Everyone believes the supreme authority in the universe
has the right to tell them what to do with their property, what job to work at,
take their property and even who lives and dies.
The difference between different philosophies lies
entirely in the difference of opinion of who the Supreme Being of the universe
is.
If you believe the Supreme Being is the Judeo-Christian
God, than you believe you should tithe, care for the poor out of your own
pocket, and protect all human life because that is what your Supreme Being teaches.
Another human forcing you to give them money to do these things is stealing.
If you believe there is no God, than you naturally
believe humans are the most powerful beings in the universe, with the most
powerful government (the United States) being the supreme authority. This means
you believe they have the right to take your money, against your will, to give
to someone who didn’t earn it, tell one business to succeed and another to
fail, and even to tell you whether you are allowed to have children and how
many (its coming, folks).
In other words, everyone believes in God. Some just
believe god looks like this:

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.
I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)
Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
