In other words, you are saying that people MUST be perfect?
Not at all.
I'm saying all of American society should adopt a code of ethics and a set of values which we would internalize to keep us from unwittingly contributing to our own demise.
Same principle as not discriminating against minorities, but expanded to make all of us do things of our own accord, which AT LEAST don't make America sicker.
And the set of values we have now are only making us sicker and sicker.
On the other hand, the Bible's principals have been in use for thousands of years.
A revival of those standards but without it being a religion or being called a religion, is what we need to agree on.
And there's a coincidence that as America grew less charming and kind spirited, so did the movement to eliminate Christianity from our schools and our daily lives, become more prevalent.
