Glenn Beck: 'The Founders Used The Bible As The Compass' For Writing The Constitution

On his radio program today, Glenn Beck took a call from a young woman who said that though she is not yet old enough to vote, she would support Ted Cruz if she could because he is the only candidate who "makes the Bible his compass and bases his standards on something that is unchangeable."

Beck replied that people don't actually have to use the Bible as their compass because the Founding Fathers wove the Bible directly into the Constitution and so if we just follow the Constitution, we will be following God's will as well.

"You don't necessarily have to use the Bible as you compass," Beck said, "because the founders used the Bible as the compass to enact the laws of the Constitution. The laws, the amendments are all based on natural law and God's law. So, our politicians, all they need to do is use the Constitution as their compass and they'll be in line with nature's God and nature's laws."
