As you know, the answer is not to be found in the Republican party. Only a Religious awakening can save us.

I have a little thought experiment for the fudge packers and their sympathizers who poullute freerepublic with their relativsm...


Take two nations that have equal resources in every other way. In one, the laws of Texas apply, go beyond it even, cohabitation is illegal and there is no such thing as 'no-fault' divorce when children are involved. In the other nation, half the population engages in sodomy and prostitution. The other half is cohabiting.

Which nation will be the greater nation 100 years hence? Whose children will be in the best mental health? Which people will be happier, freerer, and more prosperous? There is no doubt in my mind that nation whose laws best conform to the actual moral order of the universe will be the nation whose citizens are most blessed.

In the Colonial era we went through awful government (see for example the story of Governor Cornbury) as atrocious morally and ethically as we find the Bar and the Senate today.

This gave rise to the Great Awakening -- a religious revival, where the nation's best intellects were trained along moral and religious lines we now call "fundamentalism". Out of the generations that were awakened then arose the generation that fought the Revolution.

" There is no doubt in my mind that nation whose laws best conform to the actual moral order of the universe will be the nation whose citizens are most blessed."

No doubt in mine either. Unfortunately, those that are living against the will of God and those who are supporting them (the liberals, the government, the courts) in doing it are living in confusion and are unable to see the fatal flaw in their reasoning, or lack of it.

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." As long as we were a nation who worshipped the Lord our blessings overflowed. God has not removed His hand from us, nor will He as long as there are those who pray to Him. His grace will continue to be there, but not in the abundance of a nation that serves Him as we once did.

See, what you described with the two "nations" is exactly what the Founders envisioned with the states. That notion was still popular until about 1860. Now THERE is the true diversity that libs give lip service to.
