...a conversation with Chuck Colson and he made the statement that America was a post-Christian nation. That thought had never occurred to me. I didn’t want to accept it, but I knew he was right. In time, I came to realize that America has moved beyond the post-Christian stage. We are now an anti-Christian nation.
Thus it is that the Christian ethic in America has been marginalized. A secular, pagan ethos has emerged. Unbridled by the moral restraints of the past, the new religious zealots are now actively tearing down the old, Christian-based society and working to create a new society based on their interpretations of “social justice” and “equality.”
I’ve read enough about the history of America’s founding and the history of world revolutions to know that, barring something totally unexpected, the American Republic is lost. It is, as the saying goes, all over but the shouting. In due time, Christians who hold to the old ethos; who do not compromise their transcendent, Biblical-based convictions with the new zealots, will be severely persecuted.
Can the Republic be regained? Well, John Adams had this to say about the subject in a letter to his wife, Abigail, in 1775.
“Your Description of the Distresses of the worthy Inhabitants of Boston, and the other Sea Port Towns, is enough to melt an Heart of stone. Our Consolation must be this, my dear, that Cities may be rebuilt, and a People reduced to Poverty, may acquire fresh Property: But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever. When the People once surrender their share in the Legislature, and their Right of defending the Limitations upon the Government, and of resisting every Encroachment upon them, they can never regain it.”
John Adams

It probably has been posted on ATS before, but the prophet Paul Harvey has a great piece on the moral degradation of society. "If I were the devil"

That is THE verse that tells the tale about how America ends up. Why do people think Russia and China march on Israel toward the end? It's because they no longer have America to back them up for protection.

It's not lost unless and until we give up or we give in.
Remember you're a wreck, an accident
Forget the freak, you're just nature
Keep the gun oiled and the temple clean
#, snort and blaspheme
Let the heads cool and the engine run
Because in the end
Everything we do
It's just everything we've done

Isn't that what has happened? I don't see Congress doing anything to prevent this erosion. Certainly not our executive branch and our beloved United States Supreme Court abandoned the people years ago. We are betrayed by all 3 branches of government.
