The sheep needs no freedom, simply trust in his shephard.
Isn't that the creed of government?

It is, particularly those that are paternalistic and tyrannical.
I'd have to ask what would motivate someone to put absolute trust and faith in a body composed of flawed and imperfect human beings.
You can argue about the folly of putting faith in a being who may or may not exist and may or may not be perfect, but I know it would be and is a folly to do what I described above. History has proven it over and over again.

Just watch two beings go at each other... but which beings am I referring to?
Is it the goat and the sheep, or the beast and the spirit?

Why does the sheep has to endure the vicinity of a goat?
The goat is an atheist on a forum called religion, faith, theology. I think the shepard died.
I don't know if the world has decided yet whether or not atheism is a religion. A lot atheists insist that it isn't, and a lot of theists insist that it is! Who knows!?

The goat only does what it is made for: bumping heads. (lol)
