Religion

How important would you say religion is in your own life? At the present time, do you think religion as a whole is increasing its influence on American life or losing its influence?

I think religion has always been an influence on American life. I do not think that religion is losing its influence, but I do believe there are more people emerging who do not value religion as much as people in the past.

Religion in my life is extremely important. I love God with all my heart and try to live my life for Him. We are very active in our church.

I believe that Christianity is losing it's influence in our society. Look at how Christmas is becoming....check out people can't say "Merry Christmas" because it's offensive to some people. They now have to say "Happy holidays".

Look at our schools since they've taken prayer out of the classrooms. I can't imagine being a teacher and going through what they do every day!

Where are our morals? Think back about 30 years ago to what was seen on TV. We have really changed in what we allow ourselves and our families to watch. Or even how kids dress!

Gay marriages? Abortions? I won't comment on how I feel about these.

I believe that our society is falling apart because of the way that we've ignored God and that it's going to continually get worse. Our only hope is that we turn back to God and beg His forgiveness. If we don't then I believe that He will punish the USA for all of the wickedness that we have.

I know that this is very dooms day-ish, but you wanted to start some conversations going. Sorry that it's long. I need to learn how to make things shorter but this is what I believe.

I think that overall, the majority of Americans feel the same way you do, DianaB. I completely agree with you 100%. I think the reason it SEEMS like America is going down the wrong path is because the media is inheritly liberal and "secular progressive" (see my other thread entitled Traditionalist vs. Secular Progressive). I do feel that our founding fathers are shaking their heads at our country right now.

I think if God was allowed back in our schools, in our Government and in our hearts things would vastly improve. There is no more communication at work or at home, at least not as much as there should be. Everything is in rush mode. No one has time for the family to sit down for a meal and become closer.

I wish we could go back in time a little where it "seems" like God was the first thing we thought of in the morning and the last we talked with of a night. I don't think we'll ever get back to that time.

What is bothersome to me also, is that there are kids out there who have never heard a bible story....makes you think, doesn't it?
