God vs. C&C (again)

this is an article I read that is… retarded but makes a descent point.
“Why do most American presidents place a hand on the Bible to take the oath of office? Secular education has made that a meaningless tradition, but the tradition exists because the Bible is the secret of America’s freedom. Forget the Bible and America will go the way of the first Protestant nation – Nazi Germany”
and
“The cancer at the heart of America’s political economy is cultural. This great nation was built by an ethic – a spirituality that taught citizens to work, earn, save, invest, and use their wealth to serve their neighbors. This biblical ethic has been replaced by secularism’s entitlement culture that teaches people that they have a right to this, that and the other without corresponding obligations to work, save, and serve. This new culture forces the state to take from productive citizens or borrow from other nations and spend it on man-made rights. This corruption of character is destroying the world’s greatest economy, but can democracy allow leaders to go against the voters’ voice?”

I agree that our nation is lacking ethic- that’s my major point of many of my arguments but I don’t think it has that much to do with the bible. or the lack of bibles. I think it’s a pop culture fight we’re against and I think people are liking the whole ‘live for free’ idea. and our busted economy helps people get away with it. like it’s easier to chill on unemployment or not to have a job when the economy is bad and ‘no one is hiring’.
but to say it all has to do with the bible is just retarded. look at other great nations, like Japan, that aren’t Christian based and are doing great. but he’d argue that Japan always hasn’t been great as if this is proof. and it’s not the point either. the point isn’t that we’re all Christians and do good because to claim every good American is Christian is insulting. I’m a good American and I’m not Christian. I could be better but the bible isn’t going to help me in that regard.
anyways, it’s time for me to be a good American and get ready for work. Yes, Vishal, I’m not Christian and I have a job. ooppps, you didn’t think about that- did ya?
