Hillary Clinton: Poster girl for post-Christian America
(World Net Daily) – Scholars debate whether or not the United States was originally founded on Christian principles, but most agree that we are today – through and through – a secular nation. We might have previously considered ourselves a God-ordained and Christian nation, but the grand triumph of worldliness over godliness is here for all to see. And we are the worst for it – with moral and godly men and women giving over to mindless and materialistic masses worshiping at the counters of McDonald’s, Macys and the nearest Tesla dealer.
In post-Christian and post-moral America, the lower instincts are released from their tenuous confinement, and narcissism, self-indulgence, group conformity and moral stupidity become the driving forces of behavior. Eden’s fall now becomes a virtue where nothing is ever wrong in and of itself – only that which transgresses man’s malleable and ever-shifting legal system is disapproved or punishable. Even there, the liberal mind is predisposed toward rationalizing, excusing and diverting blame from the individual to an endless panoply of “root causes” lurking in society.
A deep moral sense of eternal and uniform rights and wrongs is the only way the fallen race of human beings can ever live in an environment of fairness, decency and affection for one another. Only the lowest and most obvious misbehaviors can be controlled by the secular mandates, and, in theory, there must be a particular law to cover every conceivable possibility. Implicitly, a given act – say, sexually abusing a child – is not “wrong” unless you are caught, convicted in court and then punished. With no morality and only secular law in effect, life becomes nothing more than a series of gambles with the goal of “getting away with it,” “beating the man” and so on. READ MORE
