The trouble/problem with most/all religions is that they pre-empt
personal decision making and personal responsibility.

A devout anybody has become enslaved to the rules and regulations as
laid forth in the texts. There is comfort in following these texts
for many people, as it absolves them of the difficulty of answering
the Difficult Questions and absolves them therefore of any
responsibility for the outcome of their actions.

At the moment they surrender their free will to the dogma, they cease
to be a human being and become a robot. They, at this point, are
philosophically DEAD. All that's now left is for the body to catch up
with the mind, which has already perished at this point.

Very keen observation Glickman... that explains what has happened to
America.. as the society has become more secular... and the numbers of
those active in churches decline... the condition of the churches left
that have been corrupted by F.A.Gs ..... etc...the state has now
enslaved the masses with "liberal" laws, regulations and rituals to
perpetuate their growth and control... over the masses...

I have to agree with all the above.

As the ACLU continues to strip any remaining evidence and symbols of
"christian" history

Thank your god.

from our society.. they replace it with the god
called "can't help myself cause I was raised this way" and
consequently enslave the population to superstitious propaganda
promoted by the F.A.G.s and Atheists.

By the time most *kids* leave elementary school, the dirty work has
already been done. Before they even know what happened to them.

Now with God supposedly out of the picture, and human responsibility
and accountability tossed out...

No, we're NOT tossing out human responsibility and accountability.
That remains. But now it is a PERSONAL responsibility and
accountability. You're not marching under anybody else's flags
anymore, or wearing their Aegis on your Shield.

the F.A.G.s, the ACLU and the liberal
establishment have completely stolen the so called "will" of the
people and turned them into mindless robots.

See above. Anybody who makes it through *middle school* with their
minds still in tact is an anomaly, and an Enemy of the State.

So as you have so keenly stated: Americans are dead.

How can it be else wise? You have no independent ideas anymore, they
are verboten. You wouldn't be able to come up with an independent
idea if your life depended on it.

They have no
soul. No purpose. No reason to exist except to work, pay taxes, serve
the city, state, and federal government employees.

Sounds about -right- to me. That's about all that is left.

And of course post
in newsgroups under the delusion that they are free and have something
worthwhile to say....

Yep

Forever sleeping their lives away in the utopia world of Cliff-Glick
land.

It is Utopia to those who don't live there. For those few that Do
live there, it is real, it is here, it is now.
