To all elected officials:
Our country was founded on Biblical moral principles. John Adams recognized: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Moral principles are absolute. If one compromises any principle in their actions, they no longer have a principle, but only an opening bargaining position. If one does not actively oppose that which is evil, they are a partaker of that evil. We, the people, are also guilty for reelecting officials who have proven to be unprincipled before God.
When officials who are appointed to do good and promote justice fail to perform properly, legislators and senators are morally obligated to impeach them and remove them from power. We have seen some of the grossest of abuses by appointed officials and justices, and have yet to see a single impeachment proceeding at the federal or state level to bring any of these to justice. Party politics must be subservient to God’s moral law.
Our government now actively promotes practices God forbids: homosexuality, same sex marriage, pedophilia, immorality, theft, abortion, and idolatry among others. The government reflects the character of its people. We deserve, as a nation, to come under God’s judgment for rebellion against his Word, especially after all his blessings in creating this country. We need a national repentance which must start with those in government by appropriate actions to turn this country from these practices.
Will Walker says
The first amendment in the bill of rights prohibits congress respecting any establishment of religion. The notion that the United States was founded on biblical principles explicitly violates one of its most core tenets. A combination of church and state is fundamentally incompatible with a free nation.

Before anyone should even start to consider whether your god is moral or not, you need to first prove that this invisible, imaginary being even exists, something no one in the entire history of mankind has ever been able to do for any god, let alone yours specifically..
Go ahead, please. Prove that your god is more than just an imaginary, mythical deity invented by Iron Age men.

What if you are wrong?

Pascal’s wager? Ouch! Whenever someone brings that up I always know that I’m talking with someone who almost certainly has not thought very deeply about what they believe or why.
Pascal’s wager presupposes that a person can choose what they believe or not. That’s not the way our beliefs work. Either you believe something, or you do not. I could no more choose to believe that your god is real than you could choose to believe that the moon is made of green cheese. I could pretend to believe in your god, “just in case”, but that would assume that your all knowing god could be so easily fooled by a mere mortal from Montana. :).
Now ,a question for you. What if you’re wrong? After all, man has believed in thousands of gods since the beginning of time, what makes you so sure that you’ve chosen the right god, the right religion, and the right version of that religion? You might claim that you KNOW that you are right, but you need to understand that that is EXACTLY what EVERY single other person that has ever believed in any type of god has thought. NONE of them thought that they got it wrong. You can’t all be right, but you could all be wrong.
Think about it.

Gomez, you miss the point of Pascals Wager, God never said He would take the bet.
Gomez says
God never said anything to anyone as far as I can tell.
