God-given moral sensibility breaking down in America, says actor Stephen Baldwin

Stephen Baldwin believes that the moral sensibility of Americans is deteriorating.

"The greatest value we can have as part of our integrity and our social and cultural well-being is a moral code," the 49-year actor said, as quoted by The Christian Post. However, he thinks that people's ability to determine the difference between moral and not has been declining steadily.

"When in California a boy that believes he's a girl inside has now been given the right to go and use the girl's facilities, I think that is a breakdown of our God-given moral sensibility," he said.

This begins when a small number of people makes a big enough impact to influence others.

"When the minority of people who we are making these changes for start to have such impact that it completely changes the direction of the majority of human beings and people in this country, I believe the balance has been thrown off," he said.

Baldwin was promoting the release of DVD/Video on Demand film "God's Club." In the movie, he portrays a high school teacher who relaunches the Bible Club that his late wife previously established. Unfortunately, not all parents are supportive, and they demand the club to disbanded, citing separation of church and state.

"Any one faith should never be part of the curriculum of a public school. That should never be mandatory," Baldwin's character Michael Evens says. "But a separation of church and state was never intended to be a separation from God. It was intended to prevent our government from ever deciding for us what we choose to believe."

Baldwin is the younger brother of actors Alec, Daniel and Billy. Apart from acting, he is also an author, director, producer and Christian evangelist. He appeared in Christian films like "Faith of Our Fathers" and "I'm in Love with a Church Girl," as well as mainstream ones like "Born of the Fourth of July" and "Lost Treasure."
