Re: Your Views on a world Government
You know a unified government is actually listed in Revalations as one of the steps in the end of the world? Revelations 13:7: (emphasis added) (NIV) "He was given power to make war against the saints and conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation."
Skipping the Apocoliptic prophecy, however, there is a very practical reason why I don't like the idea of a world-wide government: If the government decideds to do something evil, what you gonna do about it? With a zillion countries, it's at least possible (if not always easy nor safe, such as in the case of the Berlin wall in Germany for a time) - to "vote with your feet" and go to another country. That doesn't work with only one country.
