Systematically remove the influence and teachings of the living God from a people, and democracy will not work in that society. People will sell recreational drugs to people to make money with no concern about what this does to persons, to families, or to society. People use people for selfish, sexual gratification with no concern about what it does to the persons, to families, or to society. People in their greed to exploit people for the love of money with no concern about what happens to the persons, to families or to society. People make victims out of people through crimes of every kind with no concern about what it does to persons, to families, or to society.
Democracy works only in societies where responsible people of integrity value people.
Democracy cannot work in societies where irresponsible people exploit others to achieve their own selfish objectives. Remove God from society, and you destroy society's ability to be a successful democracy. Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
