By the way, if I lived in any of the many theocratic states around the world I would by now have met my.....creator.
As an enlightened one,it means you would not support the lifting of the curse upon humanity, so would you prefer it remains cursed ?.
As one of the people, from where do you receive your spiritual guidance since you have seen the light and reject the Almighty ?.
You can ditch Mythology yet can embrace the unknowns of Science, you are realistic enough to determine that people need God.
To round it all off, you suggest that those same people are not free, yet YOU are also one of those people (your own words).
As I have indicated before, I can help you.
You WOULD be tolerated in a Theocratic state and you would soon become one of them, providing they held the upper hand .
