The spiritual reason, I grasp. (I won’t say “understand”. I don’t understand that level of self-hatred & I don’t want to.) I think it is willful (blindness) for some people, but weakness & naivety for others. (The end result is the same.)
Even to this day, though, I guess I cling to believing in the America that once was & don’t want to accept that it is really, truly, finally gone. You just explained what has happened to us, yes, but also our laws now mean nothing.
I believe that there will be a great awakening in both the former ‘Christendom’ and Asia and Africa before Jesus returns. Unfortunately for the 1st world countries, like those in Europe, Australia, US, Canada, etc., I believe that it will take a severe crisis, where we become dependent on the Lord, rather than ourselves.
Africans come to the Lord much easier because they have nothing left to depend on, they are mostly already at the ‘end of themselves’, so God is their ‘only chance’. We (the 1st world) only come to Him after all other means are used up, as a ‘last chance’. He may soon bring us to the level of Africa.
