“Without God, all things are permissible” Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
As a child of the 60’s I well remember the cultural upheaval that took place. When the attitude of “if it feels good do it” became the rallying cry of a generation hell-bent on throwing off any and all moral restraint along with relegating the God of their parents (and of the bible) to the shelf of irrelevance.
While it is plausible to assume that Dostoevsky didn’t intend his phrase to be prophetic, it has none-the-less turned out to hold validity. As our culture has increasingly turned from God and His revealed principals we have witnessed an opposite reaction in moral perversion, self-gratification, political corruption, economic downturns along with an increasing dependence upon the new god on the block…dysfunctional government!
Any builder knows that the key to a solid structure is in the integrity of the foundation. Revisionist history, along with its politically correct peddlers, has most certainly erased the historical facts, namely that this nation and society were built upon biblical principles. For instance, President Calvin Coolidge stated: “The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our county.”

Tom Minnery, Senior Vice President, Government & Public Policy for Focus on the Family (Focus) recently editorialized in a newsletter that the demise of Indiana’s failed attempt to deny funding to Planned Parenthood may have solutions that on first examination may seem impossible.

As one might have expected, the Obama administration has denied the appeal of the Romeike family for asylum in the U.S. in order to have the right and freedom to home school their children. They left their home in Germany because, under current laws, it is illegal to home school and the Romeike’s didn’t want their children in state-run schools learning concepts that are opposed to their religious beliefs.
I recently wrote of my conversation with a libertarian friend on the topic of marriage and the view that marriage belongs, at best, in the hands of the people of each state and not in the hands of the federal government. You can read the article 
Compulsory participation in government run schools seems like an idea found only in communist controlled countries. And yet that very idea is being pushed and propagated right here in the United States. What has been quietly taking place over the last few years is a push to force every child into a government run public school while simultaneously discouraging alternative school choices such as home schooling.
We’ve written frequently in the past few months about the many instances of unfair treatment of Christian students on campuses around the country, in high schools in various states, and other instances of suppression of First Amendment rights.
I recently had a conversation with a very politically involved and insightful friend on the topic of marriage. He’s a libertarian and I wanted to try and understand his point of view. I won’t profess to be an expert on the libertarian viewpoint of marriage at this time, but I found our conversation interesting. Just days after this thought-provoking conversation articles surfaced that seemed to ask many of the same questions he did, and make many of the same points.
