A moral life is more peaceful and conducive to long term survival of the species than an immoral life.
He's right. It's akin to the truism communicated by Noah Webster that the foundation of a free government is Christianity.
Interesting. I haven't read Noah Webster. I know there is a big debate on whether or not America was founded as a Christian nation. I know England was. So wouldn't it have been better to just remain a British colony? I find it interesting that our Constitution doesn't mention christianity, Christ, Jesus, Nephites, creator, God, or anything suggesting this is a Christian nation. I know many of the founders were christian, but the Constitution was designed as the supreme authority of the US, and there isn't anything religious about it. In fact, the only reference to religion is in Article 6 "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." That sounds like something a liberal-commie would put in the constitution.

That is an important lesson in the facts of life for anyone who places any stock in our justice system. Morality and fairness has very, very little to do with it.
The New World Order regularly loots the planet to meet its budgetary needs. Because they can thanks to RWR. What a beast. I think it must trickle down since there are no expenditures. The LDS give more than ten percent to build up and establish Zion. Those who can spend those billions on infrastructure to keep their friends businesses successful. And that just has to come back around. You think? In both cases there is no progress towards utopia.
And no jail time either.
Prison management systems are now for profit. Expect less than drug offenses to fill their beds, er, coffers.
Y'all really need a bit of a reading comprehension course.
The fact that some crimes go unpunished has nothing to do with the fact that civilization has survival value.
But I really don't have time for this. You are all so ready to pounce on every word out of my mouth that there is no discussion- it is a waste of time to keep countering your points against points I have NOT made, or points you do not comprehend.
I would rather spend time on the other board where at least people are interested in what I actually have to say.
