Of course it's possible. Look...Is it possible?<br /><br />Of course it's possible. Look to any nation in the Mid-East.

Virtually anything is possible, and I find your post nicely put together to illustrate exactly how such a thing could happen' Moreover, we have multiple historical evidences of just such a scenario. Having said that, what's your point? Are you suggesting that we are already on such a slippery slope? It seems to me that we always are, especially in a republic as large and diverse as ours is, considering how far removed each individual citizen is from either the actual running of our government or (God help us!) from participation and/or interest in decision making.Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797750710657979526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162600987121671677.post-25619612866800037232010-03-21T01:42:22.803-07:002010-03-21T01:42:22.803-07:00Everyone is missing the point, which is, is it pos...Everyone is missing the point, which is, is it possible?<br /><br />Not saying that it is a likely scenario, just that this kind of thing is possible.pboyfloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475980562742243007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162600987121671677.post-84130424869285731862010-03-20T20:40:16.079-07:002010-03-20T20:40:16.079-07:00On the other hand...I like the idea of Sunday bein...On the other hand...I like the idea of Sunday being the day of sleeping in.

We aren't too far removed...The abortion thing?<br /><br />We aren't too far removed from that very scenario.<br /><br />The religiously inclined have inserted their brand of morals into our society. It just doesn't matter what you and I think, they KNOW life begins at conception - God told 'em so.<br /><br />They've been trying for a while now to convince us that our society was founded on christian principles. Therefore we should all follow those principles.<br /><br />Few would have a problem with theocracy IF theirs is the religion that is in power. <br /><br />The only problem is, there are too many sects, with to many varying distinctions to be truly loyal to their theocracy. The Baptists would soon want to have the Catholics arrested. The Catholics would be going after the pentacostals for eating meat on Friday. The pentacostals would be after the methodists for not speaking tongues or worshiping with reptiles....<br /><br />But, such a scenario as you spell out is not really that hard to imagine. We are on that slippery slope now.machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04073782907747032366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162600987121671677.post-7571425159942581552010-03-19T13:31:32.454-07:002010-03-19T13:31:32.454-07:00I always wondered about working on Sunday.

And, why did this all-powerful, living outside of time, entity need a day off ? Couldn't he just as easily have willed himself "not tired"?machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04073782907747032366noreply@blogger.com
