Religion Of The State (ROTS)

Christianity held a tight grip over our AmeriKKKan society for hundreds of years, but its grip has been significantly loosened. Slowly more and more people began to question tenets of Christianity and many rejected the idea of God altogether. This left a spiritual void within society that needed to be filled. Enter the state.

Politicians are regarded as gods and are portrayed as such in the media. Even their buildings have an air of reverence and political ideologies have almost fully overtaken religious ones. They claim to have all the answers for you and that you don’t need to think for yourself, just like religions do. Jail is hell and what we are told is freedom is comparable to heaven. The most egregious similarity between the two is that we see these politicians on TV as saviors, calling on them to fix our society’s problems.

Politicians are worshipped for their words although all of their speeches are prepared for them by someone else. They rile up the people’s emotions, hamstringing their logical faculties and they rarely ever deliver on their promises. Though this is true, we either conveniently forget about the empty campaign promises or we make excuses for them, just as people tend to do with gods. The State is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent due to increasing surveillance, military power and legal extortion (taxation). At this rate, Stateism will become an official religion and eventually it will be the only one.

Spirituality is an undeniable aspect of the human experience, religion is SUPPOSED to be used to cultivate spirituality. However, when we try to replace god with man, we slowly ignore the spirit in favor of the material. The material makes up a relatively insignificant portion of the human experience, but we value the tangible too highly. That which we cannot see or touch we have been conditioned to place less value in. We are a spiritually dead society and our reliance on Man as God is one of the main reasons.

“Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.”

Seneca

”When Man plays God, the world suffers as a result.”
