Very good points. Our country has become very libertarian, both liberals and conservatives feel that anyone should be able to believe whatever they want.
The problem is that has created a generation that believes in nothing. A civilization can’t survive that.
“both liberals and conservatives feel that anyone should be able to believe whatever they want.”
Well, why wouldn’t they both feel that? After all, that’s the only state of affairs that has ever existed on this planet. Man is always, and always will be, free to believe whatever he wants. Your mind, and your beliefs, are the one sovereign territory of the individual that no state can ever claim.
