America has turned
its back on God

Has anyone noticed the intensity of the devastation that is hitting the U.S.? Not just hurricanes, but snow, wind, rain, fire, tornadoes and flood.

Why is this happening? Some say global warming, some say it's a cycle. I think it's because we have turned our backs on God.

For the first 175 years or so our country feared God, so we grew and we prospered. Congress in the 1950s even added "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance to show our difference from the godless Russians. Then in the 60s we threw God out of public school. In the 70s we legalized murder, calling it abortion. The 80s introduced us to HIV/AIDS, forced us to talk about homosexuality, and we began to accept it as an "alternative" lifestyle. The 90s saw our president, our commander-in-chief, break his marriage vows and have sex with an intern.

This century, Massachusetts legalized gay marriage. Now we see gay cowboys at the movies, desperate housewives on TV and the Oscar winner for best song went to one about how tough it is to be a pimp. Can anyone else see a pattern here? If we don't turn back to God, we will see the fall of America and the end of the American dream.
