Majority Rule?

Post-modern thinkers tend to agree that majority rules. If the majority of the People agree on one direction or one idea, then that idea should be honored. It has been this way since Democracy was invented. For a free people, Democracy is the *end* when it should only be a *means to an end*.

The majority of Americans currently believe that it is one's right as an American citizen to own and bear arms - just as they interpret our Constitution's Second Amendment to mean. Suppose eventually, due to sufficient media influence and political pressures, the majority of Americans agree to amend the Second Amendment or to vote to ban personal firearms? You could argue that if it's majority rule, then, in a democracy, that ban should be upheld.

But what if the majority decides to vote on things of absolute moral value? Murder, for instance. What if, one day the majority votes that murder should be allowed (as did the ancient Romans in the form of gladiator battles and as modern-day theocracies do in the form of honor-killings and moral justice)?

Does the majority decide what is right and what is wrong?

Almighty God has already defined absolute truth and the definition of what is morally right and wrong. No amount of human reasoning and justification can reverse God's judgment. On matters of absolutes, majority does not rule. God rules.

Press on.
