None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God and state. One is entrenched around the world. The other is being uprooted as the lies and deception from the pious are made clear to everyone. Progress in science shines light on mysteries that were once in the realm of gods. God is nowhere to be found. God becomes more distant with every discovery. The idea of god is destined for mythology in the near future.
What relevance is this to state? State and god are entwined. Their relationship throughout history has been absolute. State, until the American Revolution, was always the method in which the church exacted its worldly control over the heretic. What is blasphemy to a heretic? It is nothing until penalized by the state.
Without enforcing god’s word, what use is there of the state? I assure you, the desire for power over men is not vanquished when separating church from state. The purpose of state has been purified! Before, wielded power over men was veiled as power from on high! Now, it is power from men in Washington, for the sake of knowing better than you. I am elected by your peers! I know better than you! I know nothing of your life, but I am endowed with arbitrary power by your fellow sheep. I know better than you on spending your money. I know better than you on how your land can be used. I am superior to you in how you and your property can serve the public good!
Is it not obvious? These people have no interest in you. Their efforts are for themselves, and whatever means needed to maintain such power over you. Your “choice” in the matter comes years apart. The candidates must meet requirements setup and controlled by your elected slave-masters. The game is rigged in their favor. Only candidates that will maintain the reigns of the state over the people can meet such regulations.
This is a rigged game that we must stop playing.
