How Can We Have Moral Direction If God Controls Everything?

[Ahriman]

No.......things like food, water, shelter, clothing........having those things is a right. And apparently atheists don't always have the "right" to run for office.

You failed Civics, didn't you?

I attended Catholic schools throughout my childhood and adolescence. We didn't have Civics, but we did have Social Studies, a class in which we learned about our God given rights, and how all other people, including non-Catholics, had the same rights. We also learned how we should behave in relation to the world, and were encouraged to take an active part in the world, through evangelization, conservation of nature, donating to food shelters, etc.
