When it comes to morality, what is the point if you don't have God in your life? Society doesn't care, in fact it encourages Immoral behavior.

I'm just egging on the notion that morals decend from God. Not from Conservatives, not from liberals, not from independents, not from the Constitution.

I tend to think that good and evil, right and wrong transcend God. If God were a cruel tyrant who tortured His creations for amusement, that wouldn't make being a cruel tyrant who tortures your creations good. That God could choose to be a cruel tyrant or a loving Father suggests to me that being good or evil transcends God and that, perhaps, the choice between being good or evil is the way in which man was created in God's image.

Again, I am not trying to buy a stairway to heaven by doing the right thing. I do the right thing because it is the right thing to do, not because I might get rewarded. You don't lie, you don't cheat, you don't steal, you don't kill; those are just basic tenants of being a good human being. My moral core is just who I am, and I could not care less what "society" thinks about it. If this country is successfully violated and becomes one big California, I will take my children and my husband and go somewhere else.

We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.

John Adams (1735 - 1826)

I believe they come from the parents. Especially the mother. Just my 2 cents (can't find that dam sign on the keyboard)
