The things that used to be appreciated in America (marriage between a man and a woman, raising a family, hard work, etc) are now openly mocked. Now the people who have carried this country for decade after decade have been declared "bad people", and the street thugs and perverted gays are the things that people want our youth to look up to and emulate.

It won't always be that way. Soon enough, people will realize that what we always knew was right REALLY IS right, and things will turn around.

Happy Easter to ALL, especially those of you who THINK it doesn't apply to you! It does. Jesus is watching.
More self-righteous, unChristian rage. Gangbangers are an economic phenomenon. Out homosexuals - you'd rather they'd stayed in the closet so as not to sully your whitebread Cleaverian utopia? "declared 'bad people'," link please. Jesus was a liberal, why do you separate liberals from Christians?

Quibbles aside, the world has always been evil, Christians have always been not part of it. The things you're complaining about are superficial things - even the health of a nation is a vain thing to be concerned about. As for the souls of other people - if you're trying to save and lead by example you're going about it the wrong way - your anger is unChristian as well as misplaced.

The US is not a Christian nation.


Are some idiots out there ignorant of the meaning of "melting pot"?

So, for those of you who don't understand the celebration of Life that Christians are sharing with each other, the party is a come one come all event and every one who attends shall be given the greatest gift of life. I'll explain how to get an invitation to anyone who desires.

Maybe, for those of you who hate Christianity so much like the Jewish henchman Saul, I recommend that instead of standing outside the doors and yelling, open the doors and go in, maybe go back in. You might be surprised as Paul was.

President Obama, the United States is a Christian-based nation. The influx of non-Christians is what has changed.
I'm preparing to give our 4 legged friend nuttydog a stuffed easter bunny, I hope he enjoys it. Since we don't speak his language, bark, bark, bark, whimper, whine, we don't know what religion he is. It's too bad people aren't the same as dogs, otherwise, we would just see each other as, just another doggie, and not what religious affiliation each of us has.

Well the white man put the Native Americans on reservations and have to this date really supported anything they have done. They have broken all treaties that were signed with them decades ago. The US has given more to other minorities than to the Native People of this land. So for them to run their own businesses and be profitable good for them. At least they're still a Proud Nation.

Nuttydog probably accepts all comers as they are without wanting to change them.

He may be a Christian, and a better one than anyone could know.

Yes. maybe it's a good thing we don't understand his language, he'd probably have something to tell us.

Quite true.

We might not like what he has to say.

What a bizarre and garbled post. I guess you aren't aware of the Pagan origins of Easter. Maybe you should read up on the fertility symbols of eggs, rabbits and baby chicks and get back to us on your sweeping disapproval.
