Hugo: “Constitutional Republic”與“Tripartite Separation of Powers”的信念基礎

在孔子學院裡,傳出來了學生在課堂裡對“人之初,性本善”與“君君,臣臣,父父,子子”等經文的朗讀聲音,A對B說,“如果‘人之初,性本善’與‘君君,臣臣,父父,子子’是真理,那麼只要有聖王(聖人當王)就好了,你還需要啥‘Constitutional Republic’?”;B對A說,“如果‘人之初,性本善’與‘君君,臣臣,父父,子子’是真理,那麼只要有‘包青天’就好了,你還需要啥‘Tripartite Separation of Powers(Separation of executive, legislative, and judicial powers)’?”

學院外,螢火蟲說,“經上說,‘That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned—. For until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not charged against anyone when there is no law. Nevertheless, death ruled as king from Adam down to Moses, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression by Adam, who bears a resemblance to him that was to come.’(Rom 5:12-14)與‘All this I have seen, and there was an applying of my heart to every work that has been done under the sun, [during] the time that man has dominated man to his injury.’(Ecc 8:9),如果你不接受‘For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard’(Rom 3:23; Rom 5:12; 1 Cor 15:22; Ps 51:5; Mat 7:17)與‘All men are created equal, All Human Beings Are Created in the Image of God(Gen 1:26)’,那麼你如何能真心地認同‘Constitutional Republic’與‘Tripartite Separation of Powers’?那麼你如何能完全地擺脫‘崇尚聖人、領袖、等級、家長制、權力(特權)、官民意識、王道、仁政、德治、禮教、好官(清官)、嚴刑峻法、大一統’等專制文化呢?”
