Majority Rule

Obedience to Authority and Absurdity of Trained Majority - Alan Watt

CONTROLLED MEANING: The democratic process for fair election, insuring that citizens remain free and adequate control over their government.

ACTUAL MEANING: Tyranny by the majority over the minority. Whether Democracy or Republic, Majority Rule forces a percentage of the people to conform to principles they do not accept. Scripture forbids Majority Rule: "You shall not follow a multitude (the majority) to evil; neither shall you speak in a cause to turn aside after many (the majority) to pervert judgment." — Exodus 23:2

The problem with "majority rule" is that it is a form of "RULE." "Rule" is "Tyranny." "Rulers" are "tyrants." In Democracies, voters vie for the position of majority so they can rule over the minority. The word "rule" is the key. Whether King, Dictator, or a Majority, "rule" negates man's freedom. "Rule" is a status never sanctioned by God.
