Quoting aswilledDislikedYou are so right Duke. God did not create churches but a church. He didn't create religion but a way of life. Man fell in the garden and allowed evil to be the dominate force in this world. Christ came to give man a chance to live. Otherwise every nation would be in choas just as the other nations that is run over with plagues, curruption, and all manner of evil. The US is fastly approaching God's damnation as well. Because our forefathers built this nation with prayer and the power of God. And the Bushes and Nixons of this nation chose to forsake him. Hence, World Trade Center bombing, ecoli, rampant crime and governmental curruption and the like. It is only the faith and prayers of the christians in America that keep this nation from falling as every other great nation throughout history that turn their face from God.Ignored
I am not so sure that I would blame God for what is happening and what has happened to other nations in the past. I would lay the blame on rampant greed and lack of concern for others as the cause of the present ills as well as the past ills.
