The State is religion now

[Skull]

At least in Dallas TX Catholic church, during holy Mass. Priest calls cops on pregnant woman with a babe in arms for... drum roll... not wearing a mask!




Will Jewish, Islamic & Buddhist temples be so compliant? If so, Marxists of all stripes will celebrate.

The State has been a religion for a long time....The WuFlu fascism has merely made the fact glaringly evident.

Socialism intentionally denies examination because it is irrational. There is no formal defined dogma of socialism. Instead there is only a vague, rosy notion of something good, noble and just: the advent of these things will bring instant euphoria and a social order beyond reproach. Socialism seeks equality through uniformity and communal ownership Socialism has an extraordinary ability to incite and inflame its adherents and inspire social movements. Socialists dismiss their defeats and ignore their incongruities. They desire big government and use big government to implement their morally relativistic social policies. Socialism is a religion. The religious nature of socialism explains their hostility towards traditional religions which is that of one rival religion over another. Their dogma is based on materialism, primitive instincts, atheism and the deification of man. They see no distinction between good and evil, no morality or any other kind of value, save pleasure. They practice moral relativity, indiscriminate indiscriminateness, multiculturalism, cultural Marxism and normalization of deviance. They worship science but are the first to reject it when it suits their purposes. They can be identified by an external locus of control. Their religious doctrine is abolition of private property, abolition of family, abolition of religion and equality via uniformity and communal ownership. They practice critical theory which is the Cultural Marxist theory to criticize what they do not believe to arrive at what they do believe without ever having to examine what they believe. They confuse critical theory for critical thinking. Critical thinking is the practice of challenging what one does believe to test its validity. Something they never do.

IMHO, there is a concerted effort among some statists to eliminate as much as possible the influence that religion has over so many people and transfer that power to the state. They're doing a good job of reducing the influence of religion, but not so good at transferring that trust and allegiance to the state, mostly cuz they're doing such a shit job of governing.
