True, we don't need radicals and extremists burning 'witches' and certainly don't need a superiority complex used as an excuse for racial or sexual discrimination. However, we sure could use some real men and women that believe in the golden rule and who keep the Ten Commandments.
Finally, some of you will say you don't need to believe in God to be moral. In theory you would be right. But, it's not working out so far, and it's only getting worse.

That's a silly response. Are you suggesting that somehow Christian ideals support child abuse and rape? It is those that falsly "claim" to be religious that act in that manner. Thus, connecting the idea that the religious are all hypocritical. The reality is that today most religious are full of $&@!. That's my point, there is no true blue keepers of moral principle.

You don't. I know some great people who are not religious. But, I think that overall, the belief in a higher power who demands morality was a great thing for those in this country with the power over the populous. Power corrupts, and greed has eaten up many. I think a strong belief system helps to keep men on the straight and narrow. Many of out founding fathers made human mistakes, but many of those men were also men if conviction and that is what made this country great.
