The ideology
that is most embraced by the West and the least challenged is not liberalism, homosexualism,
feminism, postmodernism or capitalism. It is democracy. The spirit of democracy
has swept through the Church with many Christians showing support for separation
between Church and state. Before one can understand a doctrine, one must
carefully examine its origins. The origins of the doctrine of separation of
Church and state arose when the Church failed to stop usury, abomination to
God. (Ezekiel 18:13)
The Bible
may not mention the word ‘democracy’, but that does not mean God approves of
it. Similarly, the Bible does not mention ‘abortion’, but God does not approve
of it because it is murder. Democracy is rule by the people, for the
people, of the people. It elevates humankind
to be sovereign above all things, violating God’s sovereignty. In Romans
13:1-2, the Bible states: Let every soul be subject unto the
higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are
ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the
power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to
themselves damnation. (Romans
13:1-2) Since democracy elevates man’s laws to be above that of God’s laws,
democracy is an attempt to usurp God from His rightful position that humans are
not even worthy to even pick up crumbs from. Anything that attempts to usurp
God’s Sovereignty, or to pervert God’s order for the Universe or World, is
against God, hence, anti-Christian.
The spirit
of humanism that democracy possesses explains why democracy can only be true
democracy if it is secular, that is, without God. Within the rules of
democracy, the interests of the people under it are to be paramount and
‘up-to-date’ with the spirit of the times. The phrase ‘up-to-date with the
times’ is a humanistic one, which implies that man’s rules are paramount, and
that morality can be abandoned whenever it suits a social goal. Since what
values are to be embedded and respected by law are determined by the interests
of individuals, the spirit of democracy is one of individualism. The product of
such individualism renders democracy to be the rule of the majority.
Many
people, including many Christians are blinded to the majoritarianistic rule of
democracy, and hence are lead to believe that standing up for minority values,
such as Christian values is illegitimate as it amounts to imposing one’s views
on another. However, majority views are legitimately embedded in the law
because democracy is rule by majority. That is why Christians are marginalised
in a secular democratic society. That is why Christians are accused of being
“biased” when they stand up for their values. That is why secularists,
feminists, atheists, progressives and liberalists are never ‘biased’ when they
force the Church to eradicate it values of a “bygone era”.
In America,
the name of God cannot be used in public schools. In Australia, where I am
from, people yell “discrimination” and “evildoer” as soon as it is suggested
that people study the history of religion or
merely exposed to Creationism in school . Australia’s cultural decline is actually
much worse than that in America. At least in America, there are people keeping
up the “good fight” through independent media. The Christians in Australia are asleep and barely
aware of the future of the cultural downward spiral towards destruction. At
least in America, the motives of those anti-Christians activists are known, and
many young people are against abortion. In Australia, anyone who even speaks against abortion is seen as
“backwards” and “misogynist” . About 60%
of Australians are in favour of abortion.
Such a
spirit of individualism and humanism leads to cultural decline. Australia is
becoming more and more anti-Christian by the day, and becoming more
liberalised, sexualised and mammonised at an accelerating rate. It is because
of the spectre of individual and humanism that has seduced Australia into
thinking is future is bright, when it is anything but bright.
