[QUOTE="jgarden, post: 57869783, member: 22001"] [b]It can be argued that any form of a secular government is in itself a "rejection of God!" One of the major reasons for the "elders of Israel" requesting a king was the illusion of military security - "our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles." Samuel passed on God's warning to the people of the consequences of this decision - by appointing a king, the people would in turn be reduced to the status of servants under his rule. The history of Israel also shows that while having a king did not necessarily translate into military victories, their lavish lifestyles did weaken the nation, resulting in its splitting it into two and hastening its demise. Like the Israelites, America has spend billions to create the illusion of military security for its people. Vietnam, 9/11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have demonstrated the fact that possessing the world's strongest military is no guarantee of a final victory. All this military spending, however, has come at the cost of those "who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." Gandhi understood this and dedicated his life to improving the life of the "masses" through peacefull means![/b] [/QUOTE]
