‘With every leftist I know, this is the characteristic about which they are most proud: They are rationalists and skeptics, with shibboleth-shorn minds free of bewitchment. The problem is, leftists who consider themselves rational and non-superstitious are like scrawny nerds who look in the mirror and see a chiseled Adonis in the reflection. One almost feels bad for people so possessed of a delusion.’
My first thought : Prayers are between the person praying and God, no one is forced to pray. The left’s money grab is forced upon everyone.
That’s really the thing here is far right and far left are in my opinion the same in action, via different methods. Both are very religious per se. Both sometimes lack vision to step back and see the broader, wider and deeper view. I don’t believe in any deity, nor religious script, however I also don’t look at a minor change in weather and go squawking about piling on crippling regulations. Nor believe throwing money at frivolous things will solve anything.
Okay, now I have to clean my monitor from coffee spew again.
Same here, and I am especially rankled by hypocrites who call others hypocrites who are not. The misuse of the term is very annoying.
