Patrick Henry Quote 

"Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that
tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted
public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government,
or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a
firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and
virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles."

HE WAS RIGHT!! Just look at what we have become.

Read it again and again. This is so true. BE AWARE!
 -- Tatiana 		 
It is possible to be moral without believing in God. There are some nonbelievers who are more moral than some believers, as there are some believers who are more moral than some nonbelievers.
 -- Anonymous		 
If it is possible to be "moral" without believing in God, then what is the definition of "moral?" Who determines this definition, and what makes one person's definition more probable/believable than any one else's? In other words, where is the standard? There is none, as everything becomes relative, or so it seems to me.
 -- John Babush, Big Rock, IL.
