Then, instead of godly work as the means to dominion, coercion takes its place. Coercion leads to a repression of freedom and responsibility, and finally to death. Hence we must call statism the politics of death. The Bible requires, for offenses against certain aspects of God's justice, the penalty of death. The humanistic state requires the death penalty, not for violations of God's justice, but the state's laws.
Death then becomes the final solution to problems, the first step being statist coercion.
This, however, is increasingly the solution to all problems confronting the modern state. In some form or other, coercion and repression are the solution, or, finally, death. Death in the humanistic society replaces work as the means of dominion and government. Not surprisingly, the most repressive societies have problems producing food and material goods. A repressive and death oriented society is not productive.
