which way, america...?

[guest]

one nation under God!! what does this mean...?it means that we have this land, this flag, this government as a gift from the great God Almighty...it means that this did not become "the land of the free and the home of the brave" by blind fate or a happy set of coincidences, but that a wise and benevolent God was hovering over us from the very hour of conception...and long before...when columbus discovered this land, he took a cross in his own hands, and planted it upon the new soil, fell upon his knees, and kissing the earth, took possession of this continent for God...faith in God hung the lanterns on the prow of the "mayflower" as it chartered the treacherous atlantic...that frail vessel was laden with deathless destiny:the pioneers of a powerful nation...the heralds of new freedoms...the trailblazers of a new epoch in human history...later during those difficult but decisive days of the revolution when a handful of common people won their freedom from the mighty world empire, through the crucible of a civil war, through two world wars and a number of smaller wars, through a great panic and a ravaging depression, none but the fool could fail to see the hand of a sovereign God upon this golden land of the free...but today, america faces a danger point...we must confess with troubled heart that america has forgotten God...she is rolling in luxeries, reveling in excesses, rollicking in pleasure, revolting in morals, and rotting in sin...what can we expect of a society in which passions are riderless horses...in which there is a desolation of decency...in which love has become a jungle emotion...lust is exalted to lordship...sin elevated to sovereignty...satan worshipped as saint...and man magnified above his Maker...? today, the bleak winds of destiny are howling in protest to the way we are living...it is sheer folly to suppose that the strength and security of america lies in its vast economic resources...industrial prowess...scientific ingenuity...diplomatic skill...military might...our real defense as a nation rests in the spiritual convictions, character and commitment of our citizenry...our forefathers founded this nation upon the christian faith and it will live so long as the Lord is our God...the pilgrim fathers left a land where they were persecuted to find a land wherein every man through countless ages, would have the right to worship God...when these strong and stalwart champions of a new order landed at the plymouth rock, they knelt upon the shore and dedicated this country to God...when the constitutional convention met in philadelphia to organize the nation and write a constitution, venerable old benjamin franklin called on the members of the convention to fall upon their knees and pray for divine wisdom...this same principle of dependence upon God is embodied in our national athem..."blest with victory and peace may the heaven rescued land praise the power that hath made and preserved us as a nation!"...sin seperates a nation from God...we must return to the faith of our fathers...we must go to our knees in humility and prayer, in contrition and confession, in repentance and the forsaking of sin...we must go back to the cross where the incarnate Son of God was cursed, condemned, crucified for man...the creature's sin...the crisis is acurate...the danger is imminent...time is running out...the choice is clear...repent or perish...revival or ruin...Christ or chaos...WHICH WAY AMERICA...?

If "Christ" is my only other choice, I choose chaos.

HUH?? I must have missed something here.

When Columbus DISCOVERED this land?
He took possession of this continent for God??
OK, Where do the Native Indians fit into this picture? Are you implicating them to be some sort of ANIMAL, to fit in with all the other wildlife inhabiting this continent when Columbus just happened
to "discover" it for what many believe to be the first time?
So... you rightwingnut religious zealots so dearly believe in the ten commandments, one of which states THOU SHALL NOT STEAL. Another states, THOU SHALL NOT KILL.
Yet we did BOTH (stole from and killed the native Indians) in order to take possession of this continent for God??
BULL$HIT! You people go right ahead, keep reading your little book, and believing this crap.

Why are you on topix and not at church? It's Sunday, your favorite day of the week! I love Sunday's until you people hit town in droves when church is over. They should feed you guys while you're there but that would just take money out of your preacher's pocket and I KNOW he doesn't want that.

No religious nutjob from this area could have written this. As bizarre as guest's ramblings seem to be, they're too... eloquent. And despite the punctuation choice, the words are spelled correctly, for the most part. This looks like copy from one of those silly religious tracts one might find left by a proselytizing kook on one's car windshield or home front door. Speaking as a follower of Christ, I say that postings like this turn people away from God more than extend any sort of invitation. I'm revolted by the arrogant points made in this.

oh...and from your post that's probably all that you are is a follower and not a doer...it seems like the way you describe yourself you only want to wear the name of Christ to make you look good when in fact you are a false christian through and through...you would'nt be putting down another brother in Christ if you were a REAL christian...i rest in your case...

I'm aware of my christian heritage, I'm an life long Catholic. But what you wrote sounds like something Tony Alamo would have put on my car.

Nothing wrong with it at all. I don't know anybody that would spend that much time writing something on Paragould Topix. Well, maybe one and it looks like you've made friend with her.

You claimed you wrote it at 9:30 a.m. There IS something wrong with claiming to write something you did not. It is called plagiarism.
