THE STATE VS GOD

I’m not really sure how a bureaucracy run by human beings under the auspices of the common good, is any different under the state theocracy or the religious theocracy.

They’re both bureaucratic monopolies, and bureaucratic monopolies are made of human beings with human incentives. The bigger a bureaucracy gets the fewer of its members are elites and the more of them are average people who are insulated from the competition of the market and increasingly act like they are insulated from the competition of the market.

And if history is any measure, a weak federal church is a lot less warlike and oppressive than a strong federal legislature.

I mean, the data is the data.

The state is worse than the church.
