Why do we need God???? Let’s generalize this question. 1) Look at this nation (USA). How corrupt, how self-centered, how materialistic, how evil it has become. America was founded on Biblical principles, coincidence that it is the greatest nation on earth? To some extent… We are now falling away from what it was initially made out to be. Taking God out of everything. 2) Now think…about our society and culture and how we have swayed from any sense of morality. Issues today would have not have been issues 40 years ago (ref. my dad. Considering I’m only 21) Seriously…3) To answer your question…Why do we, need God???? Look at the American society and that should answer the question =/
You actually have this the wrong way round. America was founded by those wanting religious freedom. It has, though, become a christian nation and is going downhill as you say, look at your leader for instance. Only now is secularism starting to creep in, and many religious(mainly christian)people among you don't like it.MM21 said:Why do we need God????

Just to say, maybe I'm reading this wrong, but it seems to me you contradict yourself. You say that America is twisted, immoral, materialistic, evil, etc....and you call it the greatest nation on earth. :sarcasticMM21 said:Why do we need God????

I'm happier, more confident, stronger emotionally...and I feel a greater need to do good in the world and stand up for what I think is right. So I don't need God, but I do believe that my faith in God has helped me, because I believe there is someone who will always be there for me and love me.

We are the greatest nation...now when i say were sturggling i mean social and culture issues. More to individualize the hearts of the people. The nation itself...no one has freedom like we do. In alot of places you can't worship whatever God or no god if you choose to. This isn't a political discussion,but as much as i disagree with capatilism, it works.
