What Liberals Want for All of Us

Liberals SAY the reason they are attempting to push God out of the public square is that they fear a theocracy, where everyone is forced to pray and go to Sunday school and obey the 10 Commandments (thou shalt not commit adultery being the Commandment they seem to fear the most). Truth: I've never met anyone of any religion (except Muslim) who would want a theocracy in this country. Liberals SAY the reason they want a secular society is to avoid hypocrisy and corruption, and then they point at an extreme exception to the norm like Jim Bakker to "prove" their point. Well, we don't have to imagine what this country would look like if we pushed God out of our lives. Let's just look at a country that has been hostile toward religion for the past 56 years.

BEIJING (Reuters) - An investigation by China's state auditors released on Thursday has found rampant financial irregularities throughout government and said corruption in public administration is widespread. The report found budget mismanagement in no less than 32 government ministries and departments, and was equally critical of the Finance Ministry and the National Development and Reform Commission, the two main bodies that disseminate cash. Chinese leaders have said the government faces self-destruction if it fails to crack down on corruption but it remains a problem both for government and private business, despite periodic clean-up campaigns.

If the following sounds familiar, it's because I've said it before. But I think it bears repeating. All you have to do to figure out what a totally secular society would look like is to look at some. The perfect examples are Communist and former Communist states. Without exception, their number one problem is corruption. The problem with atheism or secularism is it has no moral benchmarks. Certain things are forbidden, not because they're considered immoral, but because they're against the law. And who determines what's right and wrong? Politicians and judges do. And before you know it, things are being banned not because God thinks they're wrong, but because politicians and judges think they're wrong. And if you thought the vengeful God of the Old Testament was strict, you ain't seen nuthin. Pretty soon it's illegal to own a gun, to smoke in bars, to drive without a seatbelt, to have too much water in your toilet tank, etc., etc., etc... You gotta wonder what those politicians and judges will do when they've banned every single human activity. Will they repeal some laws just so they can pass them again? It is no coincidence that the most secular nations on earth are also the most repressive. The problem with a society that is based on secular rather than moral laws is that people who don't want to obey a law just won't. After all, it's not as though God will punish you if you break the law, the politicians will -- if they catch you -- and if they themselves aren't corrupt beyond salvation. And every lawbreaker knows that he'll never be caught. You've heard it time after time from the left when the government tries to pass legislation aimed at curbing immoral behavior -- "You can't legislate morality!" That's not only wrong, it's stupid. Is murder immoral? Do we have laws against murder? Is rape immoral? Do we have laws against rape? Is theft immoral? Do we have laws against theft? Obviously the government CAN legislate morality. What the government cannot do is INSTILL morality through legislation. Morality MUST be instilled through social mores. Then it is codified into law. If those social mores break down, the government can pass all the legislation it wants and it will not halt the breakdown of society. Then it will hold its sham of a society together through brute force. Look at places like China, Burma , Vietnam and North Korea. And what is the left in this country doing? They are breaking down the very institutions that provide us with a moral compass. They are conducting a blind jihad against religions. ANY attempt to bring the discussion of social mores into the public arena is met with howls of protest. And what has this brought us? It has brought us generation after generation of increasingly amoral monsters. It has brought us "doctors" who get rich aborting babies, mothers who kill their children, children who kill their parents, grade school kids who rape and assault. It is no longer sufficient to watch your children at play and hold their hand in the mall. Child molesters now break into homes and kill entire families to get at their prey. The future of this country is clear as crystal to everyone but the knuckle-headed liberals. With the destruction of moral institutions, the government will have to pass more and more laws to control society. The more laws that are passed the more laws that are broken. But that will suit the leftists. It's how they prefer to live. You can get away with a lot more when the government is watching than when God is watching.
