"Most 'Christians' don't worship God or Jesus Christ, His Son. They worship attributes of God. They worship his Power, His Glory, His Mercy. In doing so they are little different from the Greeks or the Romans who chose a god (or gods) to worship because they wished to partake in that attribute that god represented. The main difference is that there is only one name to this god that they worship so it appears to be the same God that Christians belong to" So what is your point? Do you think that worshipping "attributes" is any sicker or dangerous than worshipping somebody's willie-nillie son? The attribute people are on the right track. Although it ought to have nothing to do with sycophantic "worship". Every human by natural right is equal to the universe and everything in it. N0 human needs to "worship" anybody. They all start with worshipping an INVISIBLE man; and they all progress to worshipping men whom are ALL TOO visible. And what these men mainly want is sex/power and lots of it. They will make you a Priestess (or a Priest) if you are truly obedient--and if you are very very good at what you do! So respecting attributes which expand human character is definitely miles ahead of "worshipping"--invisible or not. Our greatest poets, novelists, scientists, and philosophers have made this very clear to us and it explains the joy we find in their writings and in their thoughts. As to your diatribe against the "State". The gross exaggeration and lack of balance is typical of those whom think with their emotions instead of their brain; and it is rather too fanatical to attract thoughtful discourse. It lacks any reference to a fair or considered perspective; I would be surprised if it attracted other than "wow!", "Great!" or "Gee, that resonates with me!".
