Devil Worship

I was discussing the drug war as it relates to the Baptist/Bootlegger coalition and made this point:

It is supremely ironic how “the truly God fearing” are so susceptible to Devils. All the Government has to do is to make a big enough image of a Devil and the Baptists fall right in line. The Government makes a big voodoo doll and the Baptists worship it. The worship is disguised as a fight so the Baptists are blinded by their own worship of the Devil.

The real Devil of course is not the Drugs. It is the Government. Clever Devils doncha think?

    Not just Baptists. What about the national obsession with what people are eating? The fundamental problem for Libertarian dreams is that we humans are owned by stange demons.

    The truly God-fearing think they have the market cornered on morality and therefore what constitutes the moral and immoral use of force (or threat of the use of force). Of course, if they support the use of force it is moral because they themselves are moral. The thought never occurs to them that their use of force could be immoral, they fear God after all. And God would tell them they are wrong if they were wrong, but since he hasn’t told them they are wrong, they aren’t wrong.

    Confused yet? Well, the Baptist isn’t.

    IOW, circular reasoning is circular.
