@benny @lovelylovely It's not so great when the people are ignorant or stupid. This discovered during the Athenian democracy. It was obvious to the Founders of the USA. Even Charlemagne knew that his empire would be far better off with an educated populace.
Only despots strive to dumb-down a society. They know that a dumb populace is much easier to manipulate and control.
@shuttersparks @benny @lovelylovely That's why Republicans love Christians.
@originlbookgirl @benny @lovelylovely They love right-wing Christians who aren't Christians at all, who want to wear the label but ignore what's in the Bible.

Agreed.
