Democracy can be worst, without understanding what it entails. Engaging in the business of changing leaders, hoping for the best, leads to apathy and hopelessness. The starting point is appreciating one’s own purpose in life. The Bible, categorically, states that humans were created in God’s image—meaning that nothing is unachievable by humans.
It is the slavery mentality that causes people to assume that worshiping other people is a sign of humility. There is no need to worship other humans, in this world. We were all created with different talents and abilities. But that does not mean that others should be regarded as more important than others. The idea of idolizing other humans was abolished by Jesus:
“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted” (Matthew 23:8-12) (NIV).
