Religiously Voting

Interesting article in USA Today regarding voting patterns of regular church attendees titled “Churchgoing closely tied to voting patterns GOP capitalizes on religion gap; Dems debate what to do."

"Voters who say they go to church every week usually vote for Republicans. Those who go to church less often or not at all tend to vote Democratic."

Sheeple, whether governmental or religious, both want to place individuals under their thumb.

Just another reason, I think, why both government and organized religion need to be marginalized or eliminated.

    Are there any organizations that you do not want to see marginalized or eliminated?

    Organization is “bad” in your mind?

  2. Organization, in and of itself, is a positive.  Organizations, with members, adgendas, and shepherds with sticks, are what I take issue with.

  3. How do you “marginalize or eliminate” a religion, organized or not?

    I am rather surprised at you, John.

    I don’t comprehend your meaning?

    Isn’t the agenda (i.e. common cause) the thing that makes an organization an organization?

    Organized = systematic (a process or algorithm)

    Organization = The act or process of organizing, or the state or manner of being organized = a body of persons (i.e. Individuals) organized for some end (purpose) or work (goal).

    Doesn’t the Boy Scouts also have an “Agenda”, and “Shepherds with Sticks” (i.e. scoutleaders)?

  5. Pardon the surprise, John.  Personal religious beliefs, of whatever nature, will never, in my opinion, be eliminated, and I have no problem with that.  Elimination, or marginalization, of organized religions will occur as individuals realize their own potential, or, possibly, as organized religions become more homogenzied.  Today, there are not many individuals organized around Ra.

  6. John Sabotta: How do you “marginalize or eliminate” a religion, organized or not?

    Are you trying to assert that no “religion” has ever been eliminated or marginalized in the entire history of mankind?

    John Sabotta: I am rather surprised at you, John.

    I’ve all but given up hope that you will surprise me. :(

  7. Today, there are not many individuals organized around Ra.

    You have never - as I have, as a witness - participated in the rites of the O.T.O.

    Do what thou wilt is the hole of the donut.

    Lung is the law, donut for lung!

  8. I am at a loss as to knowledge of O.T.O., as you said, I have never.

  9. Serpent - Organization - 1a: the act or process of organizing or of being organized b: the condition or manner of being organized - I was thinking individually.

  10. John Venlet: [regarding Organization …] I was thinking individually.

    So that gets me back to my original (now refined) question …

    Are there any [group] organizations that you do not want to see marginalized or eliminated?

    [Group] Organization (i.e. a common goal amongst individuals) is always “bad” in your mind?

    ---------------

    BTW - if you are waiting for a coherent reply from Mr. Sabotta, I wouldn’t hold your breath.
