1 | dictatorship superior to democracy? | Dan 2:37 | EdB | 82365 | ||
Pastor Glenn Yes a dictatorship is stronger than a democracy, while displayed in this passage in the Bible, that is trend is also seen in any study of political science or sociology. However that does not mean it is the most desirable. Each successive government in Neuchadnezzar's dream was represented by a low quality metal. Gold being the highest assigned to Nebuchadnezzar's dictatorship down to iron and clay assigned to Rome's democracy. In order of personal preference we would prefer the democracy. However most Democracies give into dictatorships when social morals drop so low that crime and anarchy reign. The framers of our constitution realized this and most commented that the democracy of the US hinged on the Christian ethics and morals, if they disappear the democracy will collapse. EdB |
