In All Seriousness, Will Ted Cruz Really Drive People to Atheism?

[nil desperandum]

14. I am reminded of Heinlein

The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.”

Count me among the surly curmudgeons, and substitute politically into religiously and it works equally well. I've no desire to have anyone controlled through religious intent no matter how idealistically good the concept sounds...

Cruz is a tool, one can only hope that such a tool can indeed be repurposed for opening the eyes of those currently on the edge of belief in fairy tales and place them on the true path to righteousness....as it were.
