In what way? What is happening to America?
..... Okay please no Trump comments. (Not that it's gonna help anything to say that. "0))
Neither, AFAICT.Is God turning His back on us because of our acceptance of gay marriage, bathroom rights, abortion, etc?
OR
Is America finally turning away from outdated, narrow minded views of God, and the churches that push those views?
The license is only for the legal rights. You can make whatever vows you want to your God without getting the government involved; the license is granted by the government in order to secure rights provided by the government.
- Gay marriage issues should have been solved long ago simply by not letting the government issue "marriage licenses" at all. We do not make marriage vows to the government; but to God. That's none of the government's business. I think it might be a mild form of heresy to think we need man's approval of what Jesus said "God has put together". So it's between you and God who you marry. Only God can approve or disprove. Local churches, synagogues and even mosques(nowadays) should be the ones issuing marriage licenses.
According to the Bible God will not abandon what is his.
Since Christianity was brought here and forced upon the Native population by Colonialism, I've always found this idea God is turning 'his' back on America odd. This hasn't ever been a Christian nation.
Yes, gods were local affairs back in the day. If anything, the US belongs to the gods native to the continent.Why would the US belong to God, any God? If you believe in the God of the Bible, he said the Children of Israel were his chosen. He never said any such thing about the US and Americans.

I am left handed for petesake I see you crazies for what you all are.. Right handed.You could take medication for that.
If you do understand no ones going to understand you!!! Hell that's the new testament story and that's the irony. It appears nature has created a lockout called the higher functioning Part of the brain. It should be called the dysfunctional region from all the emperical evidence we have in front of us.With all due respect, anyone who thinks that they understand God's message and that therefore anyone else ought to agree with them is severely deluded.
I would massively expand that but then I would be treading on sacred cows. Ok can't resist math, Cosmology, linguistics, accedamia, all feeding the nut job "higher functioning" region of the brain. Should be called the nutty dysfunctional region based on the evidence. Hell this medium isn't improving the nuttiness it's empowering it.The notion that god would actually care about human abstract constructs such as countries is an adorable one.
Or rather, people's expectations of God as a divine Orwellian Big Brother are just wishful dreams.If God ever existed at all, it seems as though he abandoned the entire planet.

Unfortunately the university then sells it as the latest and greatest!!! It's a muzak factory It's nuts or normal, same thing.Sacred cows need to be made into hamburger.
Marriage licenses were not originally given by the government. Churches did so. We didn't need government then. We don't need them now. Churches, mosques, synagogues or places of religion in general should not be regulated. It's sad you're such a totalitarian. The idea of America was that it would be a place of freedom. Now you want a nanny state.The license is only for the legal rights. You can make whatever vows you want to your God without getting the government involved; the license is granted by the government in order to secure rights provided by the government.
...and there's no way this should be downloaded to churches. Not unless churches are regulated and licensed like any other government contractor, which i don't think anyone wants.
That's your business. Not the governments.I didn't make marriage vows to God.

501c3 should be repealed it was a scam job by the government in the first place. We should go back to how it was before.if churches get tax exemptions and can sell stuff without reporting it, then yes, they should be regulated.
Churches and any group of people have the right to discuss politics or anything short of a conspiracy to commit crime.And it would be nice if churches left politics and focused on religion, but that is not our society.
