OPINION:
There are laws and policies now on the books that suggest people should do whatever they wish. To make such “free choice” possible, there has been some trashing of God’s Ten Commandments, morality, tradition, true marriage, solid family structure necessary for a civilized society and more. And there is considerable division and hatred, too.
Were they living today, would the Founding Fathers and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. be concerned about our nation’s loss of its historically good character? There is advice for clearing away this mess, whether we are believers or not: “Seek first the Kingdom of God, all good things will follow” (Matthew 6:33-34).
We ought to publicly promote God’s Ten Commandments of no killings, no assaults, no bullying, no cheating, no theft, and no destroying others’ property or ruining others’ reputations through media smears or other means. We should promote children obeying their parents and other elders, including teachers and civil authority figures.
Judges, the American Civil Liberties Union and everyone else must respect these rules, for good of the nation in which we live and that we love.
We want the kind of peace the world cannot give.
