Re: We were warned about this

it's not like you're not being controlled by government policy now that's pretty godless

i think the question about what this has to do with the kingdom is a relevant one. You cannot be both an ambassador of an unworldly kingdom and a participating citizen of a country; you will love one and hate the other, no matter what anyone else tells you.

i know this is a hard thing to believe, because you started on the pledge of allegiance in first grade, so it just seems natural. But you live in a fascist empire now, and you're worried about communism? I can't even do a good deed for the retired Pentecostal lady next door without her pulling her wallet out and insisting on some payment now, lol; i seriously doubt communism is a danger for an empire in decline.

i notice also that "communism" is always paired with "godless" before it is served to us, and i'll leave you to draw your own conclusions there, but you might at least suspect anyone married to fascism telling you that communists are godless, that's pretty much a pot/kettle scenario.

Russia has seen a huge resurgence in Christianity, for instance. I don't know if they are still communists, strictly speaking, but we have indications that China has a huge, committed Christian pop, and likely these other commie regimes do as well, even if they are more underground.

So you can gesticulate about what window dressing your country adopts if you like, it would be called something different from what it was anyway. Or by all means voice your concerns, and tell us what you suggest? Civil war? Voting harder?
