Christianity was supposed to be about becoming like Jesus. We went in the wrong direction.

Equality
An Imaginary Mathematical Abstraction

The American and French revolutions carried with it a sense of repugnance for the aristocracy that demanded subservience based on the idea that they were “better” people. While not so prevalent yet in America at the time of the revolution, this polarization is found throughout history. The Baedeker travel guide to the US in the 1800s warned European travelers to the US to treat everyone as an equal in order to get along.

The idea of equal treatment and equal opportunity morphed into an idea of intrinsic equality. Those that came to hold this view did so with a religious fervor such that any attempt to describe differences were shouted down with accusations of racism, sexism, or any other -ism that could be used to bully.

This is imaginary equality. You cannot even find identical twins that are “equal”. There are differences and those differences can be important. Mandating that 15% of all airline pilots be black is perhaps less important that mandating that all airline pilots know how to fly an airplane.

Consider comparing a gal that owns a flower shop with a guy that owns a plumbing supply store. There are those who would bemoan the disparity of income as being unequal. for these simple minded people differences in return policy, inventory costs, and marketplace competition, as well owner preferences represent a complexity beyond their ability to comprehend or care.

     
Having been successful at getting legions of people to act as sort of terrorists crying racism at every perceived instance of inequality, Satan is able to unleash his jihadis at whatever target he needs to attack.
