Heaven help us. (Dont worry, it's just a cultural saying.) |
You know, I honestly can't decide whether I agree with this or not.
Without knowing the actual person involved, it's very (impossible?) to tell if they have a world mastery plan and are just using religion as their opiate of the masses or if they really are true believers (that also believe they can do whatever they want and use a 'I'm a weak person' get-out-of-jail-free card).
I have a hard time believing that these people are that smart (in the first case) or that dumb (in the second case).
The only other option I can think of, is pure brain washing. They have been conditioned and when combined with Morton's demon and Krueger-Dunning, we get characters like IBIG, AFDave, Floyd, and fundie Republicans.
I'm also at a loss, because I prefer to vote conservative because I am a Constitutionalist, but the theocratic world they invision scares the crap out of me.
