The core of the problem here is that most Americans have this delusional idea that they have a God-given right to enjoy a standard of living they can’t afford.

That simply doesn’t work unless you have a massive government to hide all the costs they think they don’t have to pay.

That’s a given though. If we didn’t subsidize our economy via massive gov spending and debt the charade would be exposed. The entire point of government right now is to ensure the system keeps going and the status quo stays.

Agreed. There is a very real problem that we have that Christians have entirely abandoned American culture.

We all know the truth: Nature abhors a vacuum. So the willing absence of Christians produces what result? What will fill that vacuum?

And no I absolutely do not buy into the excuses. Christians were retreating prior to the modern persecution. That's what the timeline tells us.

So the willing absence of Christians in the culture produces what result? What do you expect will be the fruit of this particular tree. What will fill the vacuum?
