The Religious Right Stealing Subjugating Strategies since at least 250 BC [View all]
The oldest playbook in the world!
All religions are examples of socially responsive creations, rather than a creator creating them. They reflect the makeup of any given society at any given time, they do things that society wants them to do...
Theocracies (and wannabee theocracies aka the religious right) are merely dictatorships with an invisible immortal ruler who cannot be removed and must be obeyed. And therein lies the problem, the God (s) created by man is the ideal tool for anyone wanting to exert political power within a social construct and they have been playing the same game for millennia!!!
