TIME FOR OUR SCHOOL KIDS TO MEMORIZE THIS PART OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

When did morality become relative? When did good and evil stop being black and white — and become shades of gray? When did thieves and murderers stop being predators and become the oppressed victims of a corrupt system?
Those are the fruits of moral relativism. It holds that there is no absolute right or wrong — what one culture considers "wrong," another will consider "right." It is the philosophy that good and evil are constructs of human beings — not laws of God.
There are two social frameworks for occupants of our world — "might makes right" and divine law. "Might makes right" is credited to Greek philosopher Thrasymachus. The philosophy asserts that a society's view of right and wrong is determined by those in power. It imposes no morality on the issue of right and wrong. It is simply that those in a position to make the rules are free to do so with no ethical constraints. In "might makes right," strength is righteousness, and prosperity is determined by survival of the fittest.
A shark that devours a seal is not evil. It is simply an animal deriving sustenance from another. There is no judgment, no guilt, and no ethical conundrum. The strong thrive at the expense of the weak. It is neither good nor evil.
We accept that "might makes right" for non-human animals. But we do not accept it for ourselves. A man who steals from another is not a mere animal deriving sustenance from his prey. We believe that men have an inherent right to not be preyed upon, because we accept the notion of good and evil — a standard that transcends cultural beliefs and animalistic cravings.
We believe that humans have God-given rights.

;As Karl Marx said in 1844:
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
Marx viewed belief in God as a drug created by men, to temporarily ease their suffering. He felt that religion should be replaced by a Marxist society, which would ease physical suffering — no longer requiring a religious analgesic to mask it.
This is EXACTLY right.
When I realized that the progressive Left was attacking the Constitution bit by bit, I became a Declarationist instead of a Constitutionalist.
...that they [all men] are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights...

In the prologue before the 1956 movie “The Ten Commandments” Cecille De DeMille talks about the conflict of man serving God or a tyrant like Ramses. Biden would like to have been like Ramses.
