No God, no morality

Longtime Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno has been fired for improper action related to the molestation of children by one of his assistants.
Though Paterno has been a champion of education and sports, his seemingly indifference to the lowest of criminal activity is unforgivable. It is symptomatic of progressive secularism eroding the Christian-based moral values of American culture Paterno and hundreds who protested his discharge demonstrate the moral standard decay.
Without moral standards, feelings rule society. Good becomes what we like and evil what we dislike. If we wish only to feel good, secularism is great. But if we wish to be good, it is terrible.
