Analogies are easy. For instance, “A living body infected with parasites that are allowed to grow and increase uncontrollably will weaken and die.” is a fact. Many take this truth and apply it to a political conclusion: “Our political body is so infected with parasites that it is weakening. If the parasites are not eliminated, our nation will collapse.”
Sincere Christians and Jews are most worried about hordes of Mohammedans coming into Western nations and destroying their formerly Judeo-Christian cultures. They often fall into the “Tapeworm Trap”, concluding that something like deportation needs to be implemented.
In actual fact, nations that have grown so sophisticated and uncaring that they allow millions of babies to be aborted and do nothing to keep sin from running rampant are neither Judeo nor Christian. As a result of slaughtering so many innocents, the scourge of God is falling on us. We are powerless to stop it. We have no defense as long as His Face stays turned away from us.
If we reform and beg His forgiveness, His scourge will be stayed. His anger will be abated. Decency will return. When we realize that the morals of our elected officials reflect our own beliefs, we know we won’t be asking for, and receiving, His mercy until things get so much, much worse that more are driven to beg Him for relief.
