I see. Perhaps some study on the origins and history of religion on your planet might be indicated. While there are those that have used religion to oppress a populace or a group of people, your conclusion that religions have been "...perpetrated by the religious elite in an attempt to control the masses through intimidation and manipulation..." is, I am sorry to say, quite incorrect. Your assertion would mean that I have been manipulated and controlled into believing I have a spiritual essence. You may be talking about dogma, which is another thing altogether. You believe yourself to be a piece of animated meat, like an insect or a fish. Perhaps this is what makes you different from the vast majority of other people on your planet. A suggestion: it is difficult to get people to agree with your "White Racialist" ideas when you are the only person that has them. It sounds insane to most normal people. Finally, you may have a surprise coming when your "White Racialist" body assumes room temperature, and you discover that souls have no color. On Flamfoozy, we proved the spiritual essence of our race about 3,000 of your years ago...but that's another story. Until then, remember the old saying: "What goes around, comes around."
