God does not love democracy.
While on the coast yesterday I saw a bumper sticker that sent shivers down my back. The car of course, had all of the usual Pro-Bush stickers, but one more too shocking to contemplate. (At least until the shock passed that is)
GOP: God's Official Party
That's amazingly silly. That's probably also a fire and brimstone offence. See ya in hell buddy, keep the fire hot for me. God is a Dictator, and would have no part of a representative democracy. So God isn't like George W. Bush, God is more like Fidel Castro or even Sadam Hussian.
Nowhere in the bible does it say "Thou shall cast thy lot for one of a group of worthy gods. Upon the reading of the vote of all of man a representative vote shall be cast by an electoral college of kings, the winning god thus take all for the sum of four millennia whereby man shall once again cast their lot."
The bible does say in the Ten Commandments that it is a fire and brimstone offence to have any other god before him. It was important enough that it is the FIRST commandment.
The bible is full of examples of God being a totalitarian dictator. Early on he tried to be merciful, rather than destroy some angels who dared question him, he banished them from heaven. If I were him I would regret that decision today. It seemed like a good idea at the time but now we are dealing with a forever of trying to run an organized creation all the while dealing with a militant faction bent on bloody revolution. He's a better creator than I could ever be, that's for sure.
There are plenty of examples of him being a holy dictator. He appeared before the Jews and said, "you are now my subjects, obey me or else". Once he sent an angel to one of his mortal agents in a largish city state and told him to evacuate and don't look back. His agent fled the city and he didn't look back. His wife did though, and was turned into a pillar of salt. I don't care if you are a good agent, no one is above the law.
Slovadan Milosavich got into a great deal of trouble recently for partaking in "Ethnic Cleansing". The bible tells the story of some VERY effective ethnic cleansing. Forget a bullet in the back of the head and being thrown in a mass grave. Try a massive flood and only telling one guy how to save himself, his family and a zoo. Hitler couldn?t come close to that.
The big man upstairs knows how to rule with an iron fist. I'd be surprised if he didn't smite the Republican Party for just inferring that he supports them. Besides, if God's son isn't a member of the Green party, I don't know who is. Jesus wouldn?t be exporting jobs to countries with a lower standard of living. Jesus would have been standing outside of the pentagon in the 1960's sticking daisies in gun barrels. Jesus certainly turned out better that a certain other dictator's offspring.
And that's the real lesson here. ?Silly Sadam, dictatorships aren't for mortals.?
