Any kind of extreme in any religion is dangerous. It's just a way to control and violate the basic human rights of others. They diminish God in our world.
Look back on your life and think about what caused you stress, unhappiness, embarrassment, and humiliation. It is unlikely you will find it was the Earth, the ocean, nature, the mountains, the plants, the animals, the wind, the rain, the snow, or the sun. It is likely you will find it was people, always the people, and the systems they created, such as work, money, laws, marriage, politics, and religion.
