The priesthood is the enemy of freedom, no priest ridden people ever have full freedom.

Gosh, as I recall, the Russians decided to get rid of all that religion crap a while back. Remind me - did they become more free afterward, or less?

‘History provides no example of a preist ridden people maintaining a free civil government’ Jefferson

Nowhere does that quote suggest doing what the soviets did, don’t be trite. The idea is that preists need to stay in their domain. He wants a law telling people out in town to dress according to his code.

You imply that the choice is a priesthood that dominates society, or a priesthood in the gulag. That’s a false choice,,, this guys job is to teach and convince, not to create law enforcing his belief.
