Beware
of the "one God, one vote" rhetoric of the serpent. A true democracy
is where the majority wills or "votes" for the one God's rule on this
earth. Remember the words of William Penn: "If men do not find God, they
will be ruled by tyrants”.
Sensible
women seek the dominance of a wise husband. The rest appoint a weak male whom
they can dominate and manipulate. In essence, the former relationship is a
healthy democracy. After all, a woman doesn't have to marry. The latter
represents the kind of democracy we have now, where the sinful masses elect
idol-politicians who justify them in their sins. In Sodom and Gomorrah, too,
everyone had his own lifestyle, and each did what was good in his own eyes—and
as a reward for their foolishness, God destroyed them.
So
the problem with a democracy is the people. With good people comes a sound,
workable democracy. Otherwise, you have a democracy in name only and that
begins the nightmare and tyranny of "hypocrisy," leading to
revolution and dictatorship.
Another
danger to democracy is the misuse of duly authorized power. Authority must be
just. A husband must be considerate of his wife's real needs as a human being,
as well as firm with any foolishness. If he uses his God-given manly role to
oppress and use his wife, then you have a dictatorship, not a marriage. And if the
husband is weak, you have a female dictatorship in the name of marriage which
leads to the usual rebellion, treason and coups against the tyrant.
It
is not the institution of marriage that is the problem, just as the problem
does not lie with democracy or religion per se. Those institutions are
basically wholesome and noble, and they are God's gift to His people. But when
they are misused and misunderstood, you have democracy, marriage and
Christianity in name only. They become a system of justice which unjust people
hide behind in order to exploit others legally.
