Indeed, happy thanksgiving to everybody.
Isn’t it a good thing we’ve progressed so far above this level of ignorance? Now we’re blessed with decimated families, overcrowded prisons, depraved, violent sickness rotting our cities, our children killing us and each other and an astronomical mountain of crippling socialist debt. We’ve come a long way baby from those loathsome times of the restrictive morality of the “religious right”. How tragic it would be to give up all this freedom now and go back to that.[/quote]
What the politically correct, atheists leftists don’t understand is that the further we push God away the more we need tougher laws and big government to fill the void. We are going through that metamorphosis right now.
For example,
When most children followed their parents (two parents married to each other yeah) to church they didn’t usually go out that night and impregnate their girlfriends. Now it’s all okay because that pregnant girlfriend can collect government aid. This is only one example the list is endless. As I said when we remove God we have to replace him with government. And the end game is going to look really bad as this will not work long-term.

Ah, yes. As we all know, without the impending threat of eternal hell fire—or the revelation that there is a creator who disapproves of murder, theft and irresponsible sexual activity—ad hoc man made laws are required to keep our depravity in check. It’s inconceivable that without the Bible people could understand that some actions ought not be done, or that there are consequences to one’s actions. Surely it’s because they have not been schooled in the Bible that teenagers engage in irresponsible promiscuity.

Without a strong moral base it’s obvious to see what is happening not just here in America but around the world. Our moral standards have been driven lower each decade. You can claim that it’s not the fact that more people have turned from God, but then you’d have to tell me why it is as it is. SO…I’m waiting. [/quote]
That is just nonsense, how far do you wanna go back, witch burnings, the KKK or hillybillies impregnating their sisters?
Cross burnings, Jim Crow laws, slavery, gay bashing, war in the Phillipines, prohibition, shotgun weddings, genocide, my, my, my, the good ole days.
