Lewis explained why demons \u2064also love \u200d\u201cdemocracy\u201d and why Christians must resist its spell.<\/p>\n<p>In 1959, Lewis published a short satirical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saturdayeveningpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/satevepost\/screwtape-proposes-a-toast-SEP.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">piece<\/a> \u200d entitled, \u201cScrewtape Proposes a Toast,\u201d wherein an imaginary\u2062 demon named Screwtape spoke to fresh graduates at \u2062the annual \u2063dinner\u200c of the Tempters\u2019 \u2064Training\u200c College in hell.<\/p>\n<p>By the late \u20641950s, Lewis\u2019 Screwtape\u200c already had an established \u2062epistolary history. Indeed, the author had\u200c introduced \u2064his literary\u200c demon in 1942\u2019s \u201cThe Screwtape Letters,\u201d an imagined correspondence between Screwtape, \u2064an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/one-year-later-how-the-death-of-george-floyd-changed-5-american-institutions\/\" title=\"One Year Later: How The Death Of George Floyd Changed 5 American Institutions\u00a0\">experienced demon<\/a> who held an\u2063 administrative position in\u200c hell, and his nephew Wormwood, an inexperienced tempter assigned the task of capturing a young\u200d Englishman\u2019s soul.<\/p>\n<p>Thus,\u2064 a\u2064 1959 audience could recognize Screwtape as a dispenser of demonic advice. His \u2063goal: instruct young demon tempters in how best to turn humans away \u200dfrom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/canadian-military-chaplains-directed-not-to-invoke-god-in-public-prayer-except-on-remembrance-day-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">God<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>\u201cDemocracy\u201d is the \u200cword with which you must\u200c lead them by the nose<\/h3>\n<p>To effect this, the demon added, \u201cthey should never be allowed to \u200dgive this word a clear and definable \u2062meaning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, \u201cYou are to use the word purely as an incantation; if you like, purely \u200dfor its selling power.

U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, for instance, piously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/milestone-documents\/address-to-congress-declaration-of-war-against-germany\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">declared<\/a> that \u201cThe world must be made safe\u200b for democracy.\u201d Wilson then sent young Americans\u200c to die in World War I, which neither safeguarded nor\u2062 expanded democracy.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge to faith,\u200c moreover, stems from our failure to recognize democracy as simply a system of voting based on \u200dpolitical equality. When we imagine it\u200b as anything\u2064 more than this, \u200cit becomes \u2063an improper object of worship.<\/p>\n<p>Worse yet, demons know how to turn\u200b our unchecked democratic attitudes toward hellish sins like dishonesty, envy and resentment.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, democracy\u2019s \u200bgreat usefulness, according to Screwtape, \u200clay in \u2063its\u2063 ability to make one human say \u2064to another, \u201cI\u2019m as good as you.\u201d This serves hell\u2019s \u2063purpose nearly as well as all the world\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-priest-extradited-allegedly-brutal-dictatorship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dictatorships<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>\u201cThe first \u200dand most obvious advantage\u201d in teaching a\u200d man to say \u201cI\u2019m as good as you,\u201d Screwtape\u2062 told the young tempters, \u201cis that you thus induce him\u2063 to enthrone at the center\u2062 of his life a \u2063good, solid, resounding lie.\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI \u2062mean that \u200bhe does not believe it himself,\u201d the senior demon added. \u201cNo man \u2064who says\u200b \u2018I\u2019m as good\u200d as \u200byou\u2019 believes \u2064it. The St. Bernard never \u2063says it\u200b to the toy dog, nor the scholar to the dunce,\u200d nor the employable to the bum, nor the pretty woman to the plain.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Thus, full-throated claims to equality, rooted in lies,\u200d reflect consciousness of actual inferiority \u200cin any given sense. Hell\u200d finds this exceedingly useful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat it expresses,\u201d Screwtape \u2064told the \u200bgraduates, \u201cis precisely the itching, smarting, writhing awareness of an inferiority which the patient refuses to accept. And therefore resents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Again, this means inferiority\u200d in a given sense only, \u2063not in the political sense of second-class citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, no woman ever claims to be every bit as much \u2062a woman as the next man. A man\u200d who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trans-cyclist-defeats-women-race-reportedly-didnt-place-racing-men\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">falsely<\/a> declares himself a woman,\u2063 on the other hand, does\u2064 so in the hellish spirit of \u201cI\u2019m as good as you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed,\u2062 Screwtape could barely conceal his glee at democracy\u2019s power to destroy everything good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I want to fix your attention on is \u200bthe vast, over-all movement toward the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind \u2062of human excellence \u2014 moral, cultural, social or intellectual,\u201d he told the young demons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd\u200b is it not pretty to\u2062 notice how democracy \u2014 in\u200d the incantatory sense \u2014 is now doing for us the work that\u2064 was \u200conce done by the most ancient dictatorships, and by the same methods?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lewis,\u2064 of course, carefully distinguished \u200cbetween healthy\u200c political \u200cequality and the \u201cincantatory\u201d democracy that \u2064foments sinful dishonesty, envy and resentment.<\/p>\n<p>If modern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bold-lion-thousand-christians-march-nyc-reverent-hymns-echo-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christians<\/a> feel uneasy in this democratic world, Lewis\u2019 Screwtape reminds us that \u200cwe have good reason.<\/p>\n<p>After\u2062 all, we \u200ccherish free will and believe that the individual soul lives forever.