Maybe they were not all Christian, but at least there was some sense of morality, of decent behavior, of good conduct. Evildoers were punished. People of all religions were accepted, never persecuted. Christianity was considered America's official religion. Most people were Christians.
With time, however, people, whose nature is to be self-serving, decided to break off the bonds which had kept them a moral nation, and began to search for ways of pleasing themselves. This is first especially noticeable in the "Roaring 20's", when people began to boldly challenge traditional morals, women began testing the waters with new, immodest dress. People began to really buck God's laws more than they ever had in American history. Decent society began the decline to the horrible muck pit we now see today.
This movement really progressed slowly, taking tiny little steps into the devil's den. Little things that may seem like small potatoes to us today, but were big steps to them, led them further from God. Their own wicked hearts kept them looking for pleasure. This decline continued throughout the next few decades, growing increasingly treacherous with each growing generation. "Free love", abortion, "safe sex", and other lies from the devil came stronger and stronger so that we have reached the place we are now.
Now, we have porn everywhere, it just isn't labeled that way. You can't go to the Wal-Mart without being exposed to porn. Just try to point this out. You will be VERY rudely laughed at and mocked by uncaring Wal-Mart employees. (Don't think Wal-Mart cares about ANYTHING or ANYBODY...) We have teen girls who think they have to dress like prostitutes to be cool. And, ladies, don't think it's just teens, I see plenty of women my age, my mother's age, even my grandmother's age, who dress worse than the teen girls. You can't even go to CHURCH without dealing with half-dressed women. People think absolutely nothing of living together, of having an affair, a one-night stand. People are so crude and foul-mouthed, so wicked.
I heard that at a recent NAARP meeting, Shirley MacLaine said that we are really too harsh and have no right to label anything as "evil", but that what one person might say is evil is completely rational to the person doing it. That we might called Muslim terrorists evil, but to them, what they are doing is right. This is the product of a collective nation with NO moral standard whatsoever. Popular opinion judges right and wrong. I would like to respectfully assert that if society were to run according to Shirley MacLaine's perspective, then people could murder anyone they were angry at, and suffer no consequences, parents could kill children who misbehave, men could rape any woman they want, siblings could kill each other, children could kill parents, parents could torture children, and any foul product of any wicked mind would be perfectly acceptable. Because the person always has a reason for what they do. A man desires a woman, she refuses him, he must have the right to rape her! A sibling takes a toy away, surely you have the right to take a knife and run them through! How about we send Shirley MacLaine to Indonesia or some hostile place and see how she enjoys what she sees? How long would a rich, spoiled rotten, selfish, lazy, high and mighty person like Shirley MacLaine like to look at the world from a REAL perspective??? Insane! Ludicrous!
Though she might have said it on a larger scale than most Americans would, she only brought out the general attitude of America. "I don't judge", is not a biblical notion comparable to "Judge not, and you will not be judged", it is a motto that basically rephrases, "Anything goes!" It simply means that you can do anything and get away with it. You can't.
While I'm on this topic, I would like to mention the Judge Samuel B. Kent, in Texas, who honestly needs to be in prison! This wicked, wicked man suppressed freedom of speech and religion with a very Communist sounding threat. A graduation was about to take place, and he told the high school students that they were forbidden to speak the name of Jesus in any way, shape or form at the graduation. He said a marshall would be present, and any student who mentioned the Lord would be held in contempt of court and go to jail for 6 months. He said that any student who thinks he is kidding is wrong, and that if they were to try him, he would make them wish they had died as a child. What? Did I accidentally make you think this happened in Communist Russia? In Hussein's Iraq? In Catholic Europe? No, here in the USA, in Texas! This judge should have been snatched up by his hair and dragged out of his office, a mob should have forced him out. Instead, like big babies, afraid to stand up, everyone bowed the knee to this little Hitler-like tyrant!
So, you people who want to whine about gas prices, about the economy, you want to blame Bush, look at this nation! Blame the wicked, selfish people in this nation! America's predicament is only America's fault! This nation is being judged by God. And all who think you can escape His hand, you are wrong!
