Without Religion, You Can’t Hire Enough Cops!
I can assure you that the statement above is true.
America’s founding principles are based upon Judeo/Christian Precepts. It appears that “Modernity”, as manifested in the main features of what is now called the “Post-Modern Era” is in many ways incompatible with these religious rules-for-living within a democracy (more accurately, in our case, a Constitutional Republic).
Some may think that the main challenge to America, now, is find a way to make its Religions compatible with Modernity. But the religious principles and laws central to Judeo/Christian beliefs, as illustrated by all history are not infinitely malleable.
The belief in God and His Commandments are inviolate for the attainment of a fair measure sociocultural success on earth.
However, I must argue that this is a necessary, though not a sufficient condition for sociocultural success on earth…a superior military and civil police force, etc. are also necessary.
The so-called Post-Modern Era will have to find a way accommodate all of this or it will lead to “hell on earth”.
