A lot of you have probably heard about Ann Coulter’s new book Godless: The Church of Liberalism. She claims that liberalism is working at sucking God out of American society. They want to promote the idea that “mankind is an inconsequential accident.”
For the sake of argument, lets just say that Ann Coulter is correct. We will accept her premise that liberalism is the Church of the Godless.
I have been reading Plato’s Republic Book Two. It asks the question, why should we be just. Are people only just because they are too weak? Are laws nothing but arbitrary rules setup by “the man” to keep down the weak?
If you ask the questions in light of Ann Coulter’s new book, liberalism seems really scary. Without God, laws would be arbitrary. What excuse do I have to not just go out and break the law? Laws would just be here to keep me down. If I don’t get caught for breaking the law, what is the punishment?
By getting rid of God aren’t we just going to give ourselves more of a culture of corruption?
Doesn’t humanity necessitate a divine? We follow natural and scientific laws. Dont’ wee need a law giver.
I dunno… I’m just thinking out loud.

Justice is a virtue in and of itself. It does not require a God to give it its value, it is inherently valuable.
Ann Coulter is nothing more than a hate-filled, rhetoric spewing sophist. Stop reading poison.
