the fools or his followers

This may sound more political in nature but it goes deeper.  I believe I mentioned in one of my earlier blog entries that I cannot see how any Christian can vote Democratic, considering the views and stance they believe in.  They are in open rebellion to God, much is standing in view of what the Almighty deems as sin and abominable, and their next task, I believe, is to rid America altogether of anyone who loves God.  Believe it or not, that is not my beef for tonight.
In the first Star Wars movie made (which was Story IV), Obi Won Kanobi made a statement that has rang through my head all day:
"Who is the more foolish, the fool or the fools that follow him?"
I also want to make another point that not many of us think about, but someone (which I can not recall anymore) preached about in a sermon.  Jesus referred to people as "sheep."  Now, many may reference this to other Scriptures that refer the Son of God as a Shepherd, but it also needs to note about sheep and their characteristics.
They're dumb.

Just for general note, they like to graze, they like to wander, they are vulnerable to wolves when they are alone and/or wounded, and they have to be trained to hear the shepherd.  I also heard that, if a sheep  continually strays away after repeated attempts from the shepherd, the master "breaks the leg" of the sheep.  He then tends to the leg in restoring and healing, and carrying it on the shoulders when the sheep graze other places.  Thus, when this sheep's leg is healed where it can walk on its own, it will "remember" the episode when it thinks about straying again, and returns to the flock.
Back to the dumb remark.  Sheep in general have no way of defending itself.  If there are rams within the flock, protection may come from them, otherwise, most sheep have no protection, except from the shepherd and the hired hand.   You may be thinking, how am I going to tie Star Wars IV and sheep together to finish this off?
God requires Christians to pray for those in authority, but also we may have a righteous government, so we may have peaceful lives (1 Timothy 2:1-2).  How could this be if we elect officials who do not have moral convictions?  Yet, there are believers who will still vote in ways with their heart and not the Spirit.  Why do I say that?  Our heart is deceitful in its own way (Jeremiah 17:9).  Democrats no longer fear the LORD, and fools go from no more acknowledging Him to completely denying His existence altogether.
When mankind steps into his culture, his desire is to promote an atmosphere that glorifies himself, better known as humanism.  He also knows that God will not bend down to worship him, and many find it offensive to give our Creator ANY glory.  So he looks to other "sheep."  These types of people love the accolades of man made worship, but they also have to entice other sheep to follow him.  In times past, many leaders have chosen subtle approaches, while promoting hate against those who oppose this view.  Hitler was a master at this, and he came into power in Germany's greatest time of need - and he seized it quickly.  

As I watched the History Channel, when Hitler was elected, he gave the desperate people what they wanted to hear, all in great metaphor.  While the public glamored over his eloquence, in less than two months, he took over the freedom of the press, the freedom of speech, and squashed the political opposition by sending many to prison.  With this done, he now had free reign to slowly integrate his master race scheme.
NOTE:  The Holocaust and eugenics of mental health patients done by the Nazis was brought forth indirectly by Margaret Sanger's view, who founded the current Planned Parenthood.   Her ideas still resound today through government funding under the guise of women's rights.

Understand, mankind does not learn from history.  It is constantly repeating it, but under a different cloak.  In 1 John 2:16, it says man is enticed by three things - the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life.  the devil has been doing this for almost six thousand years.  WHY?  Because it still works.  He treats us like straying sheep, and dupes man into believing it is the need of all worship.  Yet, it indirectly goes to the god of this age.  We cannot learn until we come to Christ and learn to discern in the spirit, and not solely in the flesh (1 Corinthians 2:15). 
To finish, I am totally angry of the issue of Libya and the disdain from the President and his current administration for their handling AND blatant lies to avoid any responsibility for the deaths of four American citizens, including the Ambassador, Chris Stevens.  It has been over four weeks and they STILL refuse to come clean.  Also noting of a recent sting of voter fraud for a Democrat rep. from VA, but the liberal media refuse to report this, and the ignorance of those who chose to vote for anyone these medias outlets support.  Many of them use the ignorance rule - they won't know what we won't tell them.  Sadly, many won't care unless, of course, it affects them directly.  So, the claim here is truly simple:
Are you the fool, or the fool that follows him?
Or are you led by the One, the true Shepherd, who will reign with love, authority and morality soon?
Your choice. 
2 Corinthians 13:5
1 Corinthians 6:14-18, 7:1

I, as moderator of this blog, hold the right to disregard and remove all comments that are hatred by nature. I uphold the rights of opinion and know there will be disagreements. This does not allow spewing of hate for another view for satisfaction. I am open to debate, but it should be kept civil, tranquil (if possible), and Biblical.
Thanks
