“Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled by a power within them or by a power without them; either by the Word of God or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible or by the bayonet.” (1) Robert Winthrop, Speaker of the House of Representatives, 1847-1849

“Liberty regards religion as its companion in all its battles and its triumphs, - as the
cradle of its infancy, and the divine source of its claims. It considers religion as the
safeguard of morality, and morality as the best security of law, and the surest pledge of the duration of freedom....”(2) Alexis De Tocqueville

---------------------------------------------

Morality is the basis for all law in a civilized society.  But in the US, the Judeo-Christian values this country was founded on are being systematically dismantled. Right and wrong have become blurred and for some - meaningless.

Liberals are the leaders in radicalizing our society.  Liberals treat Christianity like it is a disease to be destroyed, when in fact Christianity was the foundation for the rule of law that worked very well for 200 years and resulted in so much social progress.

Unless morality is based on a higher authority than man, you do not have morality, merely public opinion, which can be manipulated over time by a skillful, charismatic politician.

Evolution is a theory that is indefensible. (See Creation-Evolution) Reason tells us there has to be a Supreme Being who created everything that exists and it is logical that this God would want to reveal Himself to us - which He did in the Bible.  The evidence is overwhelming that Christianity is the one true religion (See “Christianity” section).  All other religions, such as Muslim, Buddhism, etc., are man made religions.  While everyone in our pluralistic society must and does have the right to any or no religion, to say that all beliefs are “true”  is absurd.  You cannot base morality and law on multiple “truths.”  You either have one truth or nothing is true. Any nation which bases its law on the logic of man will eventually legalize all kinds of perversions over time and ultimately destroy itself with lawlessness and perversions.

Abraham Lincoln once said that if it wasn’t for the Bible, he wouldn’t know right from wrong.  Morality is NOT an issue of education.  Education does NOT make us moral, it makes us knowledgeable.  For instance, Germany in the 1930’s was probably the most highly educated society in the world but only a small percentage of Germans attended church.  Most Germans considered Christianity outdated in their age of intellectual enlightenment.  With morality dead in Germany, people blindly followed Adolf Hitler and plunged Europe into a world war while committing unspeakable crimes against humanity.

“Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People in a greater Measure than they have it now, They may change their Rulers and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty. They will only exchange Tyrants and Tyrannies.”(3)
John Adams

No society can function peacefully in a moral vacuum.  If you abolish Christian ethics, you have effectively outlawed morality and a civil society.  In an Atheistic / Humanistic / Secular society you have only the “enlightenment” and reason of man to determine right and wrong. Ten years ago, gays rights groups were on the fringe of society.  Today they are mainstream. Today, pedophilia is on the fringe of society - but will it be mainstream in 20 years between consenting people??  Moral relativism will eventually allow anything.   There are no examples of an atheistic society maintaining a civil and moral society on its own.  The reason is because any time society outlaws Judeo-Christian ethics in favor of man’s “enlightened” perceptions of right and wrong, society always degenerates into a downward spiral where more and more abhorrent behavior becomes “normal.”

Public schools exist in a moral vacuum.  You can give out condoms in school and teach witchcraft, but the 10 commandments provokes outrage.  When kids go around killing other kids in school, we ignore the obvious cause and solution.

The greatest fear of the Founding Fathers is coming to pass in America.  Look at what is happening to our society as we abolish Christian morality:  The need for more police and security guards, more prisons, more surveillance cameras, we have more pedophiles and we need to lock everything. We have fraud in the business community, politics, etc. Morality DOESmatter.

The Democratic Party has spent the past 30 years attempting to establish Atheism (actually Humanism) as the de facto state religion of America.  When liberals talk about freedom FROM religion, what they are really saying is they want to abolish Christian morality and they don’t want Christians to have free speech in a public forum.

Freedom FROM religion is really a sneak attack by the leftists on freedom of speech and freedom of religious expression.  When you begin to abolish freedom of speech because someone is “offended”, you have in reality abolished freedom of speech since everyone is offended by something.  These evil leftists are out to abolish the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States.  Although they say they believe in free speech, what leftists REALLY mean is you can say anything you want - as long as you agree with them.

The true face of ‘political correctness’ is loss of freedom.   If you think this is an exaggeration, consider the following: Go to a liberal College and say things your liberal professor doesn’t like. Look at the attacks on people who want to display Christian symbols or patriotic symbols in schools and other public places.  Accuse a black of racism (a lot of blacks ARE racists). Disagree with a black on a racial policy.  Come out against illegal immigration. Try and get a public school to teach Creationism along with evolution. Say you believe Islam is a false religion.  Say Christianity is the true religion of God.  You’ll quickly see the evil face of the New America liberals want to create.
