But when the Church is important to so many people and their lives the destruction of it can tear them a part.
In the past religion has been the sanctuary people sought out in hard economic times in this country. Not just the Catholic Church but religion itself.
If you destroy that bastion and the leaders methodically, starting with the biggest of the big boys the rest will implode on their own. How many televangelists have had sex, drugs, iffy financial dealings, been more political and discriminatory saying things like "new Orleans deserved Katrina".... It destroys faith in that bastion. It's not to say the priests and religious leaders aren't self destructing themselves... but where do people turn when they can't turn there?
To me, what I see is the progressive destruction of all that man has created and cherished for centuries. The question isn't whether these entities and people doing it to themselves, it's why is this destruction happening so methodically. Especially, when history would show that people need turn to and believe they need these entities more now than ever before in their lives.
We have allowed a very vocal minority through legislation and press to almost take God totally out of government and public places. Again why, when history shows times like these people flock seeking solace from their religion?
The answer to me is, get the people to depend on government and have government care for them the way their religion did and thus you can control them easier.
The reality could just be all this warfare and destruction of religion (particularly Judeo-Christian) is simply coincidental and a symptom of the greed and desire to live in the present that prevails in our society. But I don't believe in coincidences, I believe this is done for a reason.
By the way Art good to see you are back, you are well I hope.
