MSNBC host shocked and offended that many Americans believe our laws should be based on Christian values
American Thinker ^ | 6-30-24 | Eric Utter

Posted on 06/30/2024 3:17:32 PM PDT by DeweyCA

The singular difference between the United States and all the nations that had gone before was its open, explicit recognition of natural rights, the idea that all humans are created equal and granted unalienable rights by their Creator. And that, therefore, governments can’t arbitrarily and capriciously take those rights away, as has happened in virtually all monarchical and totalitarian governments throughout history. If that is the “godliness” that so disturbs the MSNBC talking head, so be it.

The founders did not intend for the United States to be an overtly Christian nation, in terms of an official, government sanctioned religion. Nor did they wish it to be a “theocratic state.” That said, they did found the nation on certain Christian moral truths. And they did believe that the law of God should form the basis of good—and legitimate-- human laws.

Make no mistake: those who proclaim their “progressiveness”-- and who disdain “godliness”—are actually regressive…and looking to take those rights away from us.

“What’s wrong with worshipping Beelzebub and Baal? Huh? You got a problem with my religion? Such intolerance.”

I also believe that our media should reflect American ( not globalist) values.

... and media licensing should reflect that

Don’t you love how atheists are always telling Christians what God is saying.

well, gee, weren’t they that when first written?
i see no real reason for changing them due to the word ‘christian’ being employed.
everybody in the nation, whatever they believe, have accepted the Abrahamic basis, and lawyers operate within that envelope, comfortably.

Judeo-Christian values are more durable than those promoted by others who wear their values like garments. They are garments that go out of style and must be replaced by marketers who have decided there is nothing God has to offer that they might profit in.

Once under sharia law there is no turning back. Children are brainwashed, families don’t eat unless they attend the mosque, just a few items that the imams dictate.

It would be responsible to name the imbecile, however, just throw a dart and anyone it hits could be the culprit. Only morons and communists listen or watch MSNBC.

Noah Webster explained it two centuries ago:

The duties of men are summarily comprised in the Ten Commandments, consisting of two tables; one comprehending the duties which we owe immediately to God-the other, the duties we owe to our fellow men.
Noah Webster, The 'History of the United States (New Haven: Durrie and Peck, 1832), pp. 336-337, 49]

---------------

Commandments 6 to 10 define crime - murder, breach of contract, theft, perjury, fraud, and conspiracy.

Nowhere in the Constitution was the general government given the authority to do so.

Well sweetheart, you just remain “shocked and offended” and America will press on to return to our core founding Christian values.

“Comcast hates you!”

They do. I had to sic our TN AG on them for issues with internet service. I won. At the time, that was the only provider in the area; otherwise, we would not have them.

Castrating children definitely goes against pre-2000 liberal secular values.

But I suppose that was just inertia?
