The cognitive dissonance, it hurts

Exactly how do Christianity and democratic principles go together?

Christianity: Here are some rules passed down from On High. Follow them or die.

Democracy: Decide the rules amongst yourselves, after discussion, debate and voting.

Am I missing something?

I'm pretty sure you're missing something about buying votes in the democracy model.

Silly rabbit! Buying votes is neither Christian nor democratic!
