"You don't need religion to have morals. If you can't determine right from wrong then you lack empathy, not religion."

On the contrary, aside from God's Word there exists no solid standard for comparison of what actually is right and what is wrong and therefore, the idea of right and wrong becomes subjectively empathetic. Since empathy is nothing if not subjective, the best standard we could hope for would be a chaotic state of flux. Without God's clear and unalterable standard, the common ground once aspired to from both sides of the aisle would not exist and, we would fall prey to the petty whims of special interest groups. Remove God's clearly stated moral code out of our courts and legislatures and each man would begin to follow his own opinion. The orderly workings of the federal government, at one time the envy or the world, would spiral out of control and gridlock would rule our land. Backbiting and bickering would become the new face of the US Congress, and America would become so seriously divided she, (like Rome) would fall from within.

I'm being sarcastic of course. We have turned our back on God and we will reap the whirlwind for our arrogance. "God is not mocked" and "His Word will not return unto Him void." America has two paths she can take. If she insists on the present and keeps on cranking out abortions by the million and continues her trek towards becoming the land of the gay, it's over. If America snaps out of it and returns to her traditional conservative roots, God's hand of blessing will rest upon us again. There is no middle ground.
