lol Everyone knows that the clerical class is little more than a misgynist old boys club who do little more than sproat crap about up the duff virgins and chatty angelic thingos.

But the really sad thing is that billions of people hang off their every proclamation - "don't wear a condom", "stem cell research is evil", "we have a God given right to the Temple Mount", "women are wicked sex fiends for showing their hairy heads", "kill the apostate", "incarcerate the homosexual", "nick the clitoris and cut off the foreskin", "lets ruin kids science classes because evolutionary biology is wrong and Adam was a real person", "eat a pig and you go to hell for a billion or so years" blah blah blah blah. What a load of complete and utter nonsense.

Now, when was the last time that QEII or some other Western monarch impacted the lives of numerous millions of people on a moment by moment daily basis? In reality, modern monarchies are little more than quaint oil paintings. Decorative but not very useful.

Pathological when anti-religious obsession (and stereotyping, sensational misrepresentation, ridicule, etc.) has to keep trying to distract readers from the original topic. Most of humanity still heeds the importance of the vast and pressing moral concerns of the genuinely religious; most people in our world know that sincere, intelligent and brave religionists still speak against and beyond cults of individual greed, arrogance and narcissism, and instead for the collective, universal needs of humanity.

Let's examine it a bit more closely then...

For a start, QE2 is head of the Anglican church anyway! But the institution of monarchy is much larger too than the people born as its directly inheriting feudalists. Nonetheless, QE2 herself is the largest non-institutional investor in Rio Tinto, for example. In such institutional arrangements and its control of resources, Australians still pay much more than the official tithes to support the Anglican bureaucracy by default of their abject status as "subjects" in a constitutional monarchy. Besides, and perhaps even more absurd, QE2 and the minions still head Australia's military and police, by default.

In such blatant and subtle ways as their influence in finance, statehood, and in culture via non-stop publicity, the parasitic, primitive and snobbish qualities of feudalism affect billions of people eventually. Despite whatever good has come from some of its religious followers and office-holders, the Anglican system's inherited prejudices of feudal bloodline/"race" and religious authority all perpetuate toxic, deluded notions of birthright and esteem.

Such inherited notions of birthright and esteem appear to inform the cultish devotion of OLOers like TR. Or would TR prefer the archaic and theocratic feudal system of Lamaism - itself often uncritically celebrated as a fashion statement among western narcissists keen to claim "spiritual" credibility, but also while presuming that their imported artefact is "a religion with no God"?
