We see the fallen nature of mankind in action and the attention they give to ways of the world.
Wow... I'm going to have fun with this...
Divorce was frowned upon until the government said, Divorce is fine. People who previously held divorce to be wrong rushed to get divorces, even though they professed to be people of God who had been warned against the ways of the world.
So let's look at that. Yes, divorce was frowned upon when WOMEN WERE CONSIDERED PROPERTY. And how dare the property get uppity and want a divorce from a man who is cheating on her, beating her or otherwise making her life miserable.
Then this fat idiot came along....
... and just like that, divorces were cool. Unless you were Catholic, then you had to bribe a bunch of repressed homosexuals into giving you an annulment.
Abortion was frowned upon until the government said, "Abortion is fine, in fact is a woman's right." People who then rushed to get abortions even though they professed to be people of God who had been warned against the ways of the world.
A couple of problems here.
First, Abortion is never specifically prohibited by the bible, and in fact, most anti-abortion laws didn't start appearing until the mid-19th century. This was about the same time that professional Doctors (Men) started replacing midwives in the administration of pre-natal care. Before that, midwives would help women who really didn't want that fifth child they couldn't feed end their pregnancy.
After men decided abortion was bad, women still had them. All Roe vs. Wade did was make what everyone was already doing legal.
Next, "Give homosexuality positive attention and freed back" and now that the government (the world) has given permission, people do just that.
Again, do you really think that gay people only started existing when government told them they could? Are you really this naïve?
This kind of hits close to home to me, because I had an aunt who was gay. Because she had the bad luck to grow up in a family of devout Catholics in the 1950's, she instead pretended to be straight (that lasted about a year, but they never got divorced, just "separated" for 40 years), and she was pretty miserable.
Government says, "Men can say they are women and women can say they are men" and the people fall into line.
Do you think that Transgenderism only started when government started recognizing it?
Government: Put on your mask! And people put on their masks.
Um, yeah, unlike scapula's and yarmulkes and crosses, masks have a defined benefit that can be scientifically proven.
Government: Turn in your parents! Your children! Your neighbors! And people do.
Wow, I missed a memo... When did this happen?
We are a worldly people, who when told to turn on people who are not of this world will readily do so.
We are sheep. Who believe the government is our shepherd. A government that believes and treats us as not only stupid, but expendable. Other sheep can always be brought in.
Oh, I agree, most people are sheep. Organized religion counts on people being sheep.
So let's compare.
Religion- Do what we say, and you will get a benefit after you are dead, we totes promise.
Democracy - We all agree on what we want to do, and you will get a benefit in this life.
I'll take Democracy, thanks.
