I hate to say it, but this didn't happen when there was global communism.

What is it about the human condition that calls for authortarianism to keep a lid on things, for most peoples?

- it's called the total depravity of man.

In godless societies and theocracies it is seen at it's worst or at least purest.

Without common grace man sinks to the pits of putrid vile behavior and still thinks he is doing good. Deluded and morally dead, they not only do evil but encourage others to do likewise. They use law to control because they have no understanding of responsibility and grace. But the buses usually run on time.

It's all there in Romans 2.


kind regards

Au contraire. Islam has been on the bloody loose for about 1400 years butchering, conquering, and terrorizing all the way to today. Nothing new about these guys. Whar's new is that Israel is there and the US is here.
