Science! Blessed be Thy Name — The Vanishing Value of Religious Freedom

    Freedom of Religion can no longer bring about the freedom that it could have in past ages had it actually been implemented; only a Freedom of Belief System could do that today. The reason for this is straightforward; Freedom of Religion would have been a big deal back when the dominant belief system was a religion; Freedom of Religion would have meant the freedom not to have the dominant belief system imposed upon you.

    TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/

    But Freedom of Religion can no longer shield you from having the dominant belief system imposed upon you because today the dominant belief system is The Science as dictated by the state. The Science now serves the same role for rationalizing political power that the church used to do.

    I want to first illustrate our new reality, through two written examples. The first example under the subheading “A Little Chat About the Good News,” presents the dogmas of The Science in satire through religious terminology.

    The second example under the subheading “Proof of Baptism Required,” is the reverse and asks us to imagine what it would look like if governments were forcing religious dogmas and rituals upon the population in place of scientific dogmas and rituals.

    In other words the first example asks us to imagine religious dogma swapped with science dogma. The second example asks us to imagine the opposite scenario: science rituals and dogma swapped with religious rituals and dogma.

    1st Example: A Little Chat About the Good News

    Do you have a moment? Can I tell you a little about our Savior Science?

    Have you heard the good news about vaccines? Here let me share with you. I’ll just open up The Holy Scriptures of the Peer Reviewed Journals, turn to the Book of Pharma, and there we go! Chapter 20, verse 19, The Doctrine of Salvation Through Vaccination: (clears throat)

    “For Science so loved the world that it gave its many begotten vaccines so that none might perish but that all who get their vaccines might live till their next booster shot”

    Now, have you accepted vaccinations into your body as your savior and protector? No?! Then repent and get vaccinated! For as we know from the Doctrine of Original Infection:

    For all could be infected and fall short of the glorious sterility of industrialized medicine”

    Look, I know that you have fallen prey to conspiracy theories, but you have to understand that The Science is beyond your capability to evaluate or critique. Discerning the truth is the job of the Scientist, your job is to trust and believe what the Approved Scientists tell you. Have faith in The Science, for as it is written:

    Science is the way, the truth, and the light, none come to the truth save through Science”

    2nd Example: Proof of Baptism Required

    What if the government of the USA decreed that no foreigners would be allowed in unless they showed proof of having been baptized?

    What if State and local governments ordered lockdowns of all non-religious activity on Sundays?

    What if governments at all levels mandated the wearing of an outward statement of faith such as a cross necklace in certain places, and for travel?

    What if proof of baptism and the wearing of cross necklaces was a requirement in order to work for the government?

    What if the government mandated that even private businesses would have to demand of their customers the wearing of cross necklaces, and that even private schools could only employ people who had proof of baptism?

    Freedom of Religion is an Inadequate Relic

    Religious Freedom entails both the freedom to practice a religion of your choice if you so choose, and it also crucially involves freedom from other people’s religions. That is to say a society that could be regarded as having Religious Freedom would be one in which no one would be mandated to take part in the rites and rituals of any given religion.

    Freedom from the obligation to take part in the rituals of other people’s religion is not a new concept or desire that has only risen with the rise of atheism; freedom from religion, specifically freedom from taking part in the rites and rituals of the state’s chosen religion was something that Christians themselves insisted upon and were punished for in ancient Rome.

    Religious Freedom didn’t need to be called Freedom of Belief System because it is a concept from times and places in which the dominant belief systems were religions; it would have been sufficient for those times, it is nowhere near sufficient for these times. We are proud of having Religious Freedom and take comfort in having this freedom at a time in which Religious Freedom counts for less than it ever has before. The belief systems of The Science and also Statism (disguised as “Patriotism” for the Right, and “Democracy” for the Left) have superseded in prestige and prevalence the religious belief systems.

    Western governments and ruling classes can easily afford Religious Freedom for the commoners because they no longer use religion as the primary means of justifying their power. Temporal authorities force upon the populace the belief systems that they control and that they use to justify their power, which are now science and democracy as defined by the state.

    Bragging about Religious Freedom in the USA , as the Patriotic Right here is prone to do, is akin to bragging about how we don’t burn witches at the stake anymore. You have the freedom to be a witch or sorcerer and we won’t burn you – wow what a freedom! Considering that as a society we almost all condemn the burning of witches, and have condemned this for some time, it is absolutely unimpressive and nothing to brag about that we don’t burn witches anymore.

    Likewise, Western culture by and large has long since moved past the imposition of a state chosen religion and more or less allowed everyone to practice their own choice of religion. Consequently, the freedom to go to church on Sunday, or Saturday, or frequent a synagogue, or attend no religious services at all, is nothing to brag about. No one in the West would have any excuse to do otherwise than allow this basic Religious Freedom – it’s not even an expectation, it’s a given.

    But this progress is actually an illusion, we need only move beyond the inadequate term Religious Freedom, and think in the just slightly broader term Freedom of Belief System and we can immediately see that we do not have a Freedom of Belief System, and the state is still imposing a state chosen, official belief system upon us – The Science.

    Even your basic right to attend a church/synagogue/mosque is only permitted to you until the dominant belief system, The Science, says otherwise. When The Science says no church (as was the case in the lockdowns) there is no church. Who needs to tell businesses when they can be open or closed based on old fashioned Sunday Laws? No one, because now authorities can close businesses and events at will, based on Science Laws.
