Post by His Highness the TibetanMonkey, the Beach Cruiser PhilosopherOne party system, immortal leader, loyalty to the party, "permanent
justice," "praise the Lord," "Satan is the enemy" and other slogans
all sound socialist.
Not socialist, dictatorial. The leader sets ALL the rules and does
whatever he wants with no oversight. Even Idi Amin didn't have that
much power.
Yes, yes, but Heaven sounds too Maoist as well. They sure will throw
POPULATION CONTROL in there. Though having the whole Universe to
expand maybe it won't be that much of a problem.
What a boring place this "heaven" will/would/could/might be. Full of those
"morons" - YUK!
I know, I know. That's why I don't care to go there even if it was
true. Heaven --I assume-- is full of FAMILY VALUES as well...
(some highlights of it... notes of mine in [...])
While family values remains a rather vague concept, social
conservatives usually understand the term to include some combination
of the following principles (also referenced in the 2004 Republican
Party platform):
[they carry elections with this "vague concept," winning over
practical issues such as transportation]
1- Promotion of "traditional marriage" and opposition to sex outside
of conventional marriage, including pre-marital sex, adultery,
polygamy, bestiality, and incest. [the last one very common in the
Bible]
2- Support for a roll back of aspects of feminism and support for a
traditional role for women in the family. [Taliban style, huh?]
3- Opposition to same-sex marriage. [no comment... I'm opposed to the
institution of marriage]
4- Support for traditional education and parental involvement in that
education, including such things as vouchers for private, non-secular
education. [teaching "intelligent design," right?]
5- Opposition to legalization of abortion and support for policies
that instead encourage abstinence and adoption. [they haven't heard of
overpopulation, right?]

So it's this kind of bullshit that dominates the political discourse
in this world, and we can expect to go on in the heavens. This
ignorance of the physical world as well as the biological aspect of
the human being, proposing impractical solutions such as abstinence
makes them dumb. Proving that they are evil takes another example:
When Bush denied UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE TO CHILDREN, they stood back and
did nothing.
"The bipartisan children's health insurance bill that passed the House
and Senate by strong majorities provides health insurance for 10
million children. The House will vote tomorrow to try to override
President Bush's veto, which denies critical health care coverage to
children of hard-working families struggling with the high cost of
insurance."
