Government that even owns our devotions

There's a post today over at my favorite discussion site about the not-so-creeping take over of major portions of our economy by the government:

Why aren't our conservative "leaders" pointing out that a person can now get up in the morning and go to work for a government owned industry, he may have to buy his car from the government, the car loan, his house loan, all his loans may be from a government owned bank, that means he may have to buy his house from the government. If Obama has his way, when the worker gets sick his doctor will be the government.

In response, one of my online friends posted, "In the Soviet Union, the children were taught to look to Mother Russia - not God - for all they needed, and to thank Mother Russia - not God - for all they had. Nope, no parallels there."

Which got me to thinking: The reason statist regimes tend to be atheistic, and dictatorial in their policies, is that they will not tolerate any competition to the devotion and worship of the people. So, we're on that path, with "The Messiah" now running things from the Oval Office.
