The Church is the original social media. Except they don't require you to chop off your genitalia, just a portion of it.....
Weather or not you believe in their diatribe, the system they espouse was and has been and is there for those whom question laws and government as well as persons and groups who have nothing else, to believe in something. you can site wars and such by saying that religion is the culprit, but when you look at the over all picture, socialism has never had an amicable ending.
