Idea For A New Religion - Part 9 - Government

GOVERNMENT A 1) Democracy is sacred. God is all of the people and the voice of the people is the voice of God. 2) Socialism is sacred. God is all; the rich and the poor; the workers and the owners. 3) Liberalism is sacred. God is all and the rights and freedoms of the people are the rights and freedoms of God. 4) Environmentalism is sacred. Nature is also God and man must respect nature and protect it from harm. 5) Political Corruption - Corrupt politicians are criminals; conmen who have abused the trust of the electorate; traitors to their nation and to democracy and they should be treated as criminals. God is in the people who elect politicians to represent them and those who betray the people are betraying God. 6) Incarceration of corrupt politicians - Let all who stand for election know that if they try to con the people they will be incarcerated. This should not be viewed as an act of public vengeance but as a form of compensation - the politician who cheats the public, has taken from them without giving back. They owe the public, they must pay off their debt, redeem themselves and earn their trust again. Prison is a place for them to reflect upon what they have done and reconnect with God.

GOVERNMENT B 7) Rewards for whistleblowers- There must be an incentive for all those who work in government to report corruption whenever they encounter it, a monetary reward aswell as the praise and approval of the people. 8) Lobby groups are undemocratic- In a true democracy every voice should be heard, not just those people or groups who have wealth, power and influence. If a cause is genuinely good then it should not require a lobby group to gain government support. If a cause is bad then no politician should allow themselves to be bribed or pressurized into supporting it. 9) Democracy is not a football match - It is not about winning and losing but about doing what is best for the people. Political tribalism and rivalry must never get in the way of serving the people.
