But I also can't help think about something else.  I would in no way make this judgment, but I do think about it. I think about it because I see how God has sometimes dealt with His people in the past.  In the Book of Judges, God often allowed other nations to rise up against His people because they had fallen away from Him.  The purpose I saw in this was not in favoring the nation that rose up ...but to show God's people where they went wrong, before restoring His people.  So, it was for the purpose of learning and restoring ...not changing to something new.  What are we to learn? 

Yes, as I said before, there is a religion that opposes Christianity, one that is not fond of our nation ...yet, whose faith has somehow gained increased respect and tolerance within our society. That religion has strict rules against things we've come to be very tolerant of ...inclusive of not only homosexuality, but also many acts outside of marriage. And again, as I said, a Christian is often labeled as intolerant, or a hater ...for merely calling those things sin, while the other religion has been known to kill in response to such promiscuous behavior. I ask again, why would calling something sin ...be more offensive than killing someone?? And what are we to learn from this religion rising up against our nation?
