re: #613 Locker

Ok this one is gonna get me in trouble but… the right side folks are aligned with business and have a large religious base. It does not seem like Christianity is a model which encourages one to question or think independently. There is one right answer to everything, you don’t know it and only the “leadership/priesthood” can decide how the “faithful” are suppose to react.

Once the leadership sets the stake in the ground, the faithful follow, tenaciously and without question.

Yeah. A lot of it boils down to saying

If you disagree about the basic tenets of my religion, you are either stupid, ignorant, willfully blind, delusional or some combination of the above

which is a minor modification of #443, which stated

If you disagree about the basic science of AGW, you are either stupid, ignorant, willfully blind, delusional or some combination of the above

Both statements are faith based and unscientific, in that both are unfalsifiable, absolutist, pig-headed nonsense that provide and allow for only one right answer to everything that only the leadership can provide to the faithful, who will also decide how the faithful ought to react.
