It's been a while, hasn't it? However, recent events and postings from others have inspired me to post. My thought for the day is from the Psalms (Psalm 2):
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people murmur in vain.
2 The kings of the earth band themselves, and the Princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
3 Let us break their bands, and cast their cords from us.
4 But he that dwelleth in the heaven shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
...and another from Paul's letter to the Romans:
31 Which men, though they knew the Law of God, how that they which commit such things are worthy of death, yet not only do the same, but also favor them that do them.
The voice of the people ("vox populi") is not the voice of God ("vox Dei"). Furthermore, God is the only origin of what may be properly called "fundamental rights." We mock God and provoke his wrath when we put ourselves in His place, ignore his law and limits, and pretend we are speaking for Him.
