In 1973 the Supreme Court said it was OK to kill unborn babies. Since then, we have killed more than the entire population of Canada. And it continues. A woman's choice? Half of those who have died in their mothers' wombs have been women. They didn't have a choice. It is called abortion.
Me? I go to church, the minister preaches, I go home. That's what Christians do now.
First it was in dingy, dirty theaters. Then, convenience stores. Then, grocery stores. Then on television. Now it is in the homes of millions via the Internet. It is called pornography.

They called it no-fault. Why should we blame anyone when something so tragic happens. Haven't they already suffered enough? Half of the marriages in America end this way. The children suffered. The family broke down. It is called divorce.

At one time it was a perversion. We kept it secret. We secured help and hope for those who practiced it. Now it is praised. We have parades celebrating it, and elected officials give it their blessing. Now it is endowed with special privileges and protected by special laws. Even some Christian leaders and denominations praise it. It is called homosexuality.

It used to be an embarrassment. A shame. Now a third of all births are to mothers who aren't married. Two-thirds of all African-American children are born into a home without a father. The state usually pays the tab. That is why we pay our taxes, so that government can take the place of parents. After all, government bureaucrats know much better how to raise children than parents do. It is called illegitimacy.

At one time it was wrong. But then the state decided to legalize it, promote it and tax it. It has ripped apart families and destroyed lives. But just look at all the money the state has raised. No longer do we have to teach our children to study and work hard. Now we teach them they can get something for nothing. We spend millions encouraging people to join the fun and excitement. Just look at the big sums that people are winning. They will never have to work again! It is called gambling.

Not long ago, Christians were the good guys. But now any positive image of Christians in movies or on TV is gone. We are now depicted as the bad guys – greedy, narrow-minded hypocrites. The teacher can't have a Bible on her desk, but can have Playboy. We don't have Christmas and Easter holidays – just winter and spring break. We can't pray in school, but can use foul language. It's called being tolerant.

Yes, all these things came to pass within 30 years. Where were the Christians? Why, they were in church. All these things are for someone else to deal with. Times have changed. Involvement has been replaced with apathy.
But don't blame me. I didn't do anything. I go to church, the minister preaches, I go home. That's what Christians do now.
Great column, but I don’t think the American sheeple could understand it.
Sounds like a job for some church members...time to raise voices for another cause.
A lot of truth there, unfortunately.
Speaking from a Catholic perspective, the problem can be traced to the breakdown of priestly formation in the 60s. Sin was replaced by modern psychology. We are reaping the whirlwind.
Practicing Catholics desperately need instruction, not more Oprah. The situation is now only beginning to reverse.
-— I recall my daughter-in-law stunned, when cutting trees on their property, and she found her 12 yr/ old sobbing over these trees being cut. Completely convinced this was “hurting” the earth.——
Woooooowwww.
Thanks for passing this on.
“I too get depresses when evil seems to be winning.”
I do, as well. Then I run through my mind some of the newer laws and policies and it’s obvious that everything is lining up as is prophesied for End Times. The good news is that Christians won’t be around to witness everything at its worst.
I received the following email last week and I don’t know how much of it is true. I’ll copy/paste, and hope that formatting and paragraph breaks translate. If not, apologies...
President Obama issued an executive order that seizes control over all food and food production resources in the nation.
What all this means is that the U.S. government now claims the power to simply march onto your farm with guns drawn and demand all your gardens, farms, crops, seeds, livestock and farm equipment, food, food processing you name it.

This is right after Obama signs the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) which allows the President to detain terror suspects indefinitely without a trial.
And here’s the kicker, because all the following activities could cause you to be arrested, detained, interrogated and even murdered all under U.S. law, thanks to Obama:
Criticizing the federal government.
Using cash to purchase things.
Storing food and medical supplies.
Owning a firearm and storing ammunition.
Standing still and minding your own business near a government building.
Writing something down on a piece of paper near a government building.
Using a pair of binoculars.
Protesting for animal rights in front of a medical lab.
Protesting your government (or Wall Street).
Requesting to take more than a couple thousand dollars out of your bank account in cash

Bottom Line:
So let’s face it. The U.S. is heading like a locomotive train toward an oppressive police state dictatorship every time bills like this are passed. (Maybe we should join together and start a health community in Nicaragua, Belize, Costa Rica or somewhere beautiful!)
The US Constitution is ignored. Our Bill of Rights have been overruled and those who try to warn others and speak out can legally be rounded up for the FEMA concentration camps they are building all over the U.S.
Yes,...and was just another incident of why they removed their kids from the school system and are now fully aware of what they are being taught now.
"Sometimes I think we have already jumped over the side of the cliff and its too late to change it back."
We're in free fall waiting to hit the bottom of the Mariana Trench after diving off of Mt Everest. This country stopped tottering on the edge and jumped off the cliff by electing Barry. A nation that will elect someone President who is very deliberately hiding their background and the records of the sort everyone expected to produce to get a job is a nation of fools.
The only question now is whether the country is going to pick itself up, dust itself off, and start climbing back up the mountain when we hit or just squabble, blabber, and continue to allow the Fascist and Vichy crowd to run the country.
Going off the cliff was inevitable once the country swallowed the Democrat Fascist propaganda about the "two income, post industrial, economy" and ignored the Fascist Democrat party deliberately destroying industry in this country. The Fascists decided that the labor unions in private industry weren't dependable enough after so many union members voted for Reagan so Carter got unionization of government employees passed and the Fascist Democrat Party proceeded to get revenge on all the unions that had a record of not always marching in lock step.
Newt led the charge and actually got things back on the right track only to be stabbed in the back by the Vichy Republicans who were drooling over the graft Clinton was going to let them in on if they'd just back off. So, back off they did and here we are, squarely where the majority of the voting public wanted us to be and squarely where those who sit home rather than fighting wanted us to be.
