Mort… ever notice that Government and God both start with the letter “G”? So does Good, and Generous. (also Gimme and Gotcha… but we’ll put those aside for now). Anyway… where was I? Oh, yeah…Coincidence? I think not.
Which “god” is he talking about? Certainly not the one who said “feed the hungry, heal the sick, clothe the naked, etc.,” or advised the rich man to sell all his possessions and give the money to the poor. Maybe the “god” of the Almighty Market? Pretty poor excuse for a deity, that…
Government ’s role in science, investment and technology is to hinder it. Ask anyone who ever tried to get a drug approved by the FDA or applied for a patent.
So the choice offered is between socialism and theocracy. What about those who don’t oppose government but want it restricted to protecting individual rights?
