One of the primary questions in a state-church arrangement is, 'which controls which?' . . .

Dan BarkerAsking, โIf there is no God, what is the purpose of life?โ is like asking, โIf there is no master, whose slave will I be?โ If your purpose of life is to submit as a slave, then your meaning comes from flattering the ego of a person whom you should detest.
