Democracy Not Good Government

Editor’s Note: Rejecting Theocracy, 2025

This page samples www.hom.net/~angels/democracy.html (archived), a fundamentalist rant claiming America’s Constitution bows to God’s Word. History be damned—they mean it. I reject this guy; he wants a theocracy, not liberty. The Bill of Rights isn’t secondary to any scripture. As a Classical Deist in 2025, I say democracy, flawed as it is, beats divine rule—reason and consent over dogma. This view’s echoes linger in today’s Christian nationalist push, but the Founders built a secular republic, not a Bible state. —Lewis Loflin

Citizens for the Ten Commandments: Democracy Is Not a Good Form of Government

Democracy is misunderstood. When I oppose it, people cry sedition, imagining I’d topple the government. But if you grasp democracy’s moral rot, you’d see rejecting it aligns with Christian truth. Democracy, hyped as a cure, is the root of global woes.

Origin of Democracy

Democracy began in ancient Greek city-states—small, citizen-led, excluding women and servants. Primitive, sure, but its true start was with Satan. He and his angels craved God-like self-rule, broke divine law, and got cast out. On Earth, Satan lured Adam to defy God by eating the forbidden fruit. Later, Pilate caved to the mob’s vote to crucify Christ over Barabbas. Democracy fueled three cosmic disasters.

What Makes Democracy Wrong

Democracy doesn’t seek what’s best—it bows to majority whims. If most want cigarettes for babies, babies get them, harm ignored. If they reject school morality, it’s gone. This isn’t good—you know it. Democracy spurns God’s wisdom for man’s selfish, depraved impulses, yielding junk laws.

It mimics Satan’s bid to be God—free of law, doing as He pleases. Humans, under God’s law, can’t act or speak freely without harm. Blasphemy’s a sin, yet democracy calls it “free speech.” Sin sends you to hell—freedom’s a lie. We’re bound by the Ten Commandments, like it or not.

People Rule = Sin Rules

Everyone sins—don’t pretend otherwise. Sinful humans shouldn’t self-govern; they’ll craft evil laws. America proves it: abortion, gay rights, anti-death penalty—all from depravity. Our laws get tangled, full of loopholes. Only God’s Ten Commandments cut through the mess.

This Man Has a Right to His Belief

You have the right to be right—only right. No right to be wrong. If you’re clueless, shut up and don’t mislead. You can’t teach Earth’s billions of years old—it’s false. Lies have no rights. Democracy’s “free speech” excuses slurs, but we must speak truth and respect the worthy. World ills stem from defying God for personal wants.

If beliefs are sacred, Hitler’s off the hook—he just followed his. Wrong beliefs hurt, like cults prove. Wars spark from clashing dogmas; God’s law could end them. Democracy breeds chaos by unleashing dangerous diversity.

I Respect Your Opinion, But I Disagree

You’re free to ditch any wrong belief—morality and God demand it. Respect what’s right; fight what’s not. Wrongness has no place—it’s discord’s ally. Disagreeing is disrespect by definition. I only back what’s true.

God Is Against Democracy

Think God’s fine with us doing whatever? Naive. He’ll punish evil desires harsher than anyone—hell’s proof.

But This Is a Christian Nation

Wrong. Christians fled here for freedom, but the Founders—liberal for their day—drew a secular Constitution, sidelining God’s morality. Contemporary Christians saw them as radicals. They were.
