Religious debate

[Beskar]

God doesn't hate democracy, he simply has no use for it with relation to himself. You don't run a househol using democracy, do you? Imagine if every parent said: "So, children, should you go to bed now?" or "Shall we decide that running in the road is a bad idea?

In the House-hold, the parents make the decisions as legal guardians, also as such, the parents relationship is democratic and the children consult with their parents.

Obviously, this is describing one of those "perfect household" situations.

It was mainly a provocative statement for debate. One of the questions i always have, lets say the Christian God was real, why should you worship him? In many ways, he is like a Slave Master. He punishes those who defy him, he rewards his good servants, and wants to be worshipped. It is a rather dominating egotistical relationship. I don't intend to Godwin, but it is very similar to a Cult of Personality. Loyal supporters get rewarded, those who are not loyal end up on the short-end. I believe it even goes into if you live a veyr good life, you still end up going to hell for not worshipping him.

Then there are those institutions mainly in the catholic faith just like the Pope, which ranks people in a heirarchical structure, compared to Methodist concept of a personal God, where anyone can pray to him.
