"I sort of agree with Billbears, the bible does not provide support for democracy. Choice, yes, democracy, no. " ??

Democracy is choice!

Democracy is majority rule. Choice is freedom. They are different. In fact, democracy can take away freedom. We have a constitutional republic, with freedom given precedence over democracy.

The people you live with can't force thier "choices" on you through a democratic vote for a government intervention. At least they aren't supposed to be able to do so.

Anyway, I don't mean to belabor the point. I think though it is clear from reading scripture that "benevolent dictatorship" is a much better description of God's final plan for us than "democracy". I see no indication that God's plan is to give us all a vote in how things are run.