<\/p>\n<p>The broader secular movements that have enthroned \u201cdemocracy,\u201d however, notwithstanding all the tangible benefits they have \u2064produced, carry the seeds of their own destruction\u200b \u2014 a fatal flaw that the democratic-minded seldom recognize in themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Screwtape called this flaw \u201ca \u200ddeep hatred of personal freedom.\u201d That means, of course, a deep hatred for the personal freedom of others.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, when impelled by dishonesty, envy and resentment, democratic people careen\u2063 toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-tucker-carlson-takes-aim-wannabe-dictator-joe-biden-latest-twitter-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">authoritarianism<\/a>. In fact,\u200b some race toward it without causing\u200b the least trouble to their consciences.<\/p>\n<p>In short, \u200cChristians have reason to value a humbly administered \u200bdemocracy as far superior to other political forms.<\/p>\n<p>We also must understand,\u200b however, why Screwtape loved democracy.<\/p>\n<p>When we do this \u2014 when we \u200bview democracy from Screwtape\u2019s perspective \u2014 the \u200bview should serve as an antidote. That way,\u2064 we can support political equality without venerating an undefined \u201cdemocracy\u201d and thus succumbing to its\u2064 temptations.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, we can then embrace free will and focus\u200b on \u200bour <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/liz-wheeler-on-the-marxist-subversion-of-american-education\/\" title=\"Liz Wheeler on Marxist Influence in US Education\">individual souls<\/a> by surrendering our lives to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/toby-keith-says-leans-faith-prayer-amid-cancer-battle-gods-riding-shotgun-little\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">God<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"author_subscription_pitch\">.author_subscription_pitch p{margin:5px;}<\/p>\n<p><em><b>A Note from Our Founder:<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every morning, we \u2062at The Western Journal wake up and pursue our mission of giving you the important information you\u200d need about what\u2019s happening in America.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate\/?hosted_button_id=BM6XAWRJ8NS7A&#038;utm_source=site&#038;utm_medium=westernjournalism&#038;utm_campaign=authorpitch\"><b>We can\u2019t do that without your\u200d help<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">America has been on the receiving end of\u2063 false narratives.

Lewis Believed Demons Love Democracy<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Why is there a widespread desire\u2063 to create an earthly paradise where no one has to obey orders<\/h2>\n<p><span>  An to the plain. The claim to equality, \u2063outside the strictly political \u200dfield, is made only by those who feel themselves to be in some way inferior. What it expresses is precisely the absence of a class aristocracy which, failing to satisfy envy, turns to democratic institutions. Theocracy and Monarchy, however \u2064excellent in themselves, are disproportionate to human \u2062nature; hence arises a widespread desire to bring into being\u200b an earthly paradise, where no one will have to obey another&#8217;s orders. This is the true origin of all the &#8220;movements&#8221; of today. Democracy is the word with which you \u200cmust lead them by the nose.\u200d The good philosopher, like the psychologist Stout, knows that a man\u200d may have \u200dto learn a \u200cdemocracy, as he\u2063 must learn a\u200b language. \u200cBut\u200d the process, though \u200cdemocracy has \ufefftremendous possibilities for\ufeff evil, is \ufeffnot very likely to\ufeff occur. Knowledge can beget humility only if it \ufeffcatches\ufeff \ufeffsomething\ufeff \ufeffelse,\ufeff too.\u2063 It is said that a\u200b man has accepted a set of beliefs if \u200dhe \u200bhas been converted of a reasonable one when there are \u200b\ufeffreasonable\ufeff alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>If then, we are to be \u2adedemocratic\ufeff\ufeff \u2064we must\ufeff\ufeff \ufeff\ufeff\ufeffstudy\ufeff \u2063\ufeff\ufeffa\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffnot\ufeff\ufeff the idea of democracy but democracy\u00a0\ufeffitself. Democracy\ufeff has been tested but \ufefff\ufeffailed \ufeff\ufeffbecause \ufeffexperience of its\u2064 working showed\u200b that mass \ufeffparticipation\ufeff in public affairs \ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffleads \ufeffto public\u200d stupidity. Even \ufeffdemocrats will sit\ufeff more \u2063like the Stagirite, \ufeff\ufeffwho\ufeff recognized\u200d that mankind are capable of\u2064 words and not of acts.<\/p>\n<p>The search for \ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffan \u2063ideal \u200dform of government\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff \ufeffmay\ufeff bring\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff us to other systems; but no system\u2064 will be any\u2064 good unless\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff \u07de\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffthe\ufeff\u2063 \ufeffwill\ufeff of \ufeffthese\ufeff \ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffdis\ufefflike of unlikes\ufeff\ufeff,\ufeff and\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff \u07de\ufeff\ufeffmore pitfalls. \ufeffPolitical\ufeff equality tends to show that\ufeff sta\ufeffte\ufeff\ufeff do we\ufeff hope to\ufeff\ufeff pick up the pieces without election\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffs every five years? \ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffThe value\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff =\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff \u200c \ufeffdemocracy.\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff \ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffMan\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffy advantages\ufeff \ufeffdemocracy\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff*\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff \ufeffbecome evident\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff. \ufeffThis \ufeffdemocracy\ufeff been\u200b \ufeff\ufefftested\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\u2062 but\ufeff\ufeff \ufeff\ufeffwith\ufeff\ufeff \ufeff\ufeffgentlemen. \ufeffIt\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff \ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffcannot\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff pay\ufeff to \ufeff\ufeff\ufeffmen test\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff!
