RENAISSANCE DECEMBER 2020

Faith & Beliefs 46 Monthly Renaissance December 2020 political institutions of the 17 th and 18 th centuries came into existence in which religion was a personal matter. Instead of control of priests and elites, control of common people and parliament came into existence. It becomes clear from this detail that Christians were never provided the blessing to worship God solely. Paul involved them in worship of Jesus (sws), Mary (rta), the Holy Spirit and evil forces and opened up the door to the polytheistic beliefs of the Roman catholic church. Luther’s reforms removed the church from collective life and gave control to people, members of the parliament, kings and presidents and thus different rulers of public life were created. When the weakness of democracies was demonstrated by World War I, dictatorship was installed in some European countries. The difference between dictatorship and democracy is one of numbers of the rulers. Many deities make the law and act as gods in democracy; in dictatorship, only one deity does so with help from his supporters. USSR The USSR is managed through communism, which is the last step of democracy. Democracy had connected religion and God with private life; communism has cut off this connection too and installed the rule of humans over all sectors of human life. Instead of the trinity of Christianity, it possesses the trinity of Marx, Lenin and Stalin. The beliefs, moral behaviour and economic systems which this fundamental trio has designed is the religion of the USSR. ( Translated by Nikhat Sattar ) ـــــــــــــــــــــــــ
