"I do not feel obligated to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forego their use." ~~ Galileo The fact that there those who actually believe that the rajas and governors actually carry any significance in the real external objective world at all and that their imaginary world view of a global government is so far-fetched and out of the realm of practical, objective reality, speaks for itself. It's simply another illustration of the pathetic [and dangerous] gullibility of certain human beings. What's frightening about it is what it could lead to. Some TBs have indicated support for some of the gross authoritarian fundamentalist ideologies of the ancient past, like some of the Laws of Manu, traditionally accepted as an arm of the Vedas. "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." ~~ Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) "We should always be disposed to believe that which appears to us to be white is really black, if the hierarchy of the church so decides." ~~ Saint Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556) Founder of the Jesuit Order. "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." ~~Voltaire "It has always seemed absurd to suppose that a god would choose for his companions, during all eternity, the dear souls whose highest and only ambition is to obey." ~~ Robert Green Ingersoll (1833 - 1899), lawyer and orator
