My Pastor says that our society would have a lot more morals if we got rid of the liberal, US Constitution.

Have you actually READ the Constitution? There's nothing wrong with it. It has only been misinterpreted by insane Liberals looking for personal power.
If we were to substitute the Bible FOR the Constitution [you got that backwards!!!] we'd be Israel. Dumb idea.

I doubt that your pastor really says that. I think that this another attack on religious people. Your question is phrased wrong. It should be phrased. "Shouldn't we substitute the Bible for the constitution?" to agree with the second statement.
However to answer your intended question. No.. The liberal U.S. Constitution is what allows all of us the freedom to worship as we wish. Without the Bill of Rights, we wouldn't have much freedom at all. American is a secular nation with a fair amount of professing Christians. Morals have more to do with personal behavior and belief, and a lot less to do with a governmental document.

Sadly America is not a Christian Nation, it is a Theistic Nation. For the nation was founded on Godliness but it has gotten away from that into liberal theism. Now we have no real Spiritual anchor and there are those tryign to strip even the little that is left away from us. But that is in fact largely the fault of the Christians. We have failed to pray for the Nation and its leaders, except during times of extreme duress. It is time for the Christians to rise up and make our voices and our values heard. Stand up for what you believe and let the Government know that we are not going to let the liberals push their views on us. The Body of Christ has been silent too long it is time to raise our voices in one accord and call sin sin, and let it be known that we are against it. We need to insist that Schools allow prayer and the Bible. Muslims are now pushing for classes on the Quran in shcools if they can have that then the Bible should be restored to classrooms as well. And some school systems are doing away with pork products to keep from offending the Muslims, funny we have had Jews here a lot longer than Muslims and they never got the schools to do aay with Pork. Yet the Muslims are making our government do as they wish. I say if they want special diet for their kids let them open Muslim schools and keep their children out of the Public Schools, or let them go back to a Muslim country!

No.America is a secular country that uses the word God when it's convenient or advantageous.
Your pastor should go back and read his Bible more careful.
Jehovah has always given free will.We are not bigger than Jah.
Tell your pastor we Jehovah's Witnesses offer Bible studies for those who wish to know the accurate knowledge of the Bible.
Just contact his local Kingdom Hall or answer the door the next time we knock on the door instead of hiding.1 Tim.2:4.

Thank G-d the founding fathers allowed for freedom of speech! Your pastor is misguided in thinking the constitution should be replaced. It doesn't hurt for people to follow the Bible's teachings, as the new testament clarified so much for us and even the Ten Commandments are the basis for the world's legal system, from Hammurabi on down).
Just remember two things: Love G-d with all your heart and Love your neighbor as yourself.

usa isn't a Christian united states of america, it in order that happens that a good style of the electorate are Christian. usa believes in non secular freedom, that we can pick to worship whoever or regardless of we could desire to. If the form have been swapped for the Bible, we does no longer be from now on than the people interior the Salem witch trials. could you incredibly need your Christian associates to coach on you and kill you simply by fact they theory that what you probably did wasn't sufficient to delight God? The Bible could desire to be interpreted to grant justification to deliver American impact into each united states of america interior the international. that could recommend that usa could have justification for taking on the international and killing each non-Christian. after all, God killed all non-Christians interior the story of Noah's ark, so why could no longer usa do an identical interior the call of God? additionally, women could be demoted to an identical social place they have been at 1000 years in the past. No balloting, no pastime, that they had in basic terms stay at abode and shield the infants. No, usa is larger as a rustic of non secular freedom, with the form as our government and not the Bible. to boot, i do no longer think of the Bible provides a shape for a Democratic Republican government. :D

America is not a Christian nation. They just think they are. Who are you kidding? Get rid of liberals? LOL. It would be great if people would actually read the Bible and obey it. Most of America already fights the Constitution, do you think they would just bow down and act differently to the Bible? Well, I guess you can dream.......

Stop telling lies on your Pastor.
Your Pastor would know that the Bible is filled with loads of ancient tradition and customs, mixed with a little Egyptian culture and pagan practice.
It's impossible to use the Bible as a Constitutional tool; you will be so confused that you may just hang yourself.

Your "pastor" dose not know The Word then does he.... Only God may install The Church over man... and that will not happen untill Christ returns for the thousand years after the Tribulation.... and even then many will not follow Him.
The US is not, and never has been, a "Christian" nation... and God help us if any man manages to come even close to making it so.... because it would then be even further from God.

Do you people ever proof read, lol you make yourself look stupid. The founding fathers made it a POINT to not involve religion with government affairs. If you do not understand the reasons for that you should go and study the history of Europe and the Middle East going back about 1500 years.
