Why does the Polish right win “God”?

Why does the Polish right win “God”?
Because he preaches specified a religion that suits many people.

The religion of the Polish right hand chooses from the Bible mainly passages about the punishment, condemnation and wrath of God. specified religion provides a convenient tool: it allows you to justice others — and to do so in God’s name. And man is most easy doing evil erstwhile he believes that he is doing it for the greater good, by God’s command. Then the conscience, if inactive working, remains clean.

There is no request to return to the dark ages or to the slogans of the Wehrmacht belt buckle to see the mechanics of justifying evil in action. present the “will of God” serves as a screen for:
• envy and hatred,
• nationalism and chauvinism,
• racism and anti-Semitism,
• misogyny and homophobia.

All this becomes acceptable if you dress up in “defence of Christian values”.

Temple as a Political Meeting

The right hand understood that the Church — as an institution and as a building — gives something that the net will not give: a sense of community power. Consent to political rallies in temples creates an illusion that God is simply a associate of a peculiar party. Seeing the crowd think the same way, the faithful are confirmed: “God directs us, so we're right.It’s okay. ”
It removes the burden of work for its own hatred from the unit.

What does the Gospel say?

The Gospel says something much more difficult: God is love and that we are to love our neighbor. And that's challenging.
Love doesn't give you a sense of superiority.
Love does not let contempt.
Love builds not a community against someone, but with someone.

How do you live with that?

Such a religion is uncomfortable. It doesn't suit them. The image of God becomes a problem. What do you mean, love? The love of neighbour for modern, standard voters can be dangerous. And even if not dangerous, it's boring. Love, smile, kindness don't give you adrenaline. And they request it.

God’s Word Censorship

The selective censorship of the Bible has helped right -wing politicians and their constituents. With 1 ear they enter passages about mercy, the another release them, keeping only the "sword" and "separation of grain from chaff".
They quote the Bible for their own use.

The Bible is tailored to its own needs — random, harsh, and, worst of all, completely deprived of GodWho is love.

And it is precisely on this selective religion that politicians of the Law and Justice, Confederation or Braun's environment are building their communicative today.
