Also? Now is a good time to get out of Sodom and Gomorrah-like places and don't look back.
Get it together. History is readying to repeat.

The Stockpile Song
Take the flag down from the place
where it led the human race.
Run up U.N. white and blue.
That’s what your “leaders” want to do.
They don’t seem to understand
we are a patriotic band.
So spread the word across the land
and stockpile weapons while you can.
Public schools were first to go.
They’re run by leftists as you know.
So school your children safe at home
far from the propaganda zone.
For they don’t want to understand
we are a family loving band.
So spread the word around the land
and stockpile knowledge while you can.
Stage and screen and on T.V.
they’re mocking God in all we see.
They may close your church some day
but they can’t stop us when we pray.
For they refuse to understand
we are a Jesus loving band.
So spread the word across the land
and stockpile Bibles while you can.
Somewhere there near your hometown
professor’s robe or judge’s gown,
there is a leftist who must go.
So lock and load and let them know.
For time will come they’ll understand
we are a patriotic band.
So spread the word across the land
and stockpile weapons while you can.

Vain hate of God, a nation running out of option is gnashing teeth and priding itself as it further falters into meaninglessness and incapacity to correct itself.
Was in a COSTCO and was buying boxes of some stuff to store and said," Praising Jesus," and you should have seen the heads jerk and actual scowls and laughter of my "extremist" views of storing a bit of food and praising the Lord.
I was probably a little loud because I was talking to my pastor( happenstance meet?). It was creepy the smirks and head snaps. I think I was profiled! Praise the Lord and Hallelujah! It was a very weird moment of clarity.
I don’t know if I would use the word “abhor” or “hate”.
It seems more like a nonchalant “I don’t care if there is a God or not. I’ll go about my own things in my own way.
The problem is — they wouldn’t have the ability to do even that if God were not present.
God’s waits for all sinners to return to him. How long must humanity make Him wait?
I was born in the fifties too. In the media, in entertainment, and principally on the left, the aborhance for God is real and very much the majority view. They have always felt this way...they just feel that they can become more vocal and open about and so they do.
And they lie...they lie all the time to the point that the got

To most people, as a result, it looks like society as a whole has faltered and accepted this.
But, by and large, it hassn’t.
Thos folks on the left, in the media, entertainment, etc. are themselves the minority and remain so.
They have been and continue to try and make their beliefs the “main stream,” and particularly throught their control of teachers union and ecucation.
But the evidence is that the people do not like or want that and so you have strong majorities of people who want public school vouchers and choice in school so they can avoind this.
So it is with almost every major left inspired issue.
I work as an Engineer in a very technoical profession. 90% of the people I work with, deal with at vendors and othr companies, assciate with, and know believe in God and respect Him...evn if they themselves (as we all are sinners) do things not in keeping with His principles. They still know Him, His moral values, and understand when they do wrong, and for the most part are sorry for it and try to do better...and they are...

That’s why America is still free, and despite trillionsof wasted dollars, and horrible entratainment choices (thought there are still plenty of decent ones for two reasons 1) There are good, decent people in music, movies, TV, radio, etc. and 2)Even those who hate God, realize they can make money off of films and other entertainment that cater to the majority of people to this day.
So, while things are much more in your face than they were before, and though more and more decrepid behavior is

