Remember, Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a Democracy Yet, that did not commit suicide." This searing 1814 assessment by John Adams underscores the founders’ prevailing view. They were not championing government by the people in its purest form, but rather designing a system that would contain and tame the "turbulent and changing" passions of the populace. Their reliance on mechanisms like the Electoral College and the original design of the Senate ensured that power remained in the hands of enlightened, filtered representatives, effectively shielding the young Republic from the very instability and factionalism they witnessed in ancient history and the chaos of Shays' Rebellion.

On page 367, Brown's definition of marriage clearly outlines a structure and purpose that many modern Protestants and Christians, it is argued, have either overlooked or been encouraged to disregard by dominant secular and progressive viewpoints... In contemporary Christian culture, the primary purpose of marriage is often emphasized as companionship, emotional fulfillment, and mutual support (Brown’s 'mutual comfort'). This is frequently portrayed as the highest good, echoing modern Western culture's emphasis on individual happiness and self-actualization. When mutual comfort becomes the sole or overwhelmingly primary purpose, the complementary goals of procreation and the spiritual edification of children recede in importance. The success of secular and feminist narratives in redefining marriage lies, in part, in their ability to isolate and critique the traditional model's perceived negative aspects while simultaneously promoting a replacement model that aligns perfectly with the modern cultural obsession with individual autonomy and emotional satisfaction.

Across the historic cities of Bethlehem, Nazareth, Haifa, and Jaffa, centuries-old Christian communities have seen their populations collapse—from majorities or substantial minorities to small, struggling enclaves. While supporters of Christian Zionism cite prophecy and regional security, critics argue that financial and political backing of a secular state has exacerbated displacement, restricted movement, and undermined indigenous Christian life in the Holy Land.

While six million Jewish deaths are widely cited, the full scale of Nazi atrocities extended far beyond, affecting Polish civilians, Soviet POWs, Roma and Sinti populations, T-4 victims, and other marginalized groups. This article examines the evidence, gaps in documentation, and the overlooked stories that could increase estimates of non-Jewish victims, revealing a more complete picture of Holocaust-era suffering.
