If there is no God, then who do human beings turn to for help and rely on in times of trouble? Well, if there is no God, then that leaves but one choice: humans.
Liberals hate God. It doesn’t make sense to despise someone you don’t believe to exist, but liberals do, vehemently. And incidentally, why is that? It’s nonsensical, really, hating a figment of imagination. It’s just a figment, a ridiculous deistic creation. Just say you don’t believe in such nonsense and move on. Instead, liberals show open disdain for the Bible. They definitely hate the Ten Commandments, particularly posted anywhere. The openly hate and mock Christians and evangelicals, hate prayer in schools, the phrase “In God We Trust” on money, the phrase “One Nation Under God,” founding documents that reference God—over and over again, and a nation founded on God and Christianity, by white people no less.
Liberals hate God, obviously. But when you ask them if they do, they hem-haw, say no. So, why the contradiction? Implying they loathe God is so many ways, then confessing the opposite? Well, what else would you expect from hypocrites? The dirty little secret is, they are probably afraid that there might actually be a God, and that offending him might not be such a good idea. Thereto, in a dichotomy of good and evil, when you say you hate God, you’re implying that you prefer evil, which isn’t a personal branding enhancement.
Nevertheless, whether liberals believe in God or not, they certainly don’t follow his rules. To liberals, God is at best incidental in the larger world, perhaps a comforting thought in those desperate times when there is no hope to be found anywhere else. But other than that, God is nonessential. Rather, the big guy upstairs just isn’t dependable enough for liberals [because, eh-hm, he really doesn’t exist]. So regarding leadership, this is precisely why liberals are so drawn to other human beings. Smart, accomplished, prominent humans that liberals consider more intelligent and more qualified than themselves. Humans who can watch over them, who can solve their problems and protect them, and of whom liberals make earthly deities. These are the gods of liberals, to whom they grant authority, and on whom they bestow loyalty. It is called human worship, and it is a practice more common than some might suspect.
While American patriots fought for their revolutionary independence, for example, there were “loyalists”—American citizens yet loyal to the British crown and not to the revolution—among them. The king, the monarchal paradigm, made these loyalists feel safe and secure. Loyalists valued this subservient arrangement, relished the idea of another human being(s), a king and his royal officers, taking responsibility for their lives, safety, and happiness.
Who else was going to provide those things? God? [mocking laughter].
Well, that is exactly what the American rebels thought. Taking it to the king and his army, the rebels, in their righteous fight for freedom, thought God would indeed help them to prevail, and they were obviously right. But while these freedom-fighters were battling, their fellow citizens, these dependent and servile loyalists, these human worshipers, were providing aid and comfort to the British army. The loyalist’s fleshly lords and saviors.
The point is some people prefer subordinating themselves and their lives to other human beings, who they make gods on earth. Real gods. Tangible gods. People smarter, more accomplished, more qualified, prominent, and ultimately better.
Because, who else can fill that role? God? [more mocking laughter].
Long before the loyalists and the Revolutionary War, the Jews did the same thing. A trusted and respected prophet, Samuel was God’s chosen voice and messenger on earth, who also righteously judged all of Israel on God’s behalf. To be like all the other nations, however, the Jews determined they wanted a king to judge and rule over them, instead. This idea greatly displeased Samuel. God was the King of the Jews, was/is the God and authority of all humankind, actually, which Samuel well understood. Concerned, he appealed to God regarding the Jewish request. In paraphrased response, God:
“Listen to the people; give them what they want. They aren’t rejecting you, Samuel. They are rejecting me, that I should not reign over them.”
So, despite all the astounding visible miracles God had performed for the Jews in Egypt and beyond—all meant to help the Jews believe in him and to encourage their trust. The Jews still wanted someone else, a human being, to secure their lives and happiness. So here is God parting the Red Sea, which is no less 16 miles wide at its narrowest point, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which is unlikely the spot where the Jews crossed, argue historians, but nevertheless. This miraculous feat having taking place before the very eyes of Jewish ancestry, relived and retold by Grandpa Levi every Rosh Hashana, feebly waving his favored walking-staff around with passion and verve to the wide-eyed delight of his grandchildren: “… and the sea walls rose from the deep sea bottom and cut a dry, 16-mile path straight to the other side!”
Despite Grandpa’s captivating, eyewitness history lesson. Despite God having visibly demonstrated not just his unopposable power and strength to Grandpa and all the Promise Land-bound Jews, but his authenticity and legitimacy, too. The Jews still wanted a human god to rule over them instead. So, God obliged.
