Define omnipotent in a humanist manner because the Biblical version renders discussion to null. Are we capable of extraordinary things, yeah, obviously. But what is the extent of that? Where is the glass ceiling? Do you personally know what it is? What capabilities are you in doubt of?
And evil things are in fact done by the government. You're not suggesting otherwise, are you? Or are you suggesting that I think that they are entirely evil with no good or in-between at all? Either way, you're wrong.
We can discuss all the good things the government has done and does simply by its existence, you know, if I am making you uncomfortable in your red, white and blue underwear because that's what your genuine complaint has been thus far, which is echoed by many: Rah Rah U.S.A. A partisan like mindset influenced by blind patriotism which has been demonstrated time-and-time-again by the government -- It's legal if the President says it is.
And that's just another arena of politics in which you fail. A false idol has been created -- a myth of altruism. 'We don't start wars, we finish wars.' 'We're the good guys.' 'The American Dream.' You've carried those myths from your childhood well into your adult life in the same manner that religion hooks people -- get 'em while they're young. I'm sorry, my friend, but those cherished childhood attained beliefs were debunked long before you ever learned them to begin with. There has been a steady undercurrent of opposition to overreaches by the government long before either of us were born. Why you continue to romanticize these notions in clear opposition to the historical record is interesting, to say the least. Perhaps it is just a coincidence?
Nope, I was just employing sarcasm. Many took the bait just chomping at the bit. Surprise, I can play games too.
