We Turned Our Backs on God

I'm not the best example of a good Christian, and I don't regularly attend church on Sunday. Personally, I don't think you have to. I do, however, find myself always praying an awful lot in private. Moreover, having conversations with God.
Our "culture" has literally been turned inside out from what I was used to as a young person.
God isn't welcome in schools, or anywhere in public. Muslims are allowed to face Mecca and pray on work time, but you can be fired for having a Bible at your desk.
Transgenderism, Homosexuality, and all it entails is the new norm, and allowed to be taught to children as "normal". We allow parents to abuse their children by claiming them as non-gender specific, or even allow toddlers to change their gender.
The left imposes its will without any moral compass to completely undermine the fabric of the country and turn it on its head.
Social media is turning our kids, friends, and family against us my censoring views that oppose the agenda of the left. One time strong conservative views are now seen as racist and archaic by the young, because of the constant barrage of the left and its mass media machine.
We kill babies and sell baby parts for gain, and still allow those entities to be federally funded.
We have become comfortable with people telling us what we are and aren't allowed to say. It's also okay for people to tell you that because you don't espouse to their viewpoints, you are racist.
Even the Pope is the antithesis of what a Pope representing the catholic faith should be for the church and its people. He caters to Muslims, Homosexuality, and a myriad of un-Godly things that directly oppose what is traditional and of the Word of God.
George Washington stated in his famous farewell address, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."
Ronald Reagan forewarned, “Without God, there is no virtue because there’s no prompting of the conscience. And without God, democracy will not and cannot endure. If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."
Pray folks. Pray for each other, the country, and our world.
We live in very very strange and challenging times.

God's perfect and unchanging goodness is the foundation for objective moral reasoning and truth. When you reject God, you embrace the tools necessary to make the world whatever you want it to be rather than how it was created to be. This includes the perpetuation of evil throughout societies, even in the name of "good".

They are attacking Christianity for a reason. It's a glue that holds many conservatives to the foundation of America. Islam isn't being touched anywhere in the world outside of maybe China.

But the individuals that did not turn their back on God are the ones paying the price.
The ones that forced the chasm are enjoying the fruits of their labor.
The Christian Family is the one taking the beating, here.
How is being the minority pro-God and getting punished for it a result of His Perfect will? I struggle with that. As you can see.

Some people think they can change the world without changing themselves....

What about the overwhelming majority of humans on earth that do not believe in the Abrahamic god and whose culture, morality, etc. have no connection whatsoever to Judeo-Christian values and morality? Are there no "objective truths" in those places?

You'd have to turn your back on yourself to do that, which is a bit tricky.

The vast majority of folks, even those who are non christian, understand the benefits of our society operating under Judeo-Christian values (values which our country was founded on). No society can function without placing a priority on work, honesty, helpfulness, productivity, etc.
It's a shame we seem so willing to turn from it.

Yes, I do. The two religious share a cultural and moral foundation. Are they different in their modern doctrines, etc? Clearly so.
Does not mean they are not related to each other in terms of societal values that developed over time.

They don’t believe Jesus is the Messiah so they are going to Hell.

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said "...the idea of religious neutrality is not grounded in the country's constitutional traditions and that God has been good to the U.S. exactly because Americans honor him."
2 weeks later he was found with a pillow over his face.

Well that is just about the most self-fulfilling statement I've read on this subject in some time.
So your position is that between 4 and 5 billion people have no rational basis to justify their belief in what is right and what is wrong? They are just flying blind?
Some of the world's most prolific philosophical writings and beliefs come from those places. I guess its all just irrational mumbo jumbo because they do not believe in the same god you do?

You're wasting your time. These folks believe in magic.

He just copies and pastes this argument in every thread about religion. Ask him how old he thinks the Earth is.

That's actually the opposite of what he said.
