This hit me last night, thinking about the Cops vs Collectivism thread on here, and how we are quick to hate on a cop and how the consensus is basically that the police surrender their individual humanity by voluntarily joining a cult of aggressive force. Those are my feelings, but, I wonder who extends this idea to the Priests?
Everything that you say about the cops, regarding their voluntary subordination to the occupying authority, is true of priests. A great many are "good people" in that they use their influence to help where they can, but, I believe this to be as lame a cop out as the "good policeman" masturbation.
A popular argument against the police is when people say something like,
"what kind of person wants to get paid to...(be an $#@!)?"
Well, what kind of person grows up wanting to turn people's surrender and belief into their house and car and retirement and kids' college?
$#@! that guy.
