A philosophy common to right wing religious extremists (RREs) - they must protect us from ourselves. Only they are god's chosen enlightened people? Only they can can define morality?
However, in a tradition of thinking outside the box, I accuse religious conservatives of being heretics. No, they are not opposed to the thinking of the church. RREs are opposed to real religion. They oppose the real principals of god's laws. RREs are god's most unchosen people because RREs pervert the principals of honoring god.
Who are the most religious people? Not anyone who blindly preaches the Koran, Bible, or Tora. Those are heretics. They believe that all god's laws are already defined in those books. We call that myopia. Those were good books - just like the first book on geometry was a good book. It was a good first draft. But real religious people are constantly learning more of god's laws every day. The real religious people are expanding our knowledge of god's laws - physics, mathematics, astro-physics, medicine, electronics, logic, psychology, quantum mechanics, chemistry, history, genetics, material science, statistics, etc. These are all studies in god's laws.
The enemies of mankind would have us only know what was published in their first draft. RREs fear men who would expand knowledge of god's laws. They would have us all bury our heads in sand, like ostriches, because RREs are the enemy of any society that honors god.
No wonder the church imprisions Galileo. No wonder the church would have witches burned at the stake. No wonder RREs fear stem cell research. No wonder religious right extremists preach intolerance - or do so when we will not notice - when it is policitally correct and safe to be honest about RRE's real ideals.
This intolerant attitude - this need to protect society from itself - is why our president so endorses extremist right wing religious concepts. He is trained as an MBA; he endorses anti-innovative ideas so fundamentally taught in the business schools. Like RREs, our president fears innovation - the learning of more of god's laws.
Innovators are god's chosen people. They constantly seek out and learn more laws. They are not limited by a myopic and routinely distorted 10 Commandments. RRE leaders, like MBA managers, fear innovation. RREs, like bean couner mentalities, meet the definition of anti-American - people who fear to advance mankind.
Innovation is god's religion. Everyone claims to have god on their side. But those who most strive to learn more of gods laws - ie stem cell researchers - are the ones who always win the wars. God's chosen people quickly dominated in Afganistan - a slam dunk. Those who so learned god's laws dominated in the Persian Gulf war. Those who used god's laws would destroy intolerant extremists such as Nazis. The winning side did not stop learning god's laws and therefore became rich and powerful. They are god's chosen people. Among those god's laws are fundamentals of tolerance, empowerment, independence, innovation, and the advancement of mankind - something that RREs fear. The RREs would have you believe all this can be obtained in saying more prayers. The RREs are heretics.
Tolerance. Where others are permitted to try and fail. Tolerance. Where government does not legislate until industry failures require that legislation. In previous posts, we have demonstrated where innovative industries such as computers require little government regulation because the industry is so willing to advance society - in seeking more of god's laws. The finance industry has demonstrated no such responsiblity. They have violated their trust. They have failed to regulate themselves or set responsible standards. Therefore the finance industry deserves government regulation. This is not morality. This is what we have learned as we have studies god's laws - in history and other sciences. Tolerance is so important in advancing mankind - in learning more of god's laws.
There is no reason to regulate stem cell research. First the industry must be permitted to establish their own standards. Only after failing to establish standards should these researchers then be imposed with government regulation.
But back we go to the fundamental philososphy of religious right extremists. RREs are intolerant. RREs cannot trust anyone else to impose right wing morality on themselves. Only the RREs can make moral laws. They must impose their will on us - it is their duty as worshippers of a heretic religion.
The RRE will deny this - obviously since even the RRE have spin doctors. But imposing RRE morality on everyone else IS the objective of those RREs. In reality, RREs do not represent god. Those who are tolerant are god's chosen people. Those who innovate. Those who advance mankind therefore worship god. RRE are heretics and perverts (which might explain why child molesters thrive in a now most conservative Catholic Church).
