After Cain killed Abel, he said to God, I am afraid that everyone I meet will try to kill me.

All humans after Cain were afraid of their opponents.
All humans created gods and idols to protect them because they were afraid of them.

Those who follow out of fear are slaves.

Those who follow for the promise of reward are mercenaries.

Dear @logiczombie, You are correct!
However, I am a human being who is afraid of fear and pain and is weak to temptation!

If the state knew that I was having these conversations with Americans, I could be in a lot of trouble.
A low-status and poor person like me shouldn't have these conversations with Americans.
For example, if I tell you not to buy a Sams smartphone and TV, I'll get a prison sentence.

I am honored by your conviction.
