Exposing the dark truth: Communism, Satan, and government power
The government has one biblical purpose: to protect the innocent and punish evil. But America’s leaders have abandoned this duty, as many have done in the past.
And Dr. Frank Turek points out to BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey that instead of protecting the people from evil, corrupt governments often wield evil.
“It’s interesting, Allie. Our mutual friend James Lindsay is an agnostic atheist, and about a year before Charlie died, he texted Charlie and he said, ‘Charlie, I’m starting to believe in Satan,’” Turek tells Stuckey.
Turek recalled Lindsay explaining that this happened when he dove into the history of communism.
“And so Charlie texted him back, ‘If Satan, then God,’ and James texted back, ‘That would follow,’” he says.
“In other words, it’s the point that if there’s evil, there has to be good because evil is not a thing in itself. It’s a lack in a good thing. It’s like cancer,” he continues.
And in order to prevent evil from rapidly spreading and hurting them, people trust the government to help stop it.
“We need a force to protect innocent people from evil and to punish wrongdoers,” he says. “And when governments cease to do that, they cease to become legitimate governments.”
