God is a Mass Murderer

That's true. In our age, those two groups exist.

The point I've been making is that lots of other religious groups exist as well.

You are a cafeteria atheist, because you pick out only the two groups you dislike and pretend that's all there is to religion.

I mean it that way too: the state = the government.

And of course in our time we think of the government as being over and above the people, not responsive to our needs. But in socialism the government is the people, working for the people. The people own the electric company, the state is representatives of the people who manage the company. 

Insofar as government manages public institutions NOT for the good of the people (i.e. for the good of someone else), it isn't socialist.

Quote:The term democratic doesn't refer to the economical structure. It's a reference to the system used to elect a leader. Tyranny would be the opposite or dictatorship

That's true. Socialism is about economic issues, and democracy is about decision-making.

But in socialist institutions, decisions are made democratically. 

So for example if the electric company is socialist, our representatives manage it and if we don't like their management we can vote them out. On a more local scale, the public schools are socialist and we elect the people on the school board. 

If the electric company is privatized and operated primarily for the profits of the owners, the people can't vote to change the policies. If the schools are taken over by the Bill Gates Foundation or something, then Bill Gates decides the curriculum and we can't vote him out. 

The ideological movement in the US to privatize everything is a movement toward tyranny. It is creeping fascism, because it puts power into the hands of government/industry alliances, and takes it away from voters.
