“When the laws are written and administered by the most powerful leaders in a society, it is human nature for them to understand, justify, and protect the interests of themselves and people like them.

“Biblical higher criticism is preserved in the particular enclave of academic Christian scholarship and is thought to be too unfruitful to share with the average pew-sitter, for it raises more questions than the church can adequately answer. So the leaders of the church would protect the simple believers from concepts they were not trained to understand. In this way that ever-widening gap between academic Christians and the average pew-sitter made its first appearance.” WayFirstsMadeChristianReligionChurchSimpleAnswersLeaderShareParticularHigherProtectConceptsCriticismRaisesAverageAppearanceBelieverGapsAcademicBiblicalScholarship Author:John Shelby Spong
“You are talking to a leftist. I believe in the redistribution of wealth and power in the world. I believe in universal hospital care for everyone. I believe that we should not have a single homeless person in the richest country in the world. And I believe that we should not have a C.I.A. that goes around overwhelming governments and assassinating political leaders, working for tight oligarchies around the world to protect the tight oligarchy here at home.” WorldShouldBelievePersonsCountryHomeGovernmentCarePoliticalI BelieveWealthTalkingLeaderPowerPoliticianProtectUniversalI Believe InActivismAround The WorldUsaHospitalsOverwhelmingHomelessDistributionCiaSingleMedicareAssassinationPolitical LeadersLeftistsOligarchyProtectionismRedistribution Of Wealth Author:Abbie Hoffman

That's their job, and it's the people within the organization - their job is to get the work done.” PeopleKnowsDoneJobsAnswersLeaderProtectOrganizationWork Done Author:Simon Sinek
“We are a people with no army, no navy, no air force, no arms.

“The modern State exists not to protect our rights but to do us good or make us good - anyway, to do something to us or to make us something. Hence the new name 'leaders' for those who were once 'rulers'. We are less their subjects than their wards, pupils, or domestic animals. There is nothing left of which we can say to them, 'Mind your own business.' Our whole lives are their business.” MindStatesWholeNamesLeftAnimalLeaderRightsModernSubjectsProtectWhole LifeRulersPupilsOwn BusinessMind Your Own BusinessMind Your Own Author:C. S. Lewis
