Even in a society of unbelievers (say, in Communist China or Vietnam, or the Czech Republic or Estonia) people can marry intending an exclusive, faithful, mutually benevolent, fruitful, lifelong union, and if they do, they and their next generation, and society in general, will reap many of the rewards of a strong "mariage culture" even without the blessed or Sacrmental forms of marriage.
I'm no saying religious faith is irrelevant. Not at all. There is a positive correlation between religious faith and a marriage culture. But my point is that even the irreligious can marry; and if they do, it holds rewards for them, their chiuldren, and their society.
There are some problems with Cahn’s theories, but if Cahn is correct, the next (final?) judgement on America will come in 2015... approximately, again, Sept 11.
It’s a seven year cycle.
Well said.
Yes, maybe so. The main point to me is that God's protection has been removed and we are therefore vulnerable without this in place.
When and how? Who knows, but it is just a matter of the details.
