God and Government

I believe that there is a direct correlation between America's misconception of government and its perceived lack of need for a savior or the 10 commandments. Millions believe that we are a democracy which is a rule by people. The founders feared this and formed us into a Republic which is rule by law. These laws were based on the 10 commandments. In a democracy the people do what is right in their own eyes. In a republic they follow a set of laws formed by those chosen by the people. When we began to flush this idea of being a republic we also flushed the laws of God as well. Until we return to a republican form of government we will never recognize our need for God and his laws.
