Go to Religion is a Sham

Well, my point is, that many people are raised to respect God over
Government. Therefore, they often become government leaders. They do not fear the government, because their true leader is God. So, that said, a person who goes to church learns all sorts of symbolic ways of looking at things and saying things, such as "building a house", with that concept representing the entire structure of the person's society and those close to them.

And about tearing down a person's house . . .
That would be illegal. Where in heck did that come from? Thank, man, think. Destroying other people's property will get you put into jail and sued. But, the right to express opinion about religion, government, policies, etc., is a "God-Given Right" according to the founders of our nation. Again, I recommend you read our Constitution, You-look-fabulous.

Religion is a sham, and I freely admit people are open for beiong cheated if they think it will get them into heaven. The president is our leader, by law, in case you haven't read the Constitution lately. You obviously don't know me, because I have said uncomplimentary things about the president, Congressmen, Senators, IRS, VDOT and a host of other federal, state and local officials and agencies. And your point was?

But, can you speak for God?
For instance, if I were your neighbor, and I were building a house, and had all sorts of plans for making it a wonderful place, but you came over when I was only half finished and knocked it down, saying, you don't think I need a nice house, how do you know?
Your leader is probably the President of the United States. Do you go around calling the IRS a sham? Some people can't respect the President. They need a spiritual leader instead. That's fine with me. What's wrong with that?
