Just as our Constitution was designed to secure the rights granted to us by God, I expect the new Egyptian form of government to reflect Allah.
As Christians, we have free will. Islamists are free only to obey Allah. When one’s relationship to Allah is that of slave to master, it follows that one will be prone to accept totalitarian government here on earth.
Is it possible that the inner urge, or push, for freedom being felt and expressed by the folks speaking to reporters in the square today might not be reflections of some "self-evident" truth which had penetrated through even their previous concepts of a Supreme Being?
Even in Christianity, there have been those who held to the slave/master idea, living out their lives in submission to church leaders, rather than exercising free will and enjoying "the blessings of liberty."
My point was that America's Founders articulated ideas which were abstract and revolutionary, and those ideas changed the world of that day. Inasmuch as the principles were enduring and, as Lincoln said, "applicable to all men and all times," perhaps the same Divine Providence which operated on this little spot on the globe in 1776 might open the minds of individuals in other lands in 2011 to bring liberty and light to dark places.
Just an idea! Peace!!
