J. B. Hawthorne (1837-1910) wrote, "The spirit which prompted Cain to ask the question, 'Am I my brother's keeper?' is the spirit of Antichrist. It is the spirit which says, 'Let every man take care of himself.' It is the spirit which inspires a man to labor soley for his own advancement. It is the spirit which instigates all injustice, oppression, and cruelty. It is behind all man's inhumanity to man. It arrays neighbor against neighbor, class against class, community against community, and nation against nation."
