So, my fellow Christians, protest this film if you like, but then how about devoting some energy to fill the vacuum created by your retreat from popular culture.

But prosperity without a soul is like a corpse whose heart has stopped beating. There is no life, only consumption.

If we want to produce people who share the values of a democratic culture, they must be taught those values and not be left to acquire them by chance.

In a free society, government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top, they will have to live in different ways. Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence. They are a reflection of it.

The worst thing the federal government could do is to increase the size, reach and cost of government. If government failed in its response to the hurricane, the answer is not more inefficient government.

Another question a biblically literate reporter might have asked is, Why are you proclaiming the Ten Commandments when you believe no one can live up to all of them?

Asking politicians to give up a source of money is like asking Dracula to forsake blood.

No nation can survive without passing its heritage, language and, yes, faith to the next generation. A country must be built on something substantial and if the cultural elitists think it can be built on 'diversity,' that is a foundation of shifting sand.
