Indians need to get away from respect for Ghandi, ahimsa, and start thinking like Chandra Bose. Yes! separate church from State.

And of course we all see how well it worked in New Orleans. There wasn't any looting or rioting at all. In fact, everyone was so busy getting along and singing Kumbiya in the AstroDome (in which there were no rapes at all) to notice the "heckuva job" that Brownie was doing. Brilliant! Onward ho with this Iraq calliber of genius strategy.

On a different note, I wonder what the religious leaders see as their incentive for participating? If it's purely optional then it seems that the ones who were probably already preaching about the Lord creating the US government or whatever, will be the ones opting in.

Lemurians: In case of marauding padres/parsons/imams/pandits/bhikkus/witches, find shelter at the base of Mount Shasta. I'll be waiting there with 50 gallon drums of Costco peanut butter & jelly and truckload of Fig Newtons. I'll help sire the Kingdom of New Lemuria if required

Sounds like a scene from V for Vendetta or The Handmaid's Tale.

Right on. Or Parable of the Sower...

Sounds like a scene from V for Vendetta or The Handmaid's Tale. I know people think I'm crazy, but it's moments like this when I feel woeful that we're slipping towards a dictator-esque state.

put the word faith in something, and people are willing to give up their liberties, accept murder and basically let you do anything possible. The clergy can pretty much convince the gullible masses to do anything

I personally believe that this is more of an elaborate prank article. But if the Feds want anyone to preach obedience, they seem to have chosen well. Who better to drive the sheep than the guys who talk about shepherds all day long?
