Well, radicals claims that the world of United States Government has been racked by scandal since it began, but that does not means that one tears down the whole government and starts from scratch as the Communists did in Russia. Oh, really, and why not? If a plant springs up bearing poisonous berries, one cannot prune and water it and expect it to produce tomatoes. One must remove it at the root and plant tomatoes. Therefore if the Church produces bad fruit, it must be shredded to the foundation and replanted - this is why God judged the world with a flood. It is also why the new covenant was made.

The conceit of the revolutionary is that he has been chosen by God, but as he goes about his work of destruction, it becomes only too evident that he has been chosen by Satan. So that when he dies and comes face to face with Jesus, the Lord says, only "I do not know you."
