yes, leftism is a religion to the Omaba types. It is the way they feel good andjustified in their hatred for bright and successful people. The devil works his deception and failed promises through socialism. He is actually trying to be better than God. Too bad he has lost his most bright nature.Of course his darkness met with love and strength which grows our brighness. Oops, did not know that would happen, eh satan....
Yes - they are self-righteous. And yes - they are playing God.
They want us to turn to them, not to God, when we have a need.
