[Rant] Are Conservatives Demons?

Are Conservatives Demons?

The question seems both insulting and pointless, but it is merited of consideration for two points:

a) A counter argument against the ludicrous conservative idea that separation of church and state is not in the constitution.

b) A highlight about the absolute pointless of inserting religious arguments into policies of secular conservations.

Point a is merited because the arguments for separation are sound. First, the word, 'God' or 'Divine' appear in no way in the constitution, but 'congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion' is inherently plain. How could you fail to understand 'if it has to do wish establishing religion, congress shall not do it?' It is a hell of a lot clearer than 'a well-regulated militia.' Thus, congress shall take no action by law that promotes one religion over another. Therefore all actions MUST have a secular basis in argument else they are unconstitutional. To argue anything else requires convoluted logic in the extreme. To show an example of this convoluted logic, I am thus positing that all conservatives are demons.

Point b is served by my argument below.

Now, first, let us establish some definitions, shall we?

By conservative I mean American conservatives who self-identify themselves as such, but more specifically the socially and fiscally conservative who are also religious of the monotheistic variety. If you are merely socially conservative or fiscally conservative or religious but not of a monotheistic religion, this need not apply to you.

Now let us establish the word, "demon."

Dictionary.com establishes demons as:

1. an evil spirit; devil or fiend.

**In monotheistic religions, humans have spirit. Therefore if that spirit is evil, the body is inhabited by a demon.

2. an evil passion or influence.

**Conservatives are very passionate. Their passions tend toward evil. That makes them demons.

3. a person considered extremely wicked, evil, or cruel.

**It is rational to consider conservatives extremely wicked, evil or cruel people, and therefore demons.

4. a person with great energy, drive, etc.: He's a demon for work.

**Relevant in theory but I shall not persue this definition.

5. a person, especially a child, who is very mischievous: His younger son is a real little demon.

**See comment on #4.

Now, are not demons the servants of Satan? Especially if we follow the modern post christianist interpretation of the afterlife in which those who are righteous who go to heaven become angels in the servants of God. If angels are servants of God, and demons are the servants of the devil, or fallen angels, it stands therefore that those who are bound to hell are demons and thus servants of the devil.

Following this logic, it only needs serve that we define conservatives (as defined above) as evil.

Evil has many definitions, but theologically, the most relevant definition is 'failure to obey the word of God.'

Now, man is imperfect, and theologically speaking it is not our place to judge, but from a philosophical perspective and also for reasons of this exercise in thought, we must consider the broad parameters of what makes a person evil, even if it is not (theologically) our place to say any specific person is evil. It is still reasonable to call a particular belief or set of beliefs evil, else, how are we to have discernment from right or wrong? We must be able to judge evil actions from good, because we are, theologically, judged based on our sin, and how unjust would it be to condemn us for sin without the capacity to discern right from wrong? Is this not the basis of most mainstream monotheist thought?

Let us then consider, it is logical to understand that there are sins of a hierarchical nature, that is, some sins are greater than others. Therefore sin should be judged according to the severity of the law transgressed.

What are then the commandments?

Well, they vary by religion, but let us examine them from a Christian filter.

1) Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, might mind and strength.

2) Love thy neighboor.

So, shall we then determine whether conservatives love God and their neighbor?

I propose that a word for word comparison with conservative politicians will indicate that they talk more on the house floor about fiscal matters than matters of the heart.

Who is mammon? Why the devil.

Who advocates that money is speech? Conservatives.

Who therefore says that human lives are commodities to be bartered back and forth? Conservatives. Servants of the devil.

Who values the sacred market, the sacred property rights and the sacred contract more than compassion for the weak? Conservatives. Servants of the devil.

Who mocks empathy (love) in judicial appointments? Conservatives. Servants of the devil.

Who fails even the most basic test of government much less basic humanity in the form of disaster relief? Conservatives. Servants of the devil.

Who urges torture of their enemies? Conservatives. Servants of the devil.

Who wants to condemn women to virtual slavery in their own bodies despite cures given by God Given Truth and Science that will prevent them from needing to have abortions? Conservatives. Servants of the Devil.

Who argues against Science, the discovery of truth and God's creation? Conservatives. Servants of the Devil.

Who lies with impunity and condemns not falsehood? Conservatives. Servants of the devil.

Who believes that one man is above another and seeks not to emulate God, who is not a respecter of persons but view all men with equal love? Conservatives. Servants of the Devil. [Conservatives favor the electoral college which gives people in red states more votes than people in blue states.]

Who places more value in soulless, devil [mammon] created automatons (Corporations) than they do in actual people? Conservatives. Servants of the devil.

I could go on like this all day. Some of the arguments here are convoluted at best, but that was the point of this exercise, to show how Conservatives take even the most basic test of religion; compassion for the weak, and twist their own religions in knots trying to justify their behavior. They accept their own interpretations of the constitution that bend over backwards to make them work but ignore plain readings that clearly favor liberal causes and ideas. Their faith in their God and therefore their religion is so weak, that they feel the need for the validation of the State, despite repeated advocation to avoid mixing the two in the old testament, with the prohibitions against Kings and in the new testament where what is Caesar’s is to be Rendered unto Caesar.

Conservatism, especially American Conservatism is a lie and a hypocritical farce at best.
