When I lay down with my wife at night I am alway running through things in my mind before I fall asleep.
I was thinking about the Middle East and this administrations need to democratize just about every part of the world that it can because many Americans feel it is the best way of life.
I do agree that it is a "good" way of life but I do not know if it is "the best".
Anyway I have noticed that Democracy is a big thing but God is not assigned to us as a leader by us. He has asssigned himself and even if we object and he does things that aren't so ethic there is not way for us to vote him out of office. He can do what he wants and we as his people can do nothing about it.
So I am wondering. If democracy is so wonderful why do we follow a God who is not elected?
I just think it is odd that we want this world to be democratized but follow a leader (God) that has assigned himself to us. We did not choose him to be our spiritual leader.
I don't know... just something I thought about..
