Losing Their Religion
Tyrants always believe they are greater than God.
I have no other way to explain how Democrats assume they are “democracy” personified and that whatever they determine is right is unassailable – well, no other way than that Democrats believe they have a divine right to rule.
Maybe that’s why they hate Israel and Jews – they believe they are the chosen ones, and they don’t like the competition.
How a party with members and leadership that can be generally described as not believing in God does the “divine right” thing, is an open question – and my assertion that they do not believe in God is not mine alone, it is displayed in their statements and actions. Christmas tends to bring out the ungodly in them and since they are not shy about believing in unbiblical “truths” (or any truth in general), and that our rights come from government, not God, it is not a bad deduction to say that they believe themselves greater than God – or at least equal to Him.
Nothing new, since the beginning of time, mankind has sought to make itself equal to God.
We have done it by ignoring Natural Law, inventing postmodernism and by claiming God never existed and if He did, he died somewhere along the way.
Since God – or the idea of Him – presupposes that there is a power that exceeds that of man, there are men who have reasoned that if there is a higher power, it then follows that power can be used to control other men.
That explains the creation of governments of all shapes and forms to exercise control over people.
It also explains the creation of tyrants – for if government is a power equal to God, then the leader of that government must also be equal to God (or perhaps even greater). It is no mere coincidence that from ancient times, kings have claimed a direct connection with their chosen deity gave them the divine right to rule. By claiming that God was placing his proxy in the hands of an individual, that individual shared and was trusted to exercise His power.
Communism was supposedly invented to stop this practice – Marx reasoned that if the desire to be as powerful as God could be eliminated – or at least divided up among the populace – it would be eliminated as the root of the conflicts and unfairness inherent in any system based on rule by divine right. In the waning days of the Russian Empire, Marx saw the future where the divine rule of the Czars was being replaced by the capitalist power of the bourgeois.
It is also no coincidence that we hear the same argument from collectivists and anarchists today – get God out of government they say, “separation of church and state” they wail.
Marx, like our collectivist brethren of today, was no fan of religion. Strangely enough, if you know the history of the early communist movement, you know that most of its “leading lights” were children of wealthy, religious families, often attending seminary or pursuing religious educations themselves.
Where Marx erred in his formulation was that he thought God was responsible for the faults he saw in the churches and correspondingly, in the systems of government, when in fact it was not God nor religion at all – it was the governing organization of institutional religion that was failing…in short, it was man trying to assume the power of God through the church – or through government.
My first husband was Catholic growing up.
His parents left Indonesia in the early 60s during a time of upheaval when the Communists were trying to take over. My mother-in-law was from a wealthy family who had servants. My father-in-law literally came out of the jungle to an urban area. They had 1 baby with another on the way (my husband). Indonesia had been a Dutch colony from 1800 thru 1949. Many Indonesians immigrated to Holland during this time. My in-laws went to Holland first.
At that time, in order to immigrate to the US, you had to have a sponsor. A Catholic Priest in Chicago sponsored them and they arrived here with $35 in their possession, a baby and one on the way. They are an example of the American Dream. They both worked full-time for at least 30 years for Western Electric. They settled in a small town in the Chicago suburbs. They had 4 children. 3 of them went to college. 1 went on to graduate school.
My husband went on to Yale Divinity School (YDS) for 2 years with the intent to go on to the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago to become a minister. I met him at the small Liberal Arts college affiliated with the Lutheran Church we both attended. Ironically, my and his parents worked together at Western Electric but we didn't meet until we went to the same college. He became a Lutheran at college. He was a year older than me and graduated a year sooner. He went to YDS the first year without me. I graduated. We got married that summer and went back to YDS together. One of the main objectives at YDS was to inform believers their beliefs were hogwash. It was also the very beginning of radical feminism being literally shouted from the Quad. Many methods were deployed to try to get the students to question and eventually give up their religious beliefs.
I got a grant-funded position cataloging LIC publication methods - PCs were relatively new and the YDS library was in the process of inputting the entire collection online. I was literally in the walled-in YDS quad for living and working, so, I heard lots of discussions concerning beliefs and where they emanated from and whether they were strong enough to maintain given the "facts" that were being promulgated by the "anointed" professors.
It all came down to faith. As Lutherans say, "Justification by faith alone." One has to maintain faith in God to allow God to be a presence in their lives. Modern leftists simply choose not to have faith in a system higher than themselves.
PS - I was cataloging Master's Theses when I came across one of my religion Professors from undergrad! Also. my boss encouraged me to write to the Librarian of Congress to let them know it appeared the cataloging of some real human Saints were bring cataloged as ghosts! He graciously wrote back thanking me for the information. I'm sure the LOC wouldn't even had read the letter if it didn't come from YDS. It was an interesting year.
What would be funny in light of their intentions, but is deadly in real life application, is that all the supposed anti-religion philosophies like Marxism, Communism, Socialism, Fascism, Nazism and other Leftist “isms” (yes, Fascism and Nazism - National Socialist German Workers Party- were Lefist - Italy’s and Germany’s versions of Socialism) are all … Religions.
So of course they feel they have a Divine right and hate all the other religions, as religions always do.
I lived half a life in an Eastern European Socialist/ Communist wannabe country and was no different than a religious cult - Marx, Engels and Lenin were Gods, Marx’s Capital book was the Bible, the Communist Party General Secretary was the Pope, all the official meetings were religious ceremonies, speaking up against was blasphemy, you name it.
So of course they feel they have a Divine right and act like Fanatics.
And like in all religions reality is distorted and made to fit the doctrine, and the fact that the results were disastrous and in complete opposition to what they were preaching was hidden, falsified, and made irrelevant. Everything was a great success.
The so called “Democrats” - in reality America’s Fascists - are no different, and display exactly the same traits.
Is a mental sickness.
What we’ve seen with Biden and Kamala is a perfect example of reality denial, and fanaticism.