He gave them King Saul, an oppressive ruler.
Samuel tried to warn the Jews about what they were getting themselves into, what they were bringing on themselves and their families. They had angered God. Resentful, he was making them slaves to an oppressive human regime: You want human gods? You got it, folks. Still, the Jews wouldn’t listen:
“Nay, but we will have a king over us; that we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight for us.”
As if … God didn’t miraculously free them from Egypt and part the Red Sea.
So, human worship is quite common historically, at least for some people, and those people are uniformly liberals. Liberal loyalists. Liberal Jews. Modern day liberal voters. They have belonged to various societal groups throughout millennia, but they all do the same thing: make leadership gods of ordinary human beings. In fact, the deistic ascension of human beings and human rule have been the societal standard for nearly all of human history. A practice challenged and changed by the self- and citizen-rule American experiment, which, not so surprisingly, has been fought every step of the way by the same old servile liberals yet yearning for their human gods instead. First a human king to replace God, then it was democrat politicians and their established order.
Liberals mock the whole idea, scoff when you call them human worshipers. But here is how you know they do it and that it is true, that they deify ordinary human beings: their gods caught lying and cheating, caught being ordinary, fallible human beings, just like themselves. These human worshipers, these liberal slaves, overlook and ignore all the human failure.
Their gods can’t fail; else the faithful have no gods.
Liking someone else’s ideas, fine. But when that someone is proven a corrupt liar, and the loyalty and servility still remain. Well, that is entirely something else. It is making infallible gods of human beings and human worship, in fact. The eminent Thomas Sowell:
“Facts are seldom allowed to contaminate the beautiful vision of [liberals]. What matters to the true believers are the ringing slogans, endlessly repeated. Darwinian adaptation to environment applies not only to nature but also to society. Just as you don’t find eagles living in the ocean or fish living on mountain tops, so you don’t find [liberals] concentrated where their ideas have to stand the test of performance.”
Liberals see their human gods as unerring and utterly reliable. In fact, they won’t see them any other way, won’t allow any established facts of human failure to contaminate their beautiful deistic perception. They won’t visit places where these perceptions are challenged, either, like Fox News or talk radio, for example, or at Thanksgiving dinner, where MAGA members might attend. And if they do visit these venues, they shriek “racism!” and “bigotry!” to every criticism, accusation, and truth to manage and escape the performance testing.
Simply put: their human gods and leaders shall not be challenged.
Not Hillary.
Not Obama.
Not Joe Biden or Hunter.
Not the news media.
The liberal faithful simply cannot/will not abide it.
One doesn’t find liberals assessing or acknowledging the failures of their human gods. One finds them defending their gods so that the idea their gods are mere mortals doesn’t root itself. For instance, when Kamala Harris is giving one of her infamous indecipherable word salad answers that makes no sense at all. There are the liberal faithful, applauding the remarks as the most profound idea ever uttered by a human being. Or when Joe Biden has a cognitive break and wanders aimlessly into the White House landscaping and the Amazon jungle. There are the liberal faithful, asserting that Biden is the best cognitive version of himself ever.
When their gods lie, there are the faithful, supporting the lie, helping to perpetuate the lie.
When their gods are hypocritical, there are the faithful, joining in the hypocrisy and calling the accusers names.
Whatever immoral, depraved, or evil thing their human gods are involved in, there are the liberal faithful, shaping the perception of infallibility and ensuring their human gods endure. Why?
Because their gods must endure.
Because these gods are all the liberal faithful have to rely on.
So, when a nation’s founding documents assert that people are “endowed by their Creator,” and half the nation’s population, liberals, yearns for human gods instead. One can understand the political and societal friction. And it isn’t just about God and whose deity is supreme, either, but about the utter pathetitude of the liberal individual—collectively, people with no confidence in themselves and pining for hope and security among beings …
Just like themselves. Only unerring and supreme.
The societal result is despotism and communism, exemplified by King Saul. Led by God, nations thrive. Led by human beings, they invariably fall prey to human weakness and human failure, wherein people suffer, and worse. However, the problem isn’t leadership, necessarily. It is liberals, the human worshipers who make other humans their gods. Sowell again:
“As long as human beings are imperfect, there will always be arguments for extending the power of government [human beings] to deal with these imperfections. The only logical stopping place is totalitarianism, unless we realize that tolerating imperfections is the price of freedom.”
Making those arguments and extending that power to human beings are servile liberals. To them, it isn’t a world without God. It is a world with their gods ascended and in power—albethey flesh and human like them, but nonetheless infallible, righteous, and holy.
