That is why so many political leftists and governments today are quite open about hating religion and religious people. They want their idea of morality to be the ONLY allowable version of morality. They want to make all the rules so they can change them when they want to and so play God or be God. Like the liberals of today in the US who are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is moral and demanding everyone agree with them - or else.
I know that highly political liberal leftists will ridicule me because they want government to be God. Political leftists (socialists/communists) don't want people to even consider that mankind is not it's own God. Political leftists want people to declare that there is no God, no spirit, no soul, and nothing and no one is more important and more wise and more all knowing than government and leftist politicians Political leftists demand people look to politicians and government for guidance and to tell them what is right and what is wrong, what is moral and what is immoral.

If liberals are switching parties and adding to the GOP numbers, then how many former GOP are leaving? Enough to create a 20 million person deficit?
