: my thoughts are simply, "what else would you expect?" We are told that Christians will face persectution. And we are told that as we approach the last days things will get worse. So why do Christians constantly lament the fact that this so-called Christian nation isn't anymore? The truth of the matter was that it never was really. It was merely the political fashion of the day to acknowledge some religiosity when the nation was formed. Just like every president claims some religious affiliation regardless of how they live or what they practice.
: Further, it isn't really all that bad here. I can pray at work. I can talk about God. And when I graduated high school, a scant 7 years ago, we prayed and talked about God all the time. We must be careful not to take our worldview from the news media.
: Plus over it all, God is still in control, and though the wicked seemingly prosper for a time, they won't overtake us. In fact, I'd rather live in a nation where being a Christian meant something, than in one where everyone claimed to be and then went ahead and did whatever they felt like anyway.
I can't add anything to that, it was perfect.
