MORALITY: Foundation of our nation

A person is truly free only when there is in place an instrument within the governed, an ability to agree to disagree. Forced group-think is totalitarian and immoral. Here are some of my thoughts.

According to God’s word, I believe abortion is immoral because a baby is murdered in the process. Someone who should have grown up to live the American dream, which is their God-given right, is destroyed by someone who would have been a fellow citizen of the deceased.

I also believe that based on today’s science, not 1973, one day soon, abortion will be illegal in America. Though the right to get an abortion is guaranteed now, it does not make it moral.

“The word rendered ‘Confidence’ stood in ancient Greece for the most valued right of a citizen of a free state, the right to speak his mind…unhampered by fear of shame.” (Barker citing Dodd)

“Let truth run free” is being replaced in America by “The only truth is what the individual deems it to be.” In a country with nearly 350 million people, that world view has one outcome — chaos.

John Adams was quoted as saying, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Even as flawed humans, the Founders were wise enough to see that unless there was a bedrock sustaining this fledgling nation, it would not stand. That foundation is undeniably written into the fabric of our nation: “God bless America.”

If morality is unsustainable, society is unsustainable.

Should I have “Confidence” that these thoughts are still guaranteed?
