Worship of The Jealous Angry God gave us the Crusades, Inquisitions, (contributed to the) Black Death, and Islamic conquests. Worship of the Volk gave us the European theatrer. Emporer worship gave us the Pacific theater. Worship of Marxism gave us the Soviets and ChiComs. Worship of multiculturalism and sensitivity gave us the troubles we have now. Worship of the environment might well give us a collapsed economy.
Nope.........

Worship of these did NOT cause the effects you describe. Trying to force ones WILL onto others, did.

Two different things.

Here PIGGY, Piggy, piggy.

Let's read it in context.

Matthew 7
 
 1.  "Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
 2.  For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
 3.  "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
 4.  How can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
 5.  You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
 6.  "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
 7.  "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
 8.  For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
 9.  "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
 10.  Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
 11.  If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
 12.  So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
 13.  "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
 14.  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

(Would someone rather be called a dog?)
