This is what happens when you take God out of our schools, when you take God out of our cities, States and Country...
If this is what is happening, seems to me that God had better be allowed back into the lives of people...
And Amen to VaeVictis:
We maybe seeing what 1 Timothy 4:1-5 states: Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
I think it’s also what happens when religion tries to be hip and peddles the Ten Commandments as the Ten Suggestions.
It is not only a matter of taking God out of schools but also a matter of college graduates who have been without work for years, whose lives went up in smoke, and who were taught and believed that they were looked after by a caring and providential God.
If Trump could really bring back the jobs he promised, you will see the blooming of religious fervor in this country as you have never seen before. Those that have never been unemployed do not understand how many desperate people live in this country — to them, the unemployed are mere statistics. In this entire nation, jobs are still more important than Rinocare, taxes, etc(although they are interrelated) It is easy to talk and preach about God’s goodness but many of the unemployed scoff at the good news. To many unemployed, jobs are more precious than life itself. They would gladly give up their life if they could purchase a job with it for themselves or for a loved one. It is not that people stopped believing in the existence of God, but that they start questioning His relevance in this life.
