no.
right. it used to be outlawed when Christians still dominated the nation. Crime rates were far far lower at that time also. It used to be that if a serial killer killed say 6 people he would become one of the most infamous criminals of all time (jack the Ripper) or bank robbers made national news for years and years (bonnie and clyde). jese James was an absolute angel compared to the murderous monsters that infect all of our big cities today.
Crime rates began their skyrocketing when the socialist agenda began to dominate the culture beginning with LBJ's great Society program.
Part of the problem was that so many men who came back from WWII were completely detached from their famileis and society. their fight had been sapped and drained and they no longer had the will to fight for the ulture back home. So when the communists began to foment unrest within the hippie anti-war movement they were stunned at how readily the rich kid hippies took to their marxist ideals and began to rpomote them for themselves.
Socialism cannot survive in a nation of Christians. That is why Christianity has been marked for destruction.
civil war may erupt as this nation becomes more balkanized. But the vast majority of so-called Christians are not up to the fight.
If Christians will not give their lives for the liberty and individual rights of others then nobody will.
Nobody ever has before. nobody. All liberties in the world today are the direct or indirect product of Christianity.
agreed.
