democracy anyone?

so yea... lets start my rant by wishing Malaysia well.... 51 yrs of independance.... hopefully many more to follow...

we live in a world where democracy prevails.... democracy, the right of everyone and anyone to have a say in the way things are... a good concept as it is, better than tyranny of a dictatorship.... nevertheless, good things such as these have a MAJOR flaw....

in a democracy, what is required for a decision is basically a majority.... it requires the agreement of MOST of the ppl so that actions can be taken.... why is this so? in a logical sense, if MOST ppl want it, then it should be done.... right? WRONG!!!

what is popular is seldom right, and what is right is seldom popular... so how can a majority alone decide what is right or wrong, what is important or not.... a decision made on the sole basis of a majority shows that it is a POPULAR decision, but it in NO WAY justifies it as a right one...

democracy in principal is ideal, but in practice, it is merely a way of saying "lets do what is popular, instead of what is right." i am a supporter of the concept of democracy, but what is needed is a mechanism to enforce what is right ALTHOUGH it does nor garner a majority...
i talk about a power so superior that it dwarfs any majority on earth... i'm talking bout God...

I dont wanna be a democratic christian.... i dont wanna bend to the tyranny of a majority.... I want to bend to the will of a KING... the KING of ALL KINGS.... in other words, i support a monarchy-style christian life....

this type of life is different from any other monarchies or dictatorships in the world.... this is because my King is incorruptible, He is NEVER wrong, and He always makes the best desicions...
i place my loyalty and complete control of my life to someone not of natural being, but of supernatural being....

that is how it was supposed to be.... democratic christianity is what we MAN made up.... there is no such thing.... its either you accept a King that will control your life, or you dont.... simple as that.... sadly to say, a number of ppl dont find this concept intriguing...

i sincerely hope for change.... i hope that ppl will open their eyes and see the flaws that this 'democracy' have to offer.... i hope that they will follow what is RIGHT rather than what is POPULAR....

i would have written a longer post, but i'm super tired.... and a chat with an old friend inspired me to type this up.... so yea... food for thought...
