--that they place man above nature (with women and animals below). I think the idea of dominion -over- the Earth, instead of being stewards -of- the Earth, is dominant religions' greatest and most destructive teaching. isn't it this disease of the human ego that separates us from our natural selves and the planet, that can be healed by opening our hearts?
I love this post, thank you.
