Religious factor is about meanness, not morality

[Cocoa]

We shouldn't make the mistake of believing that the legions of people that voted for Bush claiming religious reasons were just innocent, misled people.

We should forget about trying to expose their folly, or trying to expose the hypocrisy of their moral leaders. The fact is, they are willingly overlooking reality.

They themselves are hypocrites, their religion is just a cover for bigotry and meanness.

Not sure how to deal with this, but I think it starts with seeing things as they are. Maybe the next step is to call them on it.

1. True. True. True.

And it isn't about "social issues" or "values" or "morals".

It's about SEX.

We've got to start talking about things plainly.

2. It's not about sex

It's about DOMINATION, control and this might makes right mentality,( thier assumed entitlementof superiority that is a lie).It's about the human will to abuse and exploit others for thier own purposes wants,amusement ect,And creating or cultivating in human hearts the kind of culture that enables and tolerates "kings" tyrants,abuse domination,and scapegoating exploitation and elitism.It;s about power,and misusing power to rape,take,steal,pillage opress,and make people submit.It;s about controlling how others live,express themselves talk and belireve,it's about mind control,social conttrol and the kind of monolitic fascist monoculture that will end pluralism and diversity.It's about making humanity accept bullies,thieves,sociopaths narcissists as thier'superiors' and manipulating for a cultural sanction for abuse,exploitation,lies,hurting the'weak'as the 'strong' define them, ,and destroying the postive parts of humanity and the world .
It's about creating a world without love(not sex).Rethugs have loveless sex,plenty of it..But do they connect like people with emotions and empathy,nope.They are sociopaths,narcissists bullies and enablers who internalized thier opressors will.
