Question Details Asked By Asked On
Well, that stopped the clock, but, now for a serious question ... Erewhon 10/23/05
    As a Christian or any kind of believer, "Do you believe that your first duty is to your God or to the President/ruler of your nation, and what do you do if you truly believe that your President/ruler is not doing God's will in something? Who do you choose - God or the President/ruler"

    Please - no lists of names!



    The witch hunt is temporarily on hold.

Actually, dear Ronnie, I believe that my first duty is to myself :=)

That's what any Christian President of any country will tell you, if he is honest enough - which he isn't, otherwise, he won't be president :=)

I can hear God's voice well enough in my conscience.

And I wanna bet that's what your President and mine will tell you, too! :=)

You must be aware that here in the Philippines, we have overthrown two of our Presidents already and we are close to overthrowing our third.

But it's not because they did not do God's will. That's not their job, we believe. They are not priests of the church. The president's job is to do the will of the people because he is supposed to take care of their welfare - in peace or in war.

But that is of course, being idealistic.

Presidents always think they are God, though they won't say it aloud.
