If people are immoral enough to ignore the law than no law will restrain them regardless of the law or the form of government. It is not unique to our republic.
If, as people here have claimed, our constitutional republic is the form of government inspired by word of God I would expect more Christians to understand the basic principles of constitution but an unfortunate amount don't. In fact I know people very knowledgeable concerning the bible that really don't grasp why we need a separation between church and state.
I disagree that the abondonment of the constitution is what destroyed out country most.
I say the abondonment of God’s laws concerning morality is what did it.
My reasoning is this: If all Americans were to adhere to the Constitution right now, we’d still be in a huge mess. Why? There’s nothing unconstitutional about the press having an agenda in their reporting. There is nothing unconstitutional about teachers having an agenda. There is nothing unconstitutional about Social Security or welfare or any number of laws and actions that are hurting our country.
So that is why I disagree. The fundamental problem with our country is that we have lost our understanding of right and wrong. We think of self and not the greater good.
I agree with the substance of your post I’m replying to though. And as a God fearing person, I also agree that there is a need for seperation of church and state. I hope to some day live in God’s kingdom, but that is something man cannot bring about.
