How are Politics and Religion Different?

[petro]

I'm not overly concerned about your opinion

Bullshit.

Not being a squealing tRumpkin, I don't often deal in bullshit.

You do you though.

Self portrait?

Not bad, pretty close to what I had imagined in fact.

Weak.

Imagine going an entire day without thinking of Trump.

I know you can't.

 

[DOTR]

Both demand compliance to group think.
Both change direction in the middle of a sentence.
Both worship their leaders.
Both demand tithing to support the church.
Both believe in forcing their belief/will on others.
Both write songs about their glory.
Both lay claim to an omnipotent.

Am I missing something?

Much of that which we jokingly refer to as "science" has most, of not all, of those same characteristics.

hmmmmm.......

You don't understand science at all.

I don't know why I'm surprised by that......

How many genders are there?

Do humans exhibit sexual dimorphism?

Does the genotype express a different phenotype for different races?

Ok, you can find big words on the internet.

Good for you, but I don't see what difference it's makes.

To you they are "big words". You've been treated like a snowflake all your life and left uneducated so you arent familiar with these "big words" which can be found in an 8th grade biology textbook...or at least the ones I grew up with.

In short it is you who doesnt understand science. In fact you are a science denier. Thats what "difference it makes". Your complaint is that a discussion of science contains "big words"? Heres a thought...it isnt the words which are big and scary. It is the ideas behind them.

You will deny science, culture, biology and even what your own two lying eyes tell you in order to conform while you rant about other people who dont understand science. You are the epitome of the Homo Sovieticus which the communists worked so hard to create.

You asking me?

No, he's not. he's trying to prove he's smart by using large multisyllabic words.

(Neat! I can do it too!)

Sitting in front of a TV has caused a terrible fear of ideas in you which masquerades as a fear of multi-syllable words. Why dont you read a book. Some ideas, maybe even most ideas, are best expressed by multi-syllable words.
If they overload you then get back to Survivor or Dancing with the Stars.

I said they were big words, I left unspoken the part about you not knowing what they mean.

Fuckin' dumbass.

Politics usually has an actual physical being as it's focus.

Religion, at least the main stream ones, have to use their imaginations.

"Government" isn't an actual being.....But it is the God of the left, so the OP's point stands.

most countries HAVE a government -wtf are you saying?

Having a gubmint is irrelevant to the fact that it doesn't exist in the corporeal sense.....It's merely a mythical strawman under which looters, rotters, and other parasites operate, in order to give themselves an air of legitimacy.

See the "bucket test" I alluded to earlier.

It's exactly like religion, the way many people approach it.

Blind faith in programs that have never ever delivered on their promise....But just one more program (hail Mary) will make everything all better!
Suggest that people do without gubmint altogether and you'll get a litany of silly excuses that rival what you get from a devout Catholic if you told them to leave the church.
The narratives surrounding "patriotism" directly mirror religious stories and precepts.

The examples go on and on...

I believe the Left has categorized the term 'book' as hate speech.

Patriotism?


Then out spoke brave Horatius, the Captain of the Gate:
‘To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods,

Horatius at the Bridge by Lord Macaulay
