When you leave the illusion of certain religions do you find it easier to see how entrenched it is everywhere?

Question

Take the republican party for example. It is a lot clearer to me how much it is influenced by the Christian coalition.

You kind of develop a new perspective and can appreciate what those who don't believe have been trying to say all along...

It seems to me that there appears to be a strong attempt as of late to establish the beginnings of a theocracy. I know this has been going on for awhile but the approach is subtle this time. i.e. no Pat Robertson or John Hagee running for prez.

Not just with politics but with a lot of things.

Maybe I'm just a loon...

Answer 1

The best way to tell is look at an organization you are involved in and use the same scrutiny.  If you can see the same thing in yourself you are understanding the world.

Answer 2

I'm baffled that people still swallow the BS hook line and sinker.

I mean, people don't believe in fairies and unicorns anymore, what's the deal with giant sky gods hanging on and on and on??

Answer 3

You are right, I see it in all manner of places and situations.

Answer 4

Agreed.  My wife and I just stared at the TV while they had an invocation at the Convention.  The government asking the invisible sky daddy for assistance.  We're in deep trouble.
