Episode 35: How Does Democracy Promote War?
Listen
Doesn’t democracy promote peace? Isn’t that why we have a United Nations? Yet Revelation describes democracy as “unclean spirits like frogs... to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty” [Rev 16:13-14]. The current Iraq war gives part of the answer: democratic nations seem inclined to go to war to spread democracy. Socialist nations are just as willing to go to war to promote their ideology. It almost makes you miss the days that kings went to war because they held grudges against their cousin ruling some other country!
