"But they can rule by fraud, and by fraud eventually acquire access to the tools they need to finish off the job of killing the constitution."
"What sort of tools?"
"More stringent security measures. Universal electronic surveillance. No-knock laws. Stop and frisk laws. Government inspection of first-class mail. Automatic fingerprinting, photographing, blood tests, an urinalysis of any person arrested before he is charged with a crime. A law making it unlawful to resist even unlawful arrest. Laws establishing detention camps for potential subversives. Gun control laws. Restrictions on travel."

Can you answer the following questions? I'll share my answers later :)

If you suspected you were deluded, how could you find out for sure?

Are humans the product of a skilled or unskilled designer?

Would an omnipotent being need to think in the way that people understand it? Or is thinking unnecessary for a timeless indestructible being whose preferences are the same as reality

Why would God be so unclear about which book or books he authored?

Is consciousness anything more than a continual process of imagining, acting, observing the impact of an action, and imagining again with new information?

The dictionary defines "faith" as belief without evidence. It defines "stupidity" as unreasoned thinking. Is belief without evidence a form of unreasoned thinking?
