I never said that God’s cannot be legislated away but you cannot legislate morality. Morality is born of the heart and the spirit. If you want to change the laws of the land to moral ones you must first change the hearts of men. You just cannot simply make a law and expect immoral people to follow it. You must change them and then the laws will follow. The change must first take place in the home and in the churches, not the national legislature. You change in the home and the church and then Godly men will be elected and things will change.

You cannot force your morality on someone just because you’re a a majority. For the day will come when you’re not a majority and then you’ve set the standard to have someone else’s morality forced on you.

The day has come, only it is the minorities and the special interests who are using the courts to force their agenda on the majority, and especially on children. The homosexuals, feminists and atheists are having a field day with the force of law against all believers. Where have you been?

Thankfully, our Founders based their ideas for laws on the Bible and didn't take your advice.

The LAW defines what is right and wrong in a society. And, the stronger the law, the more the deterrent.

What are you talking about?

All laws are legislated morality!

I had a $100 check written to the Thompson campaign until I found out he supported CFR.

The check is in the shredder now.
