The “God thing” isn’t going to happen for the majority.
Praying isn’t an economic decision or strategy.

Greater production and less governmental spending are policies.

Self-reliance and hard work are decisions that can help the economy.

Though that has as much chance as praying does with our current society and demographic shift.

The “God thing” isn’t going to happen for the majority.

It will when things get bad enough. The "God thing" creates the appropriate values for all of the positive things you said. Without Him, it doesn't. Or, just live with it.

Why does everyone who wants the ‘God thing’ to happen in politics or the culture always assume it will be *their* version of ‘God’ that is the one?

I don’t want a ‘Christian Nation’ because I don’t want an ‘Islamic’ Nation or a ‘Satanic Nation’. I want a nation where the Constitution is followed to the degree that a Christian, Islamist, Satanist, Sikh, Jew, or Pastafarian can worship freely and follow their faith without the ability to force anyone else to abide by that faith.

There’s nothing wrong and much that is right with a person following the Lord and reaping the blessings, of course.

Try reviewing your Revolutionary War History my FRiend.

What isn't talked about much, is the fact, that George Whitefield, and others, were having a MASSIVE Revival just prior to the war.

Rev. Whitefield was preaching, regularly, to outdoor crowds of 30,000+.

This revival swept up and down the eastern seaboard, and into the interior.

Don't count out God yet!
