[QUOTE="Mitch Rapp, post: 1827819, member: 332"] I don't doubt what you say, but my question is this. Without a system of beliefs, or a guideline to follow, how do you ensure that your future generations will follow the same moralistic standards that you claim to hold to? Without a baseline, or plumbline to measure against how does one stay true? Many things that are considered fine today would be thought of as outrageous by older generations. Without a standard to abide by, and compare to humans will drift away from what is right. Hence why the founders wrote the Constitution, and why God gave us the Bible. Try building a wall without a level, you will be close or even right on at the bottom, but it will inevitably stray from true as it builds. That is the whole reason our country is in the mess it finds itself in now. Politicians stopped using the Constitution as a plumbline or level, and instead followed what they thought would be best.
