Ah the hard core collectivist speaks. The fact is-one of the reasons why the hard core left hates religion, is that religion competes with their beloved big brother for the attention of the masses. When people see a diety as superior to government, that threatens the hold the left has on the simple minded: and with it, the power of those who seek to use government to control others.

I despise religion because it shackles the mind. It encourages and engenders violence.

Looks to me like you do, and as confirmed by your post topics, it appears that you doth protest too much.

Libertarianism would require statist violence and extreme statist authoritarian control to implement, which is why its a dream and not a reality.

Not my job. It's your claim. You haven't provided a lick of anything to support it.

Sure I have. you just don't like it. Pence is a theocrat, a disgusting one to boot.

Pence wants conversion therapy to be paid for with public funds. This is strictly based in Christian theology.

That one in specific is quite hilarious given he doesn't want abortion paid for with public funds - it isn't.

Voted against stem cell research, an absurdly ridiculous Christian stance.

Yes on permanence of the patriot act, which isn't strictly dominionist, but is absolutely authoritarian.

Voted no on courts ruling "God" be removed from the pledge.

Voted yes on allowing school prayer.

Rated 0% by AU, meaning he is opposed to church/state separation.

Wants to designate first weekend in May as Ten commandments weekend.

Pence is a goddamned theocrat. End of story. Look at his voting record.

General elections are. Not primaries. The furthest left and right usually vote in the primaries. Most indies cant. So that leaves the solid base on both sides.

I'm sorry; where does he want a government run by priests in the name of God?

I think you may not know what a theocracy is, even though I provided the definition for you.

If you want an actual theocracy, look at Iran or Saudi Arabia.

That may be the stupidest thing posted this week, and you're on DP, so that's saying something extraordinary.

Apparently you not only don't know what theocracy is, you have no idea what libertarianism is, either.

If that's how you want to characterize and demonize your fellow citizens, then have at it.
