People don't elect God.
People don't vote on edicts like the Ten Commandments and Koran.
So how can any religious person truly believe in Democracy?
I see this as a contradiction for Bush and the Christian GOP to be in Iraq fighting to establish Democracy.
The native people there favor Allah's dictatorship.
And Bush favors Jesus' dictatorship.
Liberal atheists like me are the only people who believe in democracy and there's not one of us in the whole shooting match over in Iraq. Not one.

In my religion, the Great Spirit is what the Great Spirit is-- I use the terms God and Goddess to personify. Anyway, God and Goddess are who they are, like I am who I am. There was no election, just like I didn't get an election to decide who my parents were.
In my beliefs, there is no dictatorship, I don't believe God and Goddess tell us what to do, or are bothered even if we don't worship or honor Them.

No. A dictator rules over a people who have not have been given any selection yet to obey. final time I checked, you're no longer obligated to belong to ANY faith, even in places like Iran or Saudi Arabia. on account that's voluntary, no, that's no longer a dictatorship. As you gave on your occasion, there are 2 components, 3 substantial religions. in accordance to you, you may could desire to obey all of them, be compelled to obey all of them. this is basically no longer so. i understand lots greater Christians who consume beef than do no longer and few who do no longer consume beef do it out of non secular principals. regardless of the shown fact that, does not the previous testomony of the Christian Bible state to no longer consume meat of an animal with a cloven hoof? Many Christians will say that Christ gave a clean covanent, yet carry the ten Commandments because of the fact the be attentive to God's regulation. they simply overlook approximately an excellent sort of the different commandments of their previous testomony. between the flaws that I found out collectively as interpreting Judaism is suitable to the word "chosen human beings". From what Rabbi taught us interior the class, it had no longer something to do with God choosing a human beings, it became right into a pair of human beings choosing to obey what God gave them. You do have selection. below a dictatorship, you do no longer.

The whole Muslim religion is as big of a joke as the Christian religion. Bush is a total fool, aiming to get capitalism in every european country, no matter what the cost.

God is the most merciful and kind ruler, the proof of that is your question and all questions similar that attack the almighty creator, because if god was a dictator the minute you finish posting your question your tongue will be cut and your hands will be paralyzed...that's dictatorship, but since you are free to write anything about god and nothing happen to you, i call that "FREEDOM OF SPEECH".

Jesus never had nor advocated a dictatorship. you must be confusing Him with the god of the o.t.
