Nothing new under the sun. As we have turned our backs to God, so he will turn His face from us, and we will pay the consequences.

It’s more than the schools. It’s the culture. TV, movies, and the internet. Hang around on a site where kids are, and eventually someone will be mocked for believing in their imaginary friend.

Like it or not, the Catholics are kind of a standard bearer for Christianity. And the whole clergy pedophilia and cover up did very serious damage to all of Christianity.

In 2009, After a 13 year absence, I returned to the Catholic Faith.

I have discovered a HUGE lurch to the left among the priests along with many of the lay people.

I believe this ‘going over to the dark side’ has driven many away from Christian Churches.

First, I agree that the concept of consolidated public education is merely a front for State Indoctrination. Public schools are only valid so long as the school reflects the moral values of the community. The moment, the state or the federal government add their greasy touch, we have indoctrination not education.

Second, The embrace that our Churches have shown for the progressive movement has turned into a kiss of death for many.

Finally, these declining numbers may not reflect a rejection of Christianity, but a failure to teach Christian Principals in the home.
Many have and will find their way to Christian belief, but I am unsure that it will be brought to them by the currently organized churches as many seem to have become like government, institutions onto their own aggrandizement.

As Christianity (which is the bedrock foundation for the mral principles that undergird our Declaration of Indepndence and Constitution) declines...America declines.

If Christianity is rendered to the sidelines and becomes moot...then America as a free, God-fearing, God-recognizing (as the founders made clear “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable rights...”) and prosperous nation will end.

Plain and simple as that.

I totally agree. I fail to see how conservatives can justify exposing their children to the biggest, most well-funded, most powerful Liberal oppresion and endoctrination machine in the world.

Conservatives could do more for the longterm future of this country, in particular to defund the Leftist agenda at the personal level, by taking their kids out of government schools en masse this year than by anything that could happen in the presidential election.

A society that celebrates television shows that feature cursing toddlers (”Modern Family”) is no longer one that honors or espouses the tenets of Christianity.

The United States was founded largely through Christianity by Christians.
I believe the nation cannot sustain itself with that founding element removed.

In the sixties America’s yutes turned against God, too.

The radicalism that elected Obama will die when the lies and soullessness of social radicals are politically exposed and slayed - once again. That includes the amoral, atheist libertarians who have captured the hearts and minds of America’s young for a short season in the name of “logic” that is easily exposed as not logical at all in light of the reality of human nature and natural law.

I was born to two Christian parents. During my youth, I went every Sunday to church, joined both the choir and the hand-bell group, and participated in the youth programs. When I went to college, I attended Christian services next to campus. I joined my future wife's church, their choir, and the property committee where I help finish building the chapel in which we were married.

Then I joined the Worship committee. Big mistake. I had a concept of what Christian behavior was supposed to be from more than 25 years of example. What I witnessed in that committee was shattering. It opened my eyes to the sin that lives in the bosom of that Christian church.

It was downhill from there. I tried different churches, but when I looked behind the scenes I saw the same unchristian activity. That's when I stopped going to church completely -- I couldn't stand the hypocrisy.

Today, I'm a Member of the Church of the Bathroom Mirror: if you don't like the person you see every morning, then you change that person for the better. The central principle of the Church lies in the Golden Rule.

Earlier today, I saw the results of a poll that asked "What created the Universe, God or the Big Bang?" I was amused that my answer was not an option: "The Big Bang was the tool used by the Great Architect to build this place." As for the Bible, I've been spending so much of my life with a technical translator that I recognize that the original Word of God has been corrupted by mistakes, if not by outright manipulation, to compound the misunderstanding caused by the drift and evolution of the meaning of words.

Why do Christians look outwards to the actions of their neighbors when their own actions go against the teachings of Jesus? Or perhaps you forget Matthew 7:5? "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye."

18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

This was started at the time of Voltaire-—and culminated in Europe with the Postmodernists “God is Dead”. Marxism and Darwinism-—where they converge—God is killed. You can not hold two opposing ideas in your mind.

You can not tell children “sodomy is good” and there is a God. Can’t do it—God and the Bible go. Can’t have “Gay Pride” and belief in the Bible. The bible goes. Gone! Sexual fun is more alluring. Sins of the Flesh are the most seductive when you expose it to young immature children. They gain power away from the adults around them and they are selfish by nature.

French Revolution epitomized godlessness—no Christianity. Germany in the Weimar Republic-—they ridiculed and mocked Christianity. By 1919 their media was putting out vulgar, homoerotica and homosexual boy scout troups were formed with no outcry from most parents. Boys were having sex orgies in the woods (sodomy) nd that was ok. Christianity was weakened and destroyed——only a few like Bonhoeffer spoke out and they were hanged.

