I might be the wrong person to ask that particular question to.
I am not a particularly religious person, even though I believe in Jesus Christ very much and pray often. I generally reject religion.
However, I distrust our government so much that I literally view it as that hydra I posted above.
I think it’s pure evil. I think it is the Beast, and I have called it The Axis of Evil, and that is what I think it is.
I will not accept this type of ID from it. If that particular prophecy is true, which it may very well be, then this, I think, would be it.
I don’t forget the Lord bidding “do not turn to left or right.” Or as C. S. Lewis paraphrased it, “The devil sends errors into the world in pairs.”
If any worldly thing has become “pure” evil to you, beware its opposite departure from the command, as you can be pushed headlong into it easily by Satan.
Governments are good things in the abstract. Romans 13. Doing bad things with them is evil. A government doesn’t get Hydra headed without someone wanting all those heads.
If I read your response right you do not reject faith, but perhaps you reject the organized (some might call it corporate) church. In that you would probably find much sympathy and agreement among followers of Christ. The body of believers make up the “church” that Jesus talked about - not denominations or buildings. These institutions have often behaved just like the government you despise.
With regards to the government.... it is a necessary evil and in our nation, unlike many, it is a reflection of us. Division = power and both parties have played the game very well. If we were not so divided our politicians would be far less wealthy. It has reached a point where there is little agreement over anything and sadly, the left has ultimately played the game much better than the right. They control the media, academia to include primary schools, and of course, as always throughout history the drivers of culture. In a nation that is self-absorbed and lacks reason, this is a force that will ultimately win. This must be the only reason why those on the far left in government keep overplaying their hand. They are losing at the moment, but they believe they have the better hand in the long run. We believe we have the better plan, but too few are hearing it.
