We all hear about horror stories in countries like Saudi Arabia where strict religious rules keep women in bondage, people live in fear, ignorant beliefs keep people mired in poverty and medevial thinking, etc. Yet Christianity is the one true way that eliminates all of these negatives.

Imagine America being a fully christian nation. As christians we would all be called to love our neighbor as ourself. We husbands would be commanded to love our wives as Christ loved the church as well as being instructed by the word to not provoke our children to wrath.

We would be obligated to help those in need and to have compassion for the widows and orphans.

Imagine the anchor men/women on the evening news beginning the program with a prayer for peace and God's will and then hearing of the miraculous things God had done that day.

Ahhhhhh. a dream for now I know. But friends satan has sold us a bill of goods and we have made the purchase with our committment.

We have been told to keep our beliefs private (a con by satan), to not try and force our will on others, that maybe God has other paths to heaven, and the most common thing we hear today is to be "tolerant."

Satan knows his time is short and he has pulled his greatest con and shown his greatest defense in these end time days by silencing the very ones who are his greatest enemy. He has silenced them by making them think that tolerance is a sign of intelligence and that we should respect all men and their beliefs even if they are opposed to ours.

He has appealed to our emotions rather than our faith and is slowly rocking the christian community to sleep.

Great thread Cameron. I suppose the model for a purely Christian nation would be Heaven. And in the Lord's prayer we are asking for something like that. I guess the key to keeping it is keeping ourselves to the model, even in these seemingly dark times, wherever you are on the planet.

I love the idea of America being a christian nation...but only through individual choice rather than compulsion. I would NOT support the naming of an official state religion. The Roman Catholic Church is a good example of what can happen to sound doctrine once everyone is compelled to join.

peace and love,
