美國Democracy文化的基礎,是什麼呢?美國Democracy文化的基礎,就是敬畏God,就是信仰耶穌的福音與道德理念,就是遵守十誡,不是嗎?
由於敬畏God,所以敬畏God所賦予人的道德與良心;由於信仰耶穌的福音與道德理念,所以必須接受“love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind ”與“Love your neighbor as yourself、Love for enemies、Forgiveness、10 Commandments、Concerning Almsgiving、Giving to the needy、Being Salt and Light in the world、Preaching the good news of the kingdom、Healing every disease and sickness among the people、Carrying the Cross and following the Jesus、Drive out evil spirits、Repent、Original sin、All man are created equal、Christ came to fulfill the Law、Concerning Treasures in Heaven、Only the truth can set you free、Concerning Treasures in Heaven”等理念;由於遵守十誡,所以人不可以隨意貪腐與做壞事,這不就是美國Democracy文化的基礎嗎?
美國是由一群信仰耶穌的人所創建的國家;這個國家,代表耶穌福音之國,代表Love與Justice之國,代表Individualism與Liberalism之國,代表Democracy與Freedom之國,代表All man are created equal與Human rights之國,代表Human dignity與Human responsibility之國,代表Truth與Light之國,代表All power belongs to the people與Rule of Law之國,代表Happiness與Peace之國,不是嗎?
任何由不“敬畏God、信仰耶穌的福音與道德理念、遵守十誡”的人,所建立的Democracy國家,都將成為無窮貪腐、混亂與缺乏道德意識的Democracy國家,不是嗎?
