The Founders all stated that freedom can not exist without virtue. Virtue was synonymous with “happiness” because the Founders all knew that if you are not virtuous you will not attain happiness. Our legal system was based on moral principles of God’s standard of right and wrong—it is where OUR rights come from—the Creator.
They want to play the game of economics and kick out the Creator, with no Universal/Absolute rules, which the Founders demanded. It is like trying to play a basketball game with everyone creating their own rules—moral relativism. It never works—we have to have one standard and our government was designed to have Supra Positive law—which is higher than Hitler-type law —that unequal political man-made-up law, based on no higher standards of right and wrong than Hitler’s or Marx.
Natural Law Theory (Locke, Blackstone) was the Constitution’s basic philosophy—throw out the laws of nature and God’s law and you destroy the meaning and intent of the document.
They want chaos if they do not accept God’s standard of right and wrong—Right Reason according to Nature (teleological design of God’s creation as understood by the Bible).
You get “homosexual marriage and abortion and ‘do whatever the urge’ no matter how dysfunctional and damaging to civil society and freedom of others—even if it destroys inalienable rights of babies and destroys freedom of conscience and religion. There is no God—then we have no Natural Rights because they come from God and nature’s design.-
When people remove God from the legal system, we will become like Nazi Germany and someone will fill the void of no God. Nuremberg trials said there are Supra Positive Laws that make Hitler’s null and void.
Yes—we saw how well that works in Germany and Russia and all of Africa—moral relativism where you can just make anyone God. Tyranny and Evil.
Well said. My thoughts exactly but I am just not as articulate.
I think the Tea Party is incomplete - for exactly the reasons you outlined.
