Reply #30: "Trust and OBEY." Authoritarianism begins at home. And for some, in church.

Hard not to see American Christian Fundamentalism's focus on prostrating oneself before the "throne" of the "lord" as providing the underpinings for a master / slave view of the world. And from that, the belief that a political leader is imbued with the authority to impose his or her ("divinely inspired") will upon the populace, with no regard to reason or justice.

I support freedom of religion, but it is time to start calling out this philosphical rationalization for oppression of others for what it is. Free-thinking people bend their knee for, prostrate themselves before, and "give over their life" to NO ONE.
