Here's the logic: God gave the US the Bomb - but the spies of Satan then stole it! Marx is the prophet of Godless communist! So to read him is to risk Hell - therefore the Inquisitive prevents this. Though this "ecumenical" the Prods. & Jews are pulled back to the "One True Religion", Jesus back to Earth. Now Marx taught "Scientific Materialism" - therefore Scientists (& Materialists) are servants of Satan. But wait: Einstein is scientist who says matter is really bound energy - hence the Bomb!

More: If the communists have free health care, it must be from Satan: anti-American (and anti-God). But with this defining "American way", then Motor Cars must be from God too - and banks with interest - jump into line! But wait: since workers cannot themselves make any item aboard Motor car, they can hardly expect to OWN it outright. They must borrow the funds & work it off (to freedom) gradually (indentured serve-atude). NOW they find out the debt can NEVER be worked off. What happens next?
