Binary Oppositions: Good vs Evil, Us vs Them mindset.
Text of excerpt, if available
A Persian poet once wrote, “We can’t accept that everything that happens to us, is our own doing. We need someone to thank and someone to blame; so, we created the concept of God and the Devil.” A recent research study by Psychology Today suggests that when people are victims of disease, they search for someone to blame for their misfortune—and often that search to explain suffering leads people to blame God.
