The Nones, Atheism, and Immorality

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

The Nones, a significant group in the United States, hold strong ideological opposition to Christianity, reflecting an anti-Creator God stance. As agnostics or atheists, they reject the moral foundation provided by the 10 Commandments, which have long been a standard of behavior. Instead, they support liberal agendas, including abortion, women's rights, and the homosexual agenda, while opposing capital punishment and advocating for rigid gun control. Their lack of a unified moral code is evident in actions such as erecting a monument featuring quotations from Madalyn Murray O'Hair, placed adjacent to one honoring historical figures and the 10 Commandments, yet offering no counterbalancing code of morality. This absence of a foundational moral standard creates a significant challenge for their logic and civic conduct.

A Government To Fear (Part Two)

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

A troubling trend has emerged in American courts, where matters of conscience rooted in God's law are consistently defeated. This shift began decades ago when challenges to school prayers and daily Bible readings succeeded, forcing their removal from public schools. Anti-God and anti-Bible organizations, promoting liberality and progressive thought, have since extended their influence into public, moral, and ethical conduct. They claim to liberate people from outdated, inhibitive rules, targeting symbols like the Ten Commandments for removal from public spaces such as courthouses and schools, often with success. These groups have also leveraged public media to spread misleading information, gaining support for causes like abortion, which is presented as liberty but equates to the legalized murder of the unborn. This act, breaking the chains of marriage and child-rearing responsibilities, is tied by atheistic humanists to outdated biblical beliefs. Additionally, movements advocating for lesbianism and gay lifestyles have sought public acceptance, often reacting viciously against those who resist their version of liberty, causing suffering to dissenters. Lying, another form of immorality, is widely recognized among the public, yet many remain indifferent to it, even when it concerns national leadership. This apathy reflects a broader ignorance of biblical teachings on immorality and its national impact. Many attend church out of habit or for social reasons, without truly studying or living by the Bible's teachings. This lack of engagement extends to the majority of Americans, including leaders, lawmakers, and judges, resulting in a systematic loss of knowledge about God and His teachings. Consequently, immoral influences prevail in courts, which are now biased toward humanist liberties, leaving the innocent to suffer while the guilty escape penalties.

A Great Victory - But!

Commentary by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The Supreme Court's ruling on abortion was not a moral decision but a legal one, based on constitutional law. The morality of the nation remains untouched by this decision. Those whose immorality pushed for abortion continue to advocate for it, perhaps with even greater intensity and possibly more violence. God's judgment still hangs over the nation because, despite the change in federal ruling, the hearts of many people remain unchanged. Half of the citizens still believe it is acceptable to terminate pregnancies. While the law has shifted authority back to the states, the underlying moral conflict persists, and the war over this issue continues.

Jude and the Glorious Power of God
