I’m not convinced deities or entities had involvement in every bit of minutia, if there even are any (I haven’t found any at any rate… not that my experience encompasses all of lived reality of course). It does provide a cover story for a local ‘civilization’ to explain their exploitation of the ‘other’ though. No thanks to Saul/Paul of Tarsus, to name one militant bastard of an evangelizer (going to nip that sidebar rant in the bud though).
It’s a sometimes extremely unfortunate trait in the universe that living beings gravitate around certain nuclei and repel others, or are repelled by them… often aggressively. Probably purely coincidental, physics being the root of it all. And misunderstandings/accidents/misfirings in complex circuitry. We wouldn’t have tragedies otherwise. Hence the phrase ‘the banality of evil’.
I mean… think of the fact that eons of complex energetic interaction somehow resulted in a spray-tanned man in the White House eating too much KFC while reading Mein Kampf and farting into the Oval Office furniture cushions while blaming it on his sons…
Like seriously what in the actual fuck. Pisses me off to no end.
