God is dead. Religion is a spent force going through the motions, Islam is self imploding and can only be enforced by bullet and intimidation. Most people have turned away from religion's tired dictums and dictats long ago and maybe just admire the shells and carapaces of faith, the cathedrals and churches - more like musuems than living places of worship, houses of long departed symbols of antiquity, tombs and mauseleums of dead cultures and moribund scriptures, phantoms of past epochs of reverberating hollowness and empty echoes, tired rituals and a blood soaked history of tyranny and death.
What shall we replace religion with? We still need myths ,illusions, delusions, lies,conceits fables, subterfuge, mystery, incantations, stories, empty promises, salvation from our existence - who can perform such service for us -who can we trust to take on this sacred role? Government! The State! Politicians! Let us elect them to serve us. High priests of the State. They will tell us what to do, they will have the answers.
Welfare -The New Jurusalem. They said so! They wouldn't lie would they? Tell us what to eat and drink, what to think, guide and regulate our every step o high priests of the State! We shall elect you to rule us. You know best. License, tax us please -what do we know? You are the initiated, our men and women of State. Statesmen.Save us!
