‘...and that humility comes only when we see that law rooted in God and every person created in His image.’
I understand and respect the faith that goes into believing a statement like that, but it is needlessly limiting in its assessment of the human capacity for moral codes bolstered by such as humility...atheists can be as humble, and moral, as any theist, and both can be as arrogant and amoral as they can possibly be...
It is auto-theists (believing you are a god yourself) and can create the proper rules for all mankind.
Claims for reparations are claims that blacks are victims, and that they deserve to be made happy. But if your self-worth depends on being a victim, you cannot allow yourself to be happy. And your unhappiness makes you dangerous; no one can think that a suicide bomber is happy. Or that a happy person can be a suicide bomber.Dennis Prager makes the point that “Happiness is a moral virtue.” And that feeling follows action - you will feel happy if you act happy, even if acting happy is the last thing you feel like doing at the time.
His book on the subject is
- Happiness Is a Serious Problem:
- A Human Nature Repair Manual
The five-minute Cliff Notes version is found at Prager University.
If you have time for the 52 minute version, I recommend it in preference.
