I asked this question because, it apparently isn't PC to even acknowledge God these days. Is the USA still one Nation under God or many different gods?
It would appear that the God of Christiananity is no longer welcome in the USA and we will suffer for the ignorance.
AND, revrandy, you are the one talking about getting your slaves gifts, and forcefully shutting up your wife, and citing Biblical verses all the while? Making Christians look bad? If you are, then I've got the right "reverend".
That was me. The intent of that post/thread was to point out the blatant hypocrisy of some folks as they "selectively" choose to adhere to only some parts of the Bible and not others.
It would appear that the God of Christiananity is no longer welcome in the USA and we will suffer for the ignorance.
I disagree. The God of Christianity is welcome in the US; so is the God of Islam, the God of Judaism etc. How that leads to suffering is beyond me. To me the suffering would occur if we let ignorant Americans win and make the US a theocracy when the founding fathers clearly established it as a republic.
Christs Kingdom is not of this world.........PERIOD

as a nation we've thrown out the one true God for one of our own creation...
