“The denial and removal of God from society is a pre-requisite for total statism.”

You conveniently forget all the religious kingdoms of history (which were all totalitarian) as well as the Holy Roman Empire.

Just imagine thos kingdoms and empires, but not armed with knives and horses, but with tanks, machine-guns, missiles, submarines and combat aircraft.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Amazing, isn’t it? Once the bible was published, and widely available in the people’s own language, how quickly the war lords of Europe were tamed.

Imagine that! The people learned that we are equal before God, and demanded that all men ( including their rulers) be equal before just and honest courts of law.

A revolutionary idea, don’t you think? Once free themselves, they freed the slaves worldwide.
