You are a leftist from all the posts I've read of yours. This makes your statement about having your own brain incorrect. All I ever see from you is information that OTHERS have gleaned for THEIR agendas, which you gladly regurgitate. You fall for THEIR advertising of an evil GOP each and every day. So lets quit with the nonsense about you having a brain or being an independent thinker, shall we?
As for Religion telling you what to do? You'd rather have government do that for you. Since government IS your religion, you've made another false statement.
I'd say I'm center left. I did that political quiz where about are you on the spectrum thing the other day, just over on the left, down towards Libertarian.
Okay, so you think I don't think for myself and just use what other people have told me. Like what? Give me some examples.
Religion is my govt? Really?
Govt is there to make sure that we have a society that we want. Religion is there for what?
Would I rather have the "the sun revolves around the earth because we don't know any better" or "the earth revolves around the sun because we've actually looked" sort of thing?
I don't particularly like govt, democratic govts are the best of a bad bunch, I think PR is the best of the democratic ways, though not necessarily pure PR.
As for your statement about making a false statement, if that's what you want to believe, then believe it. You're wrong, you don't understand me, that's fine, i can cope with that.
