Subject: dictatorship superior to democracy? |
Bible Note: Hank: Sounds like a return to the "good old days": the 1950's Bible belt where segregation, exclusion, censorsorship, regimented prayer...and most of all...hypocrisy, was king. Sure, there's less "law" now, perhaps more sinners... but that's the price of freedom:freewill. Go to Iran, not many overt sinners there, and all the public prayer you can swallow. Frankly, I'll take 2003 sinners over 1953's Pharisees any day. My sense is Jesus would too. PS: can't recall, but wasn't Christianity the required state religion during the last centuries of the Roman Empire? |
