    A childish unprincipled quote assertion.  I'll give the quote presenter some toleration of being victimized by his environment.  Nonetheless we are a living organism produced and reproduced by the evolutionary imperative.  Our ancestors came from no heaven, but from stardust.  Slowly develop emergence has allowed us to arrive from different life organisms with the mission to preserve all life.  Humankind are nature's massagers, and tell us the religious followers are ill.
