What do you not understand about 1775 and 2011 being two different times? Yeah, it was founded on Christian principles, but back then, every country was. Times change, and we don't have to like it, but it happens. Trust me, I deal with the PC bullshit enough with the Army.

TRV doesn't hate Christians..he hates the ones that make you all look bad, like I do. The ones who accuse Pres Obama of being Kenyan or some stupid crap like that, and that actually hate him because they "think"(and they're wrong) that he's a Muslim. Also, the two-faced Christians that I've mentioned many times, the ones who go to church and say they're good Christian people when they're doing nothing but judging and hating on anything and everything that is different, including Muslims in America.

I had a convo on Facebook with some stupid crazy Christians about how they think that "Muslims are taking over America"...they said some of the dumbest things I've ever seen, like we shouldn't let Muslims in our country, and shouldn't allow them to open up businesses because they'll probably use it to funnel money to terrorists. It's ridiculous.

I dislike Muslims, pretty much everyone from the Middle-East/Central Asia, but it's not because of religion, it's because I'm programmed to not trust them. We fought them, I don't like them and I can't help it. When a Muslim/Arab is around me, I'm on edge, and I watch them like a hawk. That's just muscle memory though. I don't like it, but like I said, I can't help it. I don't want to be that way because I have a couple Muslim friend's, two in the Army, and one Afghan Commando I keep in touch with through Facebook. But, Christians who hate/dislike Muslims because of religion and grouping them all into one group because of a select few are doing the same thing our enemy is doing and that Christians criticize them for...fighting over stupid religious differences.

Times are changing, our country is no longer a "Christian" country, or a country with "Christian principles". We have all types of religions here, and they all deserve a say without putting up with Christians screaming about their religion and shoving it in their face. I could care less about any religion...used to be Southern Baptist, converted to Catholic to marry my fiance'...but I don't really have much faith anymore. God has given up on me. It's up to me and me alone to dictate my life and fate, and I'm not going to spend my time praying for things instead of going out and getting them. I still believe in God, I have just disconnected because of all the bullshit and some of my recent experiences of the last 2 years.

Everybody's brains are scrambled when they get back home, that's normal, if you can accept that. It took me a while to get back to what I thought was normal. It's hard to say this without sounding cheesy. Everbody that says they are a Christian isn't neccessarily right. I would suggest you reestablish your connection with your Southern Baptist roots.

When you think about it, you realize everything can't be true. Either we are evolved or we are created, it can't be both. Anytime you or anybody else, and that would include muslims, is in a situation where you're being made to feel inferior by one or more so called Christians, they are probably not really what they say they are. The central truth of the gospel "good news" is this, God's Son died a substitutionary death on the cross in your and my place. The wages of sin is death but, the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus' perfect sacrifice. That day on the cross he laid down his life for any who would believe in Him. God wanted to share Himself with a people who want to be with Him. It's like the marital situation. What makes marriage sweet is the fact that you both choose each other. You choose her, she chooses you. He created us to make a choice for or against Him. He already chose us in that He allowed His only Son to die/sacrifice Himself on the cross to pay our sin debt off for us, and all we have to do, again, by faith believing, is to choose Him in return.

My sincerest advice to you is that God has not given up on you. When you have a son one of these days, look at him and ask yourself what it would take for you to allow him to die for someone else. If God could give up on you he would never have allowed His Son to die in your place, so you, and all who will accept Him could live.

Actual Christians recognize they are in no way deserving of their saved status with The God of this universe since He paid the entire price Himself that day on the cross.

I would suggest to you that America is still a Christian nation suffering from the errosive effects of our own sinful nature to destroy ourselves. That is what causes the unfortunate consequences of war. God warned Adam and Eve, "in the day that ye sin ye shall surely die" Had man been able to obey God he would have lived forever but, he chose to sin thereby causing his own downfall, again, the "Good News" is that all men may live through the substitutionary death of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Times are changing because we are nearing, IMO that time in man's history when things will begin to cascade into a massive climax of war and rebellion known as the the Great Tribulation, when men will go through a 7 year period of war, disease, famine and a one world oppressive form of government. Hence, all this global community talk.

At any rate, that statement in the US Constitution that says that all men are created equal was born out the recognition of our founding fathers that God created us all and He will accept all who believe. We can be with Him forever, by accepting the truth of our creation at His hand. Gen 2:7 "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul." The invitation to come, is extended to every man, Muslim, Hindu, Jew, all men of every nation. So, the haters you are talking about are out of character. That doesn't mean we are not to call out wrong when we see it. However, no man who says he hates his brother, is worthy of the kingdom of God. We don't have to agree with them, but, we can not hate them.

In this day and time when through the medium of TV, so much information is pouring into our heads daily it's hard to measue it all. Just because there are so many, saying in effect, there is no God or we can't really know God, doesn't mean they know what they are talking about. God is real and time is most likely short, so the spirit of Anti-Christ has more tools to use to decieve the masses. Every man is aware of the truth of the Lordship of the Living God in his own heart, this awareness is revealed in us by our own conscience. Don't let the lie overpower the truth you've likely already learned at your home church.
