A solid moral foundation is required of any people who mean to be free. That it even needs to be mentioned is a sad testament to just how conditioned we’ve all become to the control grid.
Whether it comes from a religious perspective or one of well grounded logic and dedication to principle, for a society to enjoy the blessings of liberty and self governance – there must be self restraint. The lack of morality in America was cultivated deliberately. It is part and parcel of the plan to reduce us all to servitude.
We fulfill the expectations of the political and money power elite who view us as cattle; as unintelligent beasts, when we behave like savages. Crime, sexual promiscuity and perversions, drug abuse and all the other social ills exist in large part because of a lack of self control. The root of which can be summed up in a colloquial term unheard of when I was younger:
“My baby’s daddy.”
We don’t teach good and evil to our kids any more, we teach tolerance. And what’s resulted is a tolerance of evil. That America is so far off the track is not only because the money power has usurped the gifts our Founding Fathers left us.
It is that we no longer have any shame.
And again, to remedy this we must look within, and stop seeing the problem, but be the change we desire. Divorce, bad manners, rudeness, argument: if you don’t like what you’re getting then you need to examine what you’re giving.
Love all these comments. Thanks! Blessings, G
I think there is confusion as to just what constitutes morality. There is a broad spectrum of ‘morality’, from being anti-gay, anti-interracial marriage, anti-abortion, and anti-anything that contradicts my religious beliefs to being a sovereign being who lives by the golden rule ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you’. For a better idea of just how wide this range is, consider the differences between Fred Phelps and the Dalai Lama or Ron Paul. The tone of this article almost sounds like the first kind of morality, and I’m guessing that ‘sexual promiscuity and perversions’ are code words for sex outside of marriage and gay marriage, which are really non-issues for me. Single mothers? If you bring a child into this world, you are responsble for providing a loving, nurturing, and stable home for that child regardless of your marital/relationship status. Marriage doesn’t guarantee that a child will be raised in a loving, nurturing way.
My view of morality is more libertarian, i.e. ‘what consenting adults do behind closed doors is none of my business, so long as it doesn’t harm others or the property of others’. My morality does not include government or religious regulations dictating what others can and cannot do. I don’t think morality should be based on one religion’s views. Perhaps ‘personal ethics and responsibility’ should replace the word ‘morality’. Remember that religion, ‘morality’, shame, and damnation have been used as control mechanisms to divide and conquer for thousands of years.
I agree with you. I especially feel that shame has no place as a determinant of whether one has done wrong. How many people have spent years and many hundreds or thousands of dollars trying to overcome feelings of shame instilled by others, however well-meaning.
A priest actually told me that if we (Catholics) lived by the Golden Rule, we would have no need for the Ten Commandments.
Tolerance has been taken out of context and skewed into a new meaning. But, teaching duality is just as bad. We can have a solid base without either. Both lack love. A solid foundation built from a base of pure love energy destroys the abused tolerance and duality. They cease to be. Teach what we want our world to be, not what we can individually “tolerate”.
