Millions of Americans and news media talking heads worship government as God.
It is pounded into the heads of children through government schools. We used to have 3 times daily bowing to Washington with the morning Noon and evening news. Now we have multiple channels 24/7.
It will be interesting when their god fails them.
worship government as God.
I would say they worship man - as the ultimate authority for truth. Humanism. Government as the instrument of man to 'perfect' man. The foundation for much suffering.
Yes, when their god fails...
I think we saw the momentary height of this in the immediate aftermath of Katrina...when NOLA-ites & the MSM expected govt to be people's god and bush to be their personal savior.
If Romney becomes prez...and he prays to a false god for whate'er may "benefit" the United States, it'll be interesting not only when the Mormon god fails to deliver -- which is a guarantee -- but also when the ONE TRUE GOD may become a bit riled that so many people would expect a man with a false god to lead them to the economic promised land.
THAT -- is part & parcel of the idolatry going on here...not only that so many would endorse a man pretending and portending to be a GOD, but that they would trust the god of this man to deliver them economically.
How sad...
In politics, the Church teaches there are non-negotiables on some government policies. In neither do I justify not voting for a candidate solely because he is a member of the LDS church. [D-fendr]
And how sad that the god of d-fendr only is interested in certain policy non-negotiables, apparently NOT which god that POTUS will -- as THE leader of the Free world -- appeal to in case of dire emergencies...in case of drought...in case of massive wildfires...in case of major earthquakes...in case of massive terrorist attacks...in case of an even worse economic free-fall...
I guess that's just all seismology and meteorology and economics and forestry -- things your church doesn't have positions on, eh, D-fendr???
