There are PACs on both the liberal and the conservative sides of the aisle. And the largest tax-exempt organization — at least in the United States — is the Church. Not exactly a hotbed of socialist change.

Oh yes it is. Tell me one organized religion that is not socialist in nature. Everyone of them tells you their religion is the only true religion and without them you will not be saved. Exactly the same spiel that a socialist government spouts out. They demand that you support them financially so they can grow and earn more money.

I know, I know. That is a cold hard look at the organized religions of the world and it certainly will offend some but that’s how I tend to look at things. I strip away all the pretty fluff and examine the bare bones. Organized religions are continually making an effort to control their believers into behaving the way they see fit.

Some say Saturday is a Holy Day and the others say No, you are wrong! Sunday is the day when we must worship. But you have to admit the ones who have got it down pat sure have built up vast fortunes and strong power holds.

Me, I’m free to worship Jesus everyday and in any way that I believe is proper because I don’t have to answer to a priest or rabbi about my sins or regressions. I have had people tell me that I must join their way of worshiping or else. I just laugh at them.
