◼ Secular progressives can’t keep God out of public life - ben Carson/Washington Times
We used to characterize the Soviet Union as a godless, evil empire. Like many societies before them that were based on communism or socialism, the Soviets had seen fit to minimize the importance of God and, in many cases, wreaked unimaginable persecution on religious people.
Why is faith in God anathema to such states? It’s because they need to remove any authority beside themselves as the arbiter of right and wrong.
Interestingly, last year Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized Euro-Atlantic countries, including the United States, of becoming godless and moving away from Christian values.
Some may bristle at such an accusation, but when you now consider that many Americans are hesitant to even mention God or Jesus in public, there may be some validity to his claim....
