Morality is not determined and cannot be legislated by the government, nor can it be determined by public or private polls. Our moral values are not and should not be based on what the government or the majority of people would like. Morality is determined by the truth of the holy Word of God. Without God’s Word, there is no basis for a moral or even a just society. Without God in the life of a nation you have only failed regimes, i.e., Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, all the godless mid-east countries and on and on. This republic called the United States has prospered all these many years due to that one attribute of being a God fearing people. There are people who will scoff at this, but they are generally the ones without morals, you know, Liberals/Democrats and like kind. But that is a discussion for another time.
We are in a time in the history of the United States, and perhaps even the world, that morality is no longer “cool.” Today is the era of “feel good” spirituality, if it feels good and doesn’t hurt anyone, then it is OK to do whatever. Morality has become an attribute of unsophisticated, conservative, backward thinking Neanderthals who still think the earth is flat and the sun revolves around it. Just ask Mr. Sophistication, Chris Matthews of MSNBC fame if you want verification.
People with morals are to be humored. They are not taken seriously because their morals are the basis for beliefs that actually condemn immoral behavior. My my, just think about that. That we are so medieval in our thinking as to be offended and disturbed by such activities as people having sexual relations on the public streets of San Francisco. These people think that we simply should avert our eyes and mind our own business. They think that we should forgive, forget and move on. If a congressman wants to be totally without morals and expose his body before young women and young girls, then we should just forgive, forget and move on. After all he didn’t hurt anyone did he? If he has cheated on his taxes, on his wife, on his constituents and America, we are to just attribute that to an error in judgment. At least the State Media (CBS, NBC, ABC and NPR, etc) seem to relate that line of thinking.
Yesterday (Sunday) at the beginning of the US Open championship, NBC had a video montage with school children reciting(twice) the Pledge of Allegiance. NBC edited out the phrase “under God.” Three hours into the program the announcer casually offered an apology “to those who might have been offended.” He would not even say what the omitted phrase was, only that some people might have been offended. I believe he would not say because NBC will not allow the name of God to be spoken on their broadcast. This is just further evidence of the lack of morality, or even concern for it.
The moral fiber of The United States is wearing so thin as to be non-existent. I believe the reason is because, we as a nation, no longer turn to our Heavenly Father for our spiritual needs. If you were born before 1950, maybe even before 1960, you know what I am saying is true. You know as well as I, that this once great nation is on a greased slope to Hell; think Sodom and Gomorrah. Mainly because of the lack of morality.
God help the USA and come quickly January 22, 2013.
