Way to go Snipe (a term I haven’t heard since my U.S.C.G. days)! You are the winner here. The moral problem almost always proceeds all the other problems. When we/our nation abandoned God’s truth we opened ourselves to believe any lie that came down the pike. Actually, we as individuals and as a nation lose our “meter” to gauge good vs evil. That’s how Obama was elected. That’s also how George W. Bush was elected. This isn’t a Republican vs Democrat thing. This is evidence of the cosmic battle being played out in the lives of real people with horrible and eternal consequences. Unless we find our way back to the Creator and soon your tag line will be our epitaph. Maybe hard times will wake us up but I’m not optimistic.
BTW it was LBJ as a U.S. Senator who fired the first government shot at churches. It was his amendment to the Tax Code which prohibited churches who were Non Profit Orgs to speak out politically. He did so to silence his opposition in Texas.
