The Year of the Bible

Rep. Paul Broun's choice of words, "The Year of the Bible" may have sparked criticism and perhaps were not the best choice, but his motivation should be applauded. Any religion, belief or non belief cannot deny the fundamental good that is recorded in the pages of scripture. Whether we are Christians, Muslims or even atheists, learning from history is beneficial for all. If the founders of our Constitution had acted with repulsion to including recognition of the Bible as a cornerstone for our nation we would be sadly a different people today. Yes in this time our Congress has many important issues to tackle. The time they spend on these issues should warrant priority. But if we as a nation continue to put God, the Bible or moral beliefs on the back burner they will soon be unrecognizable. We deserve more than that. God deserves more than that.
