During the Reformation, the Protestants argued that the Church was not the final authority but rather the Bible was the final authority because it came directly from God. One of the really good things about this is that people turned to an authority that couldn't be degraded by greed or lust or power.
Today, America has moved toward the idea that those who lead our government are the ones that know what is right or wrong. But that is why we have a Constitution. We have a piece of paper that tells us how America should work and it can't be influenced by greed, lust or power. Do you think that this is the way that it should be? Granted: America will never be perfect because it is made up of imperfect people. I know that there is always talk about things being unconstitutional but I really think that that has just become a buzzword, after all most of us don't even know what the constitution says.
Do you know what it says? I don't.
