Armenians: https://youtu.be/etBNo0638Pw?t=1025 (Starts at end of introductions. At the Library of Congress 2014.) Website: https://www.loc.gov/item/webcast-6311 Pertinent history: Armenia, the Land of Noah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgL2IKV8UB0 A trip to all corners of Armenia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6mQByAGGUs Georgia & The Great Caucasus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLXWC4enm_I Georgia - The Hidden Heart of the Caucasus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku-LCu7aWiM Notice the similarities between the myth of Noah and Promethius. In myth, Polyphemus (father of Celts and Gauls) supposedly lived beside Promethius on the mountain. On either side of the Caucasus were where farming and herding began, as the mountain ranges of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus, and southern Urals, holds the caves, as well as the paintings of the Auroch, of the early hunter-gatherers. I believe the Kurgan hypothesis more, as the northern side has more flat and fertile land, where recorded history leads to both sides of the Volga river, up to Samara. That is, supposedly, where the horse was tamed, and the wheel was invented. Also, I noted that a small ice age occurred at about 6200 BC (8.2-kiloyear event), which could have caused a migration. Some have claimed that the Caucasus Mountains weren't easily crossed, but the mountains could be bypassed along the shore of the Caspian Sea (Dagestan area), where the culture could easily spread south. The Black Sea side, not so easy, but a migration through Ukraine, and into Romania was very possible, which the Kurgan hypothesis shows. I also believe that this area was behind the myth of Dionysus, Bacchus, and Osiris (blood), which are tied to wine, vineyards, and agriculture. Georgia claims to have had the first vineyards and wine. Also, this agriculture was brought to the Nile. https://altaplaniciewines.wordpress.com/2014/09/15/wine-ancient-egypt/ None the less, many will not like these conclusions. Pay close attention to the history of both Armenia and Georgia, as well as where the R1 haplogroup migrated to (Africa).