AMERICA AT THE CROSSROADS OF HISTORY

P4L
"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." Proverbs 14:34
There are two kinds of rejection that have very different origins, so need to be examined from two points of view.
The first was a reaction to oppressive religion. This happened in the US starting in the 1940s, when religion had entered the public sphere and forced the petty and vindictive goals of *individuals*, *in the name of religion* on those not part of their sect or clique.
In many cases this was “Protestant on Protestant”, and “Protestant on Catholic” oppression. Many small towns were “lorded over” by cliques of one sect that socially oppressed others and built up a huge reservoir of resentment.
This radically changed because of one man, the acting president of Indiana University, Herman B. Wells, who took what amounted to a rural, sectarian, corrupt, seminary school and turned it into a world class university right in the heart of the Bible Belt. And in doing so, he indirectly sponsored the Kinsey institute, to a great extent responsible for the “sexual revolution”, another revolt against the hypocritical morality of the times, as well as giving a huge impulse to the early Civil Rights movement, against the widespread segregation in the North.
Importantly, what was overthrown was decadent and corrupt, and used religion as an excuse for innumerable sins and vice, maintaining a dying but vile social order.
Truthfully, religion was much healthier returning to its faith and righteousness after this collapse of the old order. Clergy were once again clergy, and the sectarian cliques fell apart when they were seen as just nasty people without piety.
The other form of rejection is more modern, and it has no legitimate underpinnings, only hate and fanaticism. It is closer to mental illness and is truly described by its bitter, burning hatred, of not just religion and God, but also of the faithful, pious and happy.
It finds its satisfaction in liberal-leftist socialism and atheism. But it is not content with just having personal beliefs, it wants to and seeks to destroy everything that is beneficial, pleasant, balanced and joyous.
I read a bizarre example of this sickness in another forum, which had the typical “Is Obama the Antichrist?” nonsense. An Obama supporter, rhetorically backed into a corner, blurted out that he wished Obama *was* the Antichrist.
What? Because if Obama was the Antichrist, then he would give his followers what they wanted, and more importantly, attack and destroy the people his followers hated.
He would be “powerful”.
This puts a new perspective on how aberrant such people can be. This is not just rejection, as such, but mental illness.
A few days before the event, I thought it would be a good opportunity to compare the similarities of abuses between then and now so I wrote two pages, made some copies and yesterday left them on the table of handouts.
A few weeks before, I was visiting Tom in his office and he showed me a roster of Ben Franklin's fire company which included Philadelphia's movers and shakers of the day. One of them was a businessman named Wright.
As I was going through the file of documents associated with the members of the Fire Company, I saw a receipt signed by Edw Wright for a shipment of goods to London, dated 18th of October 1741.
It's right next to me now. Tom lent it to me so I could include a copy of it in the information I wanted to share with his audience. It serves as further proof that Early American devotion to God was strong and extended even into business. It reads:
Shipped by the Grace of God in good Order and well conditioned, by Joseph Paschall of Philadelphia in and upon the good ship called the EarndWright Constantine whereof is Master under God for this present Voyage and now riding at Anchor in the River Dellaware and by God's Grace bound for London To say one chest of furrs & skins on the proper amount & Risque of the Shipper & goes consigned to Lawrence Williams Mercht There
Being marked and numbered as in the Margent, and are to be delivered in the like good Order and well conditioned at the aforesaid Port of London (the Danger of the Seas excepted) unto Lawrence Williams or to his Assigns, he or they paying Freight for the said Goods four pounds with Primage and Average accustomed. In Witness wherof, the Master or Purser of the said ships hath affirmed to four Bills of Lading, all of this Tenor and Date; the one of which four Bills being accomplished, the other three to stand void. And to God send the good ship to her defined Point in safety, Amen. Dated in Philadelphia this 18th of October 1741
The words in bold were handwritten in the printed bill of laden but all references to God and the ending prayer are included in the pre-printed form as the accepted practice of business in those days. I am not sure if I interpreted the name of the ship correctly.
Would that our Country turns back to such a reliance on our God who blesses US richly merely for returning His love and accepting His Son, Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.
Today’s times require a St. Bernard of Clairvaux not a St. Francis of Assisi.
“I fear this guilty land can only be purged with blood.” —John Brown
The 1950s were a high point for churchgoing but behind the scenes they also saw widespread secularization which would have political consequences in the 1960s. After Vietnam, riots and protests, Watergate, recession, gas shortages, and inflation, the 1970s and 1980s saw a return to religion that became quiet strong by the turn of the century. To be sure, people weren't always moral in their behavior, but in terms of professed belief in God we were more religious than most other industrialized countries.
This same pattern goes back into the 19th century: repeated revivals or awakenings followed by periods of slackening of religious faith and feeling. Now we're in one of those periods of reaction against religion. It will affect the country, but it won't last forever, if only because misfortune brings people back to religion, at least in the US.
