How many religious nut cases have you met who gave a rat's derriere about democracy? No, they've all got 70 IQ cassettes jammed into the back of their heads telling them when to urinate and how to vote.
However, the pitiful lunacies of contemporary religioso types (as in expecting the world to go “boom” in the next week or two), are defining them out of the evolutionary dynamic of our species.
But SOMETHING has to keep the have and have not game going and if religion can no longer keep force fields around multi millionaires and billionaires, the Judas Joe Lieberman types will serve very well.
