Letter to the editor: God and judicial activism

The Supreme Court is our instant replay booth. Votes should be 9-0 maybe 8-1, never 5-4. In football, even opposing sides generally agree.

Judicial activism is when a call changes after hundreds of years. All of a sudden in the 1960s, it was discovered, that the Bible and prayer didn’t belong in our schools. In the next decade it was discovered that killing babies in their mothers’ wombs was a “right.” Recently the calls have OK’d same-sex marriage and assorted gender identity issues.

All of this is judicial activism. The call went one way for centuries then, “golly!” — it changed. The common theme of judicial activism is to demote the God whose blessings we’ve asked for and received since our founding. Those applauding the changes believe that religion is childish myth and has no place in an enlightened world. The massive hole in their logic is that the science in which they trust declares in stark finality that evolution is a statistical impossibility. Couldn’t have happened.

The design and irreducible complexity of what we know required a creator. History’s lesson is that any nation that turns its back on God doesn’t long endure.
