30. Real Translation: We're Belezabub
For every good religion, there's a bad one. There's a satan, an evil, an all tempting force that's ready to devour those that stray from the flock.

The powerful organized religions made their name on playing on that second religion and using it to fear their hordes into servitude and as a cause to kill and destroy those who don't walk the same walk and talk the same talk.

Coultergeist calling "liberalism" (WTF that is) as a religion is to put it up to her wingnut asshats as being the embodiment of satan on earth. She's just playing the same meme that has turned many churches into power center and money pits...preying on those who only see or want to see the world in black and white.

Religion works best where education is the least available...thus their power in the South and their disdain for the intelligencia. You can't manipulate a mind that thinks for itself.

There are some on this side who play right into that cartoon she's created...and their reaction is what she uses as "testimony" to the other side as to how evil thing are. This is the original strawman game. Be alert to it or be suckered by it.
