    Power corrupts. Ultimate power corrupts ultimately. Story as old as time. That’s something the people should understand that think you can cure authoritarianism with authoritarianism, as long as you follow the one true holy book.

      Well a lot of those people are just fundamentally taught that anything Sky Daddy does quite literally is the very concept of good and just, and seem to be genuinely incapable of their own independent moral reasoning.

      I know because that is how I was raised, good thing I’m more curious and inquisitive than I am blindly faithful.

      We’ve got something around a third of the US that is ready and eager to install some kind of an overt theocracy, if you haven’t heard of the Seven Mountains movement/concept look it up.

      These people are fundamentally driven by irrational delusions and falsities and lies and obvious logical paradoxes, all plastered over with ‘faith’ that simply serves as a justification for hatred and bigotry.

      I know not all religious people are like this, many of them are much more reasonable.

      But we have ya’ll qaeda here at home, and they will destroy everything they do not understand if they are not countered.
