Interesting take you have of the subject. Everyone is accountable for their individual sins, but what the author of this article is pointing out, is the sins of a nation.

Abortions, homosexuality, pornography etc. Since we are a Nation of the People for the People, a republic of democrative nature, then we the people are responsible for the actions of our government. It is us that stood by and allowed God to be removed from our Schools, politicians who listened to a mere minority in passing laws that allow abortions, tolerance of homosexuality and pornography and every other sins committed by our leaders in the name of our Nation. And yes, this nation has accomplished much in the way of helping others in times of need and other acts of goodness, but the evilness of murdering millions of innocent unborn lives, tip the scales to being a nation of evil and ungodliness.

Yes but the list of sins pointed out by the author... abortions, pornography, violence, sexual immorality etc....she is talking about the sins individuals are committing in this nation.

Now the author (and those who agree with her) also commit their share of sins, but you better believe that they don't include their own sins among those they publically list as to blame for 6000 Americans being slaughtered.
Why not?

Because like the Pharisees they condemn sins of others while denying their own.

The key issue I see is this;
While God may remove his protection from individuals and nations as a form of judgement for their sins....I don't profess to know which tragedies are the result of judgement, or for which specific sins they are for.

And those who claim they do are simply opportunists exploiting this incredible crime for their own self-righteous purposes.
Perhaps they will only understand when someone commits a crime against them, and others respond by telling them it is really God judging them for their sins.
