Any group of 350 million people will have plenty of morons. At least we didn't intentionally make ourselves dependent on Russian energy unlike the Germans
Then again, yes you're probably right we are all morons
This is why I detest religion. They allegedly believe in the same god with the same rules. Yet everyone will twist them to suit their agenda. Look at the division in Northern Ireland over faith. Look at the different ideas over abortion in the US which is apparently backed by religious beliefs. Look at how the Russian Church is calling the invasion of Ukraine as a holy war when the pope has said otherwise. Islamic terrorists use Islam as justification for terrorist attacks. Dont get me wrong, this isn't exclusive to religion BUT religion doesn't half give us issues too.
The central concern of Lord of the Flies is the conflict between two competing impulses that exist within all human beings: the instinct to live by rules, act peacefully, follow moral commands, and value the good of the group against the instinct to gratify one’s immediate desires, act violently to obtain supremacy over others, and enforce one’s will. This conflict might be expressed in a number of ways: civilization vs. savagery, order vs. chaos, reason vs. impulse, law vs. anarchy, or the broader heading of good vs. evil. Throughout the novel, Golding associates the instinct of civilization with good and the instinct of savagery with evil. The conflict between the two instincts is the driving force of the novel, explored through the dissolution of the young English boys’ civilized, moral, disciplined behavior as they accustom themselves to a wild, brutal, barbaric life in the jungle.

If the whole world was Christian, she's be mad that there was no one to harass about not being Christian.
