day no. 17,461: all religions are not equal, just ask any religion

"One of the downsides of our failure to recognize that secularism functions as a religion is that as a consequence we fail to recognize that secularism as a system gives birth to certain values that are in fact religious values. One such value would be the urge to flatten, the impulse that we call egalitarianism. This is the idea that we must make everything equal. This is a fruit that is consistent with the nature of this tree. But there are other values that are not native to secularism, but which they like to use in times of transition, claiming them as their own. An example of this would be the value of religious liberty. This is a fruit that is not consistent with the basic nature of secularism . . . it is an orange tied onto an apple tree." — Douglas Wilson, Religious Liberty Is a Religious Value

Secularism is a religion and egalitarianism is a religious value. It is a not a Christian value and it does not spring forth from the living waters of the Lord. Religious liberty is a Christian value. Religious liberty is not religious egalitarianism where all religions are considered equal. That is not possible. All religions do not consider all religions equal so any attempt to flatten them all into a uniform shape is to rob all of them of their edges. The idea that all men are created equal is a Christian value. It acknowledges that all image bearers bear the image of God. This does not mean that all are of the same value. Some are taller, some are shorter, some are smarter, some are dumber, some are darker, some are lighter, some are men, and some are women. A tall, blonde, white women does not bear the image of God more than a short, brown-haired black man. They are both equally image bearers, but they have different values. Democracy is the secularist idea that everyone's opinions are equal which only goes to show how stupid some people's opinions can be.

"The president of Turkey, Erdogan, once said that democracy was like a street car. You ride it until you get where you want to go, and then you get off." — Douglas Wilson, Religious Liberty Is a Religious Value

Democracy is an idea that caters to the lowest common denominator. It promotes the crude to the middle class and graduates the gross to higher education. In short, it is a tool the power hungry use to give credibility to the lower classes of human kind in order to gain their votes. And once they have the power, they remove the ability to vote it away.
