U.S. Has Established a State Religion: What Now for Christians?

[ialsop]

How can you be an agnostic and an unbeliever at the same time? Seems like a contradiction in terms.

This country is very far off base from the Christian principles upon which this country was founded. Having the government make legal gay marriages is just another step away from what the founding fathers envisioned. Given what has been happening in the USA recently, my humble opinion is that God is someday soon going to judge America and if He does not, then He will have to apologize to Sodam and Gomorrah.

Nothing wrong with gay people, and of course God loves everyone, and wants all to be saved but the word of God clearly teachs that same sex is an abomination to Him and legalizing this throughout the land is clearly a slap in God’s face. The Bible says that a man and woman shal be joined together in marriage. How clear is that. This is just one issue of many that with force God to one day judge the USA, and maybe that day is not far off.

That said, there are many Christians out there who pray everyday for their country and that is where hope lies. Many are silent, but I hope that there voice will be heard in the next election and we can change many of things the current administration has forced upon the majority.

I totally agree. Bad sign for our nation.

I just want to point out one thing: The founding fathers meant well, but they did a terrible job of making a nation based on Christian principles. Pagan imagery everywhere, all freemasons, not exactly he most Christian…but they meant well.

How is that a “contradiction in terms?” An agnostic is someone who has not taken a position on the existence of a god or gods. You can hardly call such a person a “believer.” So, they must be an unbeliever. (But not necessarily a dis-believer.)

Semantics, guys.

Lets everybody stick to the issue rather than questioning each others self label, shall we?

What would you say to churches that marry gay people. They seem to find harmony.

US Bishops actually condemned the SCOTUS decision in Lawrence v. Texas to forbid states from throwing gays in jail for commiting homosexual acts.

I would like to know why

1). You are condemning some states that persecuted gays, but NOT the countries that are juddering them or unlawfully jailing them right now such as the near East counties and Russia.

2). Just because some of the Churches are blessings same sex marriages, does that mean we should all copy them if we believe differently?

3). And finally, why is the LGBT group being intolerant of other people’s views, bullying those who disagree with them and making corporations, schools, toe the line toward their views despite religious or other convictions?

So of course we will face persecution if we disagree. Min what way, I don’t know, but I do believe despite everything we will still survive.

Napoleon once imprisoned a Pope, and told him he’d destroy the Church. The Pope replied, “You dear man, if all of the clergy and priests haven’t destroyed it for 2000 years, what makes you think you can?” And so it will go for our country, for Christians everywhere.
