We have known since Aristotle what constitutes “virtue” and with Christianity we added the three theological virtues which made the West’s “Justice” System the best in the history of mankind. There is no possibility of a better, more equal, more perfect “justice” system than the Founders gave us based on the Christian concepts of the Nature of Man and God’s Laws.
That being said, the nature of man is evil—a proven fact, just as the Bible says—and without virtue formation in childhood (even with it) man will be evil——especially if the culture (”justice” system) becomes a vice system and promotes vice and evil, degrading behaviors which strip dignity and humanity from people.
With abortion (baby-killing), we train little girls that it is “good” to kill your own genetic offspring: this destroys their virtue formation and maternal instincts—warps whole perception of “life” and destroys the Christian worldview completely. We even now teach little children that two males (or more) sodomizing one another is “Good” and is “Love” when it is an abomination, dehumanizing and degrading, meaningless behavior. It completely destroys the possibility of a Christian worldview (virtue) and the ability to understand “life” and character, etc.
Without virtue, there is no freedom (possibility of inner control of base emotions). Vice is slavery and addiction to outside forces-—you will always be tempted to do evil and you can’t resist it.
Since 1970, our culture became a Vice System—one which destroys virtue formation in children (on purpose), so when most people will do the easy thing to make a living, and get ahead-—it will become the norm and collapse the system eventually.
We are in decline and will collapse if we do not turn back to God (virtue). Without God, there is no Good and Evil; everything is permissible. The Postmodernist Marxists knew that and that is why they banned Christianity by the 60s in the US—before in Europe—so they could collapse Western Civilization.
We need to reclaim our true “Justice” System to get virtuous people (put treasonous justices and lawyers in prison)....otherwise, it will corrupt all the children and destroy virtue formation (the Christian worldview). The Age of Reason and Modern Science and creation of the US Constitution was only possible with a Christian worldview.

That makes the antics at the AFA even more ironically egregious.
Back in the 60's, I remember the AFA Chapel used to be a landmark that represented something.
Today - it represents the little more than the syncretic worship of technology.
Shouldn't be surprising the south gate of the AFA is within spitting distance of the mega "church" farce concocted by...

All in the back yard of "conservative" Colorado Springs - where Focus on the Family's primary accomplishment appears to have been propping up the facade that the occupant of the White Hut was a Christian.. in between family visits to Bohemian Grove.
Odd how none of the parties above seemed to be aware of the thinking and intent of Jefferson and Co.:
"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;...that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

Yep.

Thank you. Truth no one wants to hear. Still true, though.
