Religious control (none / 0)
It has always amazed be how there are so many supposed "freethinkers" who support any kind of questioning of a government or a philosophy. However, when it comes to a religion, well that is just an untouchable subject. You MUST listen to the church elders. It is stories like this that make me so glad that I am free from any gods. I love being an atheist.

I guess when it comes down to it, if you give people no option, such as "listen to my decrees or burn in hell", then they are obviously going to, to use the words of Cenk, "Bow their heads" and do what they are told.

...but greed’s ok. They can't even see their own hypocrisy through the dollar signs. My favorites are the ones that are against abortion but also against single payer healthcare and any social safety nets that would deter abortions, let alone sex education. 

Another case in point is all these “abstinence only” boys and girls that are sucking cock and taking it in the ass like no one’s business, yet consider themselves virgins. The moral shell game starts very young when the rules and the rule makers are intellectually conflicted.


That may be my new definition of conservative, the “intellectually conflicted”. What do you think?
