Prager misses his own point


Another reason why I don't trust conservatives with the reins of government.

Honestly, I don't trust ANYONE with the reins of government. Or reigns either.

But some things I trust a good deal less.
Okay, so it's not as early morning as I planned. I was deliciously distracted.

Getting back on track, I want to briefly mention this Dennis Prager article over at FrontPageMag.

It's conservative articles like this that annoy me. I absolutely oppose socialism, but he spends most of the article attacking secularism and blaming it for the onslaught of socialism.

The two are not related.

Prager wants to make the world safe for his particular sanitized version of the Judeo-Christian ethic, but absolutely fails to see that a state-protected faith is every bit a slave-chain as socialism. It may be prettied-up a bit, but it is still a chain.

Faith is personal. Faith is a individual choice, an individual responsibility, and an individual commitment.

Faith should NEVER be imposed by other adult humans.

This one fails the parity test big time. If Dennis Prager is not willing to live under a religion that I choose, then he has no business choosing a religion for anyone else.

And before the progressive and modern liberals think you got off lightly on this one, why do you think I draw the line on so many of your pet causes?

Bottom line, if you can't trust your worst enemy with government backed control over your life, you can't trust your best friend. You know what's paved with good intentions.
