"Government is not reason, it is force! Like fire a dangerous servant and a terrible master." - George Washington.

That's why Washington believed that this nation should be governed by a people who believed in the Christian concept of morality. If it isn't, it is doomed to fail.

Can't you see that the kind of moral void that you want will lead to tyranny? Actually, it won't lead to it. It will require it.

Shalom.

And flatly rejected a theocracy or monarchy.
