3. America's institution of separation of church & state is historically rare

When the Normans invaded England in 1066, they divided the land and gave it to French barons and the Church. Feudalism began in England and church officials took the side of tyranny.

The Bible describes governments as a "beast" and the Church as a harlot that rides on the back of the beast. Until 1980, America was different, the harlot had to screw the people on their own. Now the unification of Church and state is about complete. The pre-1980 American government that cared for its citizens is long gone.

Today, the Church isn't criticizing the war. Instead, the Church is in a massive building mode either expanding existing buildings or building new ones. The Church accepts money from the government, the ayatollahs dictate who should be anointed to the supreme court and they interfere with elections that are no longer free.
