I don’t think I have to say anything knowing my reply history lmao
Fair, I hope my presence doesn’t anger you or anything like that. Have a nice day :)
I don’t care about people believing something, it’s the belief itself I may have or not a problem, specially if I’m de facto condemned to eternal torture just for not believing, but individuals are individuals, they are people, they have needs, they have feelings, life, aspirations, fears, pain, joy, can’t hate people nor anybody unless it actively attacks me, specially just because being born in the wrong family.
Sorry for the wall text, just wanted to share personal context, bro.
If this quote is real, I feel like Gaddafi is trying to say that “Ruling in the name of religion” i.e. a theocracy will never work and will only lead to discontent, contradictions, and problems.
So basically, “Keep the state absolutely secular”, there is no place for religion in policy making, moral argument, or dictating the lives of others. That’s why socialist states can only be secular. Not anti-religious as that will lead to the same problem as a theocracy but inverse, but instead secular in approach to the proletarian.
this is exactly how I interpreted this quote
