unless I'm greatly mistaken about the WCF and WLC also "hired"? We "hire government"?

"Government serves. It does not lead. It does not educate. It does not correct. It executes the will of the people who hired it, and if the people decide they want something different, the government changes — not the people." NOT a presbyterian view of the Civil Magistrate

if kings are nursing fathers shouldn't they correct the citizens?

𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗬'𝗦 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗔𝗜𝗗 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗠𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗪𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗢𝗢 𝗖𝗢𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗟𝗬 𝗧𝗢 𝗔𝗗𝗠𝗜𝗧. Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy, in her own words: 𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. 𝗪𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿, 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿, 𝘄𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆. 𝗪𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. Read that again. Then look at what is happening across the rest of Western Europe — governments that banned cheap energy before they had replacements ready, opened borders without asking their citizens, prosecuted people for social media posts, silenced medical debate, and called anyone who objected to any of it a threat to democracy. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀. The globalist elite model of governance is built on a specific assumption: that ordinary people make the wrong choices when left to themselves — the wrong votes, the wrong values, the wrong priorities — and that enlightened leadership exists to guide them toward better ones. Your job is not to govern according to what people want. Your job is to govern according to what people should want, and then manage their objections until they come around. Meloni rejects that assumption at the root. Government serves. It does not lead. It does not educate. It does not correct. It executes the will of the people who hired it, and if the people decide they want something different, the government changes — not the people. This is not a radical idea. It used to be called democracy. Somewhere along the way the people running Western institutions stopped believing in it and started believing in themselves instead. Meloni is one of the very few leaders in Europe willing to name what is happening and push back against it directly. The EU bureaucracy has not forgiven her for it. Her voters have rewarded her for it. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁.

I sat in to watch a Dem focus group with female swing voters (all moms). The difficulty of any Dem message getting to people who distrust The News and rely on social media was stark - two 2024 Harris voters got their news from Candace Owens! semafor.com/article/03/26/…

@Loyal2tGo17 @suzania That would theoretically be acceptable, but it's as vanishingly rare as consulting a thesaurus without abusing it.

@Loyal2tGo17 i mean in principle if we found, like, Goliath's petrous bone, we could sequence his DNA, identify the genes causing gigantism, and in theory you could then modify a modern human to carry those genes. but "should you" is a whole other question.

Canonically, the demon population is fixed, and as human population rises, the demons/people ratio falls. Since demons are also canonically finite beings, this suggests higher population strains the tempting efforts of demons.
Aella@Aella_Girl

in christianity, do new demons get created? As the human population has exploded, presumably the human-to-demon ratio is now skewed. Or did god make extra demons with population growth in mind? If so could we estimate our future population based on total demon numbers today?
