Even our forefathers made it clear they believed a moral compass fixed on God was an essential ingredient for the success of capitalism and the democratic system of government they established. Without a common morality and a populace who followed that morality even apart from law, none of it would continue to work.

When this country was founded, we had a common morality. Now, that common morality has been dissolved into moral relativism. We are no longer able to define right from wrong, so everything must be right.

Most recently, we have decided to try to eliminate God from government and public society in general. We have replaced embracing the common core value of treating others as we would like to be treated with a national admiration for those who are willing and able to place their own selfish interests above all others to get what they want.

It is my personal belief that we are suffering as a nation because we allowed the socialists of the Democrat party to purge the soul from our nation as they moved us left. After nearly a century of trying to drive God from every inch of their land, even Russia is searching again for its soul. They finally realized how bleak life was without it and how miserable a nation they had become without God. It is my hope that as the pendulum swings back in America, we will want to welcome God back, as well.

Jesus replied to the man who called him "good master"
"Why do you call me good", asked Jesus. "Only God is good"
The human heart is deceitfully wicked, who can know it.
Man's heart is full of evil deeds from the time he is born till the time he dies..
Man's nature is to sin...
Jesus also said that "You being evil..give good things to your children..how much more will your Heavenly father give to you.."
Can man be good apart from God?depends on your definition of good...
According to God...No you cannot be good apart from Him

I've always been struck that the references to God, The Creator and "Divine Providence" in the Declaration of Independence, and that, "To secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity", within the Constitution, convey the recognition that the rights that they confer are God-given and, therefore, can never be rescinded by Man.

Even atheists should take comfort in that, whereby their rights to the contrary are forever so guaranteed.
