Reply #1: Mindless robots don't read [View All]

[get the red out]

Unfortunately mindless robots don't read or think for themselves, they are told what to believe by their preachers and stick with that. It is so much like the Catholic Church operated in the Middle Ages prior to printing presses and when the only literate people were the aristocracy, monks, and priests. Written music itself was created so that particular parts of the Bible that they wanted the uneducated people to know could be put to the same melody and chanted over and over to the people for them to memorize (Gregorian Chant). And the people were kept afraid and submissive, and to go against the "Church" was death.

Now most people in this country can read and are perfectly capable of thinking for themselves, but they are scared into submitting that power to others. The preachers today must be crafty, and they are, because of literacy and that irritating Constitution. The Gregorian Chant has been replaced with famous TV Preachers, devious use of the term "Family Values" and right wing radio. And anything that goes against the greed of the current Christo-fascist Corporatocracy is "evil". So anything "green" is "evil", any talent that doesn't benefit them is "evil", anyone who isn't a straight, white male or submissive white female is "evil"....... But Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, all sorts of nasty characters are "good".

If they think you are "evil" you are in the best company IMO. It's tough convincing a robot of anything, they can't even understand what someone outside their world is saying. I had a long debate with my rw cousin on FB recently, he couldn't even understand separation of Church and state by his comments. When I critized the religious right for their influence in politics he took that as a criticism of "Christian Principles". God only knows what would happen if he knew about the things that interest me spiritually on a personal level.