John Dewey-—kicked out Moral Absolutes and God from public schools by the 30’s. Prior to that QUOTES of the Bible were memorized by children. God and Our Lord and Jesus were IN THE CURRICULA.

Why? We had Fabian Socialists that came into the US in 1880’s and invaded all our elite universities and the Cultural Marxists set out to march through and control all our institutions-—destroy them one by one. Get control of education first...and the media. By 1930 they had control of both and Foundations (Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegie) and publishing houses——IDEAS WERE TOTALLY CONTROLLED. (With very little truth getting through in small towns. AP’s were controlled by Leftists).

McCarthy was vilified by the Press (lied about) and he basically drank himself to death-—his reputation was totally destroyed—this WWII hero and godfather of RFK kids—his career was destroyed—Why—because he told the truth about the mass infiltration of Communists in our State Dept. and policy making areas. Can’t expose the infiltration and wake up America. So he was silenced and the takeover continued not only STOPPED but now people were conditioned to think that if someone dare claim “communist”—they would be vilified, labeled and destroyed. (like what happens with homosexuality now—DARE say it is evil-—and wham! You’re vilified and gone). Total control of ideas allowed in the public square for kids to eat up.

Curricula—was centralized. Ideas transmitted to your children controlled by psychologists (BF Skinner) and the Prussian school system-—set up for Mass indoctrination and Brainwashing (they use humiliation and drugs for those who think outside the box). It’s subtle-—don’t get me wrong-—Strands are targeted at those “smart” kids who don’t think correctly-—(sodomy is good) and they are forced psychologically to think sodomy is good and there is no God). You can not think both-—cognitive dissonance which is what KGB designed and targeted in US schools in the 30’s-—used to destroy cognitive function of children and for brainwashing.

DESTROY DOE and public school textbooks.

Legal system was destroyed by the Communists—right from Stalin’s constitution—Separation of Church and State——Comes from Marx. “Non profit status, also-—control information”.

They kicked out Natural Law Theory as our Foundation of Law.....so that we can leave Logic and Reason (Foundation of Just Law) and have irrational laws-—like “homosexual marriage”, women have to work outside the home when they have small babies-—to create emotionally damaged children (Lenin)....they destroyed marriage by destroying the contract of marriage (Lenin did that too).

This has been a 100 year plan—conspiracy, yes. It did NOT happen overnight but we could stop it if everyone took control of their own children and grandchildren. Their formative years are crucial-—Lenin understood that—it is why he put women to work and took all the babies and established day cares—to form the worldview of the next generation....and that he did. He created in one generation little immoral hedonist marxists believing in no God.

It is already affecting America. Just look around, read the papers, watch TV, watch movies, listen to the conversations and on an on. America is today’s Sodom and Gomorrah.

We really need a revival in America. Christ followers, we need to be bringing shalom to the world—showing our neighbors there is no need for government to take the place of a loving community of believers.

I am striving to be a better neighbor when I see someone in need. Changing hearts and minds is key to being the people God wants us to be.

Without a doubt, America is becoming a less "Christian" nation. This has staggering implications for the future of this country. The United States was founded primarily by Christians that were seeking to escape religious persecution. For those early settlers, the Christian faith was the very center of their lives, and it deeply affected the laws that they made and the governmental structures that they established. So what is the future of America going to look like if we totally reject the principles that this nation was founded on?

I once again point out this utterly utilitarian justification of religious belief.

The religious beliefs of the settlers and founders of the United States is an interesting historical fact (just as is the religious beliefs of the founders of all other countries), but it has nothing to do with what is the One True Religion.

Every single human being has the obligation to seek out, acknowledge, and obey the One True G-d. One does not do this by merely adhering to the religion of the founders of one's country (else there would be a different "one true religion" for every nation on earth!).

George Washington was a great man, but he did not create the universe. Seek out the True G-d, and you can't do that by merely seeking to share George Washington's religious beliefs.

As more churches water down Theology and its application to daily life, more people conclude there is no point in going to church, just to be told “you can make it up as you go along”.

The liberal “Catholic” church, 1 mile from me, is medium size and never more than half full.

The Traditional Catholic church, 5 miles from me, is very large and always full to overflowing!
People are thirsty for the Truth!

Excellent article and I agree with the removing children from public schools.

Those who advocate that Christians should stay in them and try to fix them have been proved wrong. It’s been decades that the public education system has been broken and all the efforts to fix it has failed.

That’s why people have turned to homeschooling. It’s the only way to protect your children from what this article is addressing since the public schools have become the indoctrination arm of the secular state.
