@GKCdaily Hobbes did call the state the mortall god.

@GKCdaily State is new God. Its laws are new religion. You are sent to prison for criticising State not Church.

@GKCdaily They’re best working together

@GKCdaily @charlesmurray How can you abolish something that doesn't exist?

@GKCdaily Was Chesterton the origin of this argument?

@GKCdaily @charlesmurray People who call themselves atheists but still maintain that some territory-dominating organization has a magical exemption from moral laws really bother me.

@GKCdaily Not sure if I agree with this insertion. Perhaps on paper. Perhaps in the civil sense of security. Perhaps this. Perhaps that. But no way can this ever be true (unless by emphatic invitation) within the individual human heart whether one adheres to a God or not.

@GKCdaily When the God dominates the government dangerous things to humans can and do happen. Separating “the God” from government is not to abolish “the God.” That is the genius of the American founders.

@GKCdaily @charlesmurray Didn’t the rise of pre-modern states go hand-in-hand with the rise of formal religious institutions and a priestly caste? Divine right of kings, Mandate of Heaven, Devarāja, etc.

@GKCdaily From 'god shall provide' to 'state shall provide'

@GKCdaily @TheAliceSmith False idols

@GKCdaily There is no god. But the faith in government is the biggest cult in the world.

@GKCdaily @EdgarMellado It's not truth. The Governments becomes the reason.

@GKCdaily Governments don't want anything above them.

@GKCdaily @HumeKim And those running that government devolve into a house of Borgias. ...As in Lucretia

@GKCdaily @HumeKim Is Caesar Lord or is Jesus Lord? That is always the question.

@GKCdaily 👏👏👏

@GKCdaily @Zels77 Which is worse as a boss??
