ARE YOU GUILTY OF HAVING A FALSE GOD? LIBERALS ARE!


Submitted by: Doris Parker


I must admit, I've never really thought about the possibility of government being a false god.

The author of this article (Christine Smith) makes a very convincing argument that governments can indeed become false gods.




Work ethic is a set of values based on hard work and diligence.
It is also a belief in the moral benefit of work and its ability to enhance
character.Work ethics demonstrate many things about whom and how a person truly is.

We used to think of “God, family, and country,” but the significance of the first two has been effectively diminished in this society where self-reliance is the exception rather than the rule. Most Americans would scoff at the assertion they have made the government into a god, but a look at their dependency on the federal government and loyalty to it prove otherwise.
 From cradle to the grave, it is to the government that people now look to provide all the things a father should provide for his family or which they previously had prayed for God to provide. These include one’s physical needs of housing, food, medical care, transportation, security, and safety, and a stipend ensuring financial security into retirement.

Big government is more than willing to play the part of societal benefactor. Where Americans once looked to their faith and family for true benevolence in times of need, they now look to the god of government, even for daily existence. It gladly steps in, reaping the benefits of undeserved power and absolute rule over the lives of millions.

Men do indeed make gods in their own image, with the self-serving nature of today’s politicians a direct reflection of the self-serving nature of a weak people. They form a perverted unconstitutional alliance with government, both as individuals and through their businesses, because they permit selfishness to dictate actions rather than ethics. They look to government to forcibly take from some to give to others in need, distancing themselves yet further from true charity and true religion.

No government should be the source to protect and maintain a person throughout his life, but that’s what is happening in the United States. Government has become a false god, an idol with feet of clay, and as such is destined to fail – to crumble – and along with it the liberty and economy of the people, who in their weakness and fear mistakenly venerated it.
