"It is startling to realize how much unbelief is necessary to make belief possible. What we know as blind faith is sustained by innumerable unbeliefs."

• Eric Hoffer

Then -> than?

Language is more than blood... more powerful than blood? I recognise "Language of the Third Reich", it was a study on how language (most notably alien and eternal) was used to alter perceptions during the Third Reich's reign. Maybe this quote means language can turn blood relatives against each other? Or that language can dehumanise a person to the point that seeing them die (their blood spilled?) doesn't bother someone?

Yeah, I got nothing either.
