To me virtue is- following the government as far as we morally and Biblically can,
And that would not be very far under current circumstances! The governments of the world now encourage criminals to rampage all over the country, but arrest law-abiding citizens who question their evil policies. Anyhow Welcome, Lilygurl, and see how the Bible defines virtue (which is moral excellence or moral goodness).

Yes I agree- but to some extent. I believe that may in the police force and other's may not be blameless, but many of them have died protecting us. I also believe that there are a good many people working to uphold the civil safety. I do not like the fact that in court, it seems that the mindset has slowly become "guilty until proven innocent" but I also believe that the people we have put away have been deserving of it and were put there by the law and its upholders. Is that along the lines of what you were saying? I'm really just curious, I don't get the chance to speak in political standpoints hardly ever so it's nice to be able to discuss this-
