"I'm not happy with the idea of it [perverted rites in the name of God] being at church, but big deal."

Simply incredulous...

Tell me something -- do you feel a nation's morality is in anyway tied to it's greatness? OR is it irrelevant??

Oh for crying the hell out loud, now you're just making sh*t up, and putting words in my mouth. PLEASE show me in the article where these sex workshops are being done "in the name of God". You won't find it, because it isn't in there. The Church merely lent it's space out to a third pary, but it's not like this wacked-out crap is going on as part and parcle of it's regular religious services. Unless I misread the article, that is.(willing to make a concession I might have.) It's not like when I go to play Unreal Tournament at the space the Methodist church let us rent out every third Saturday that I'm gibbing people "in the name of Jesus Christ". That would be just plain silly.

Who's morality are we talking about? Just because someone likes kinky sex in the bedroom doesn't mean they aren't a moral, decent person in the most important matters. Just as someones professing to be a Christian doesn't instantly make them a just and moral person. I think the amount that Governments respect the individuals rights has a lot more to do with greatness than anything else.

So yes, a nation that can follow certain absolute morals, and respect the rights endowed by our Creator, is naturally going to do better than a group that doesn't...say, America vs. The Middle East. I just don't see dripping some candle wax on someone in the privacy of their own bedroom as tantamount to the destruction of the Republic. If I were you, I'd worry a little less about little things like that, and focus on the Big Picture: Like how the Federal Government has been stedily erroding away the Constitution since the days of FDR. Reverting to Socialism, that's what's killing this country more than anything....
