Our leaders wouldn’t do what they do if they believed in a higher power.

I heard this from a preacher on talk radio yesterday.

He went on to say that morality in congress is almost nonexistent because most of them fear nothing. Our government has abandoned Judeo-Christian values.

I don’t think this has been more evident than with this current administration.

The Left's counter-argument is that the USA is NOT founded on Judeo Christian values OR that "Judeo-Christian values" never actually existed.

True, but they also wouldn't do what they do if they didn't have a way to rig elections.

Another point he made was that with the loss of morality comes more laws.

We can absolutely see this happing currently.

I agree . I wish preachers would do more to save the country. They would rather fly to another country to save people then do it in this country.

This is true. The laws made when our country was founded were based on a mostly civil and moral society. They don't work well if we don't have that.

To understand the Founding Fathers you must go beyond the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and Articles of Confederation.
They wrote a lot of letters that survive today. They believed in 'Providence' and had a strong sense of ethics. The short version of ethics:
You want to do something wrong.
You know you can get away with it.
You choose not to do it because it is wrong.

Today's politicians do not have a strong sense of ethics. But neither do leaders throughout history. Our founders were very unique. We were lucky. That's why we have the oldest constitution in the world.

I agree. They have exchanged the truth for a lie and worship the creature (themselves) rather than their creator.

When you reject God, you reject eternal accountability. When there is no objective meaning and purpose, you create it for yourself. When you don’t think eternity exists, you are free to do as you wish today.

It is worse than that. The democrats think they are the higher power and half of the country thinks they are.

Well we definitely can't have that. People running around all willy nilly doing what they want to do.

They need to be made to comply.

There are a small, very small, handful of righteous congressmen.

Mike Johnson is one

The preacher didn't mention that the powers that be likely actively serve satan? Clearly the evil we see requires direction from the demonic.

The reason they do what they do is the general population has lost faith in the highest power. So many consider gooberment to be the highest power.
