These are outlandish, pessimistic remarks of a defeatist attitude that belong to people who have nothing better to do with their time then trash western civilization and specifically the United States of America. The end of time is not near and bastardizing Biblical quotations serves no purpose outside of swaying those weak minded in our society.

We are in a simple battle of good versus evil. The same battle that mankind has been waging since the beginning of time. America remains the home for all people who believe in freedom, liberty and opportunity. There are some creatures in this world who oppose basic human rights for everyone. It is those who must be removed from the face of the Earth through any means available.

If given a fighting chance, good will triumph over evil at every opportunity.

A hundred years ago, yes. Now, no. All that's good in America is what remains of what was done 225 years ago by people who followed the God of the Bible and His Word.

Today, in What's Left of America, we murder millions of unborn - and partially born - children every year. The children we allow to survive birth we forbid to pray in school. Our public buildings get in trouble if anyone dares to do something like put the Ten Commandments on a wall. Nativity scenes are not even permitted on "public" grounds at Christmas.

What's Left of America is no longer good. It has elements of good still, yes. But they are few.

Islam vs. America could be called Pure Evil vs. Once Good But No Longer.

I believe that America flourished because God's hand of blessing and protection were upon us. That hand has been in the process of being removed for decades, as we willingly chose to reject Him. It's now all but gone.

What we're seeing isn't new - read the Bible, and you'll see that the Lord has a tradition of letting great nations that once followed Him go into destruction when they reject Him.

God will bless America when America blesses God.

Your use of the terms 'good' and 'evil' admit of a spiritual reality behind the physical. It might do you well to take the prophecies of the worlds greatest book a bit more to heart.

The signs have never been so all pervasive. Yes many have thought before that the end times were near ... but they did not have THE FULL COMPLIMENT of the signs in evidence.

They are ALL here. The laying of millions of children upon the alter is the ONE that most condemns us.

Perhaps we might still turn from our idolatry and be given the chance to be the 'good' you speak of fighting the 'evil' that sweeps across the earth. I don't see it.

Yo Reagan Man. I tend to agree with you. While reading some of that article I was struck by one thing. In my quest to get a college degree, I took an English course a couple semesters back that was about English Literature. A lot of the authors and poets were from the turn of the 20th century, and most harped on the same themes as this article does today. We are slouching toward the end, and so on. What's your take on that?

America Already Trashed

How can that be? He makes an observation that all Christendom has a death wish and is committing suicide. And out of that follishness comes: he has nothing better to do than trash "western" civilization? Only after you see blood in American streets, has her free fall ended.
