Great damage was done to civilisation
when the philosophical concept
of an eternal and infinite consciousness and 'Prime Mover' (Primum Movens),
was somehow replaced/conflated with ...
'Yahweh'(!?) some primitive and grotesque Middle Eastern tribal deity.

Besides corrupting (purposely?) the concept of a divine consciousness,
the worshippers of 'Yahweh',
which are hostile towards everyone besides themselves,
require that one not question
their (demonstrably false) self-serving mythology,
thus precluding any actual understanding.

And that's how you get such charlatans/fools confidently advocating pure evil
(genocide, mass-theft/mass-dispossession, mass-murder, mass-infanticide, etc.),
imagining that this pleases the deity they worship.
