It is too easy to just become apathetic and simultaneously expect benefit just for existing. True faith is not quietistic and neither is good citizenship. Both are active and both require exercise in inquiry and practice. The idea of a substitute god is right on the mark in my view.

Too many times the masses think the government will provide them with everything they need. They have gone so far as to think "it" as a right; whatever "it" is. We are rapidly becoming a "nanny state." I have watched "on the street" type news interviews of the general public and many times I am amazed that people have no clue as to where the governemnt gets its money. They must think it grows on trees or falls from the sky. Once the people receiving "goodies" from the government outnumber the people that pay for all those "goodies" there will no longer be a way to vote out the enabling politicians. Ignorance can be cured with knowledge, stupidity is a terminal disease. Agreed, great blog posting. Too many times the masses think the government will provide them with everything they need.
