You can’t do it, have a secular culture, and expect society to adhere to values. Specifically, America was founded as a Christian nation. Our laws were formed around Biblical ideals. Without those values driving our decision-making process, the wheels fall off entirely. This separation of church and state was an attack on the concept of American life, not a way to protect it from various ideas. If we want to Make American Great Again, the Bible must be at our culture’s core. We can be tolerant of other cultures and religious beliefs, but to have common footing and a value system people can believe in, we must turn to the Bible to establish a foundation that mass society can start with as a means of acquiring proper social behavior. I have been saying this for a while now, and the evidence is obvious. Without Biblical concepts to drive society, it flies apart quickly. Regarding the Jewish traditions of the Ten Commandments, which are the foundation for our entire law and order society, we should look back now with the benefit of hindsight at the start of the problem, the removal of the Bible from our legislative process. The people who wanted to do that understood what they were strategically doing. They didn’t want America to survive or thrive. They tried to destroy our country and our values, and the first place they started was with the religious foundation of the country, to begin with, and disguised their efforts as a “protection of free speech.” To use free speech as a means to destroy free speech. We have been dealing with some real bad guys up to substantial no good, and it’s time we go in the other direction. If we want to establish law, order, and social value, the Bible is our best option as a mass society.
A lot of people have been mad at me for my statements about the Bible needing to be the center of our society. I am probably more tolerant of other people’s religions and beliefs than most are. I am sure the average person doesn’t interact with people from all over the world with as much diversity in belief as I do on a daily basis. And I’ve heard all the atheist arguments regarding God from the Ayn Rand Objectivism, which is OK for specifying the value of money and how it measures worth in society. Separating the element of God from those kinds of discussions helps make a point of what value is and how people should conduct themselves. When the Bible was written, and before the idea of free people was contemplated as a reality, money was handled by those exerting power over others. That still occurs around much of the world, but in America, the concept of wealth creation has a moral element that preserves individual liberty. Money doesn’t usher in the roots of all evil into a people who should be worshipping Yahweh with sacrifices and a bent knee. We’re not talking about subservience to a deity as much as we are expressing the values and lessons of the human race since the beginning of time, more than 10,000 years of evolution. Once America was formed on Biblical concepts as a free nation fleeing the religious persecution of Europe, things started to work out very well with the human race. Cleon Skousen’s 5000 Year Leap understands this concept very well. Until those elements of Biblical value combined with individual freedom, the entire human race was in a desperate state that continued to rise and fall throughout history. It’s not an accident that the Jewish people became the longest-lasting group to survive for such a long period. Because the ideas about how to structure society, from judges to rulers to everyday conduct, worked as they were written in the Bible. And our civilization flourished accordingly.
I’ve tried accommodating people’s secular sentiments, but it doesn’t work. I’ve been there for a while, especially in watching how angry so many people who are rooting for the failure of America to happen have been toward President Trump. I wouldn’t say that Trump has been over his life an example of moral compunction. Like many people, he came to it through experience and necessity. Trump was very much living the life of a Hugh Hefner Playboy type. It only took him a few wives to start figuring it out, and Melania has been good for him. It probably took a few years to work out that lifestyle of not being a playboy, and as a result, a more biblical perspective became an increasing part of his life. But as he ran for president, the resistance to him pushed him in that direction for the better, and he has turned out to be a pretty good person as a result. If you have looked at his books written since he was president, books from Winning Team Publishing like ‘Our Journey Together’ “Letters to Trump, and this latest one, which is fantastic, ‘Save America,’ you will see more than the journey of a presidency from campaign status to fulfillment and a real representative of the American lifestyle in a moral way. A person’s journey growing into actual Biblical value, like a character from the Bible called to do God’s work.
I was thinking about all this while serving as a foreman for a grand jury. It was my job to swear in all the witnesses, and they gave me a card that said on one side, “So help me God.” On the other, it removed God from the sentence and was intended for more secular types. After hearing from hundreds of witnesses over several weeks and listening to the many criminal cases presented, it was obvious the root cause of much of it was the lack of biblical value in our society that was put there with progressive politics. Only a few months before my grand jury service, I had just traveled to Japan for the second time in six months. I was exposed to the nightlife of Kyoto, complete with the traditional dress they have there. I saw a lot of temples and the burning of incense where people openly worshipped the religion of Shinto, which involves the worship of kami, spirits that inhabit everything. There isn’t much crime in Japan, and they thrive. Much of that is caused by their understanding of the social values provided by the Shinto religion. There are shrines everywhere; it’s impossible to walk around too far in Japan and not have exposure to Shinto worship. It reminded me that much of our infrastructure for religious value is already in place in America. You can hardly go anywhere in America without seeing a church. During my grand jury service, I didn’t have to use the back of the card to swear people in. Everyone I swore in seemed to like how I said, “So help you, God.” That’s why we traditionally have people put their hand on a Bible to swear them in, it’s a testament to the values contained within it. Based on what we know now and what we have learned from other cultures that have not embraced some ridiculous concept of secular law and order, a biblical foundation is crucial to Making America Great Again. All we need to do is accept what we have learned about social order and apply it accordingly, and things will restore to proper conduct quickly.
