10 sats \ 14 replies \ @DarthCoin 17 Feb \ on: Do you believe in authority? AskSN
I wonder what a religious person would say about "authority". Do they consider a god as an "authority" to obey?
For this question, I will bring here one of the Lux pills: #637132 that most of the people ignore it.
it's the tool for freedom: God.
Because The Scriptures are the written document, to free the plebeian slaves from debt/sin.
In commerce, the creator is the author and makes the rules.
By declaring yourself a man, God's creature, you have protection in law.
By declaring yourself a person (graven image), creation of someone else, you are at the mercy of the creator of that person.

Religion is a tool used by politicians to legitimate their authority over citizens.
Amazing how well it works.
People want to be sheeple because there is safety in the fenced flock and the forest is dark and dangerous.
God is a lie like the Fiat invented to control and oppress ... invented to find the favor of the plebs, who never had anything and from below always looked suspiciously at those above. The religious leaders who invented the trick of religion, only did so for the purpose of use, but remember that the human being is ignorant of birth, so it is vulnerable to manipulation and brainwashing.

Well said.
We should make another poll asking "do you consider yourself a person" ?

A lowercase "god" (as in some supernatural being among many that may simply be more powerful than humans): no
But if we're talking about God in the sense of a supreme being: unequivocally yes
I'd pose, for those that don't believe such a capital G God exists, if he did, would THAT being be worthy of authority?

If there is a God that created you, then the rules are already intrinsic and you obey them by instinct.

I think there's only one rule that god raise upon people and is very simple:

There is no god you fool.
Just frightened weak and vulnerable people seeking organised power structures to enhance their wealth and safety in competition with other groups of frightened vulnerable people.
Its called government- the state - and without it they are helpless shivering wretches.

The corollary of this: if the gov didn't create me (as living man), then have NO authority over me. The gov have authority only over the CORPORATION they've created (the name in CAPITAL LETTERS - Capitis deminutio and #558541)

The government have the authority people choose surrender to them.
People want government as it can protect and enrich them.
Try living without any government and see how long you last. In the absence of government the first thing humans do is begin to form government...it is fundamental to human survival, security and the wealth of nations.
