gods judgement on america? Long time coming?
I would like to state this is in support of gods absolute power and his punishment of sin. If you are wanting to argue with me on creation vs evolution it will not be done here. I have posted many times in many other topics with my opinions. This is my point...I love america dearly but I think we are in a very sinful state and have been for a long time and I was wondering why we havent been judged for it like the countless countries listed in the bible. this is why I think we are yet to be judged. We have been a close allie of israel for a while now and so I think we havent had judgement passed on us because we have been aiding gods sacred nation for so long.Opinions?

Looking at you.
Re: gods judgement on america? Long time coming?
I don't believe that the god of the bible is real. The judgement you are talking about reminds me of when people say that natural disasters are the actions of a god. That is my opinion.

A) He just doesn't care.
B) He is a metaphorical idea meant to be understood by moderately intelligent people rather than unthinking masses who flock to charismatic, self serving preachers out of an inability to fulfill their lives
C) It has already come in the form of AIDS/ terrorism/ the prominence of people with brown hair

I'll co-sign everything so far except the opening post. I love that you directly state the intention: "This supports God's power and ability to punish." Quintessential Christian dogma, if you ask me.
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when my fear is gone I will turn and face fears path, and only I will remain."
-Paul Atreides

Why America? By your logic why not any other nation (or group of people)? We aren't the only ones that have sinned so wrongfully. Many others have done far worse than us. "I think we haven't had judgement passed on us because we have been aiding God's sacred nation for so long"; that post is ridiculous, in my opinion. If Jews were God's "chosen people" then by your logic, why have they been forced to endure such injustice over the years? Is it their punishment?
My overall opinion is that I disagree with you. If God existed, tell me why he should care about America so much?
So either Sodom and Gomorrah was WAY worse then the USA or God isn't real. I guess there could be a couple of other things like God used up all his power on those cities or he just doesn't care, I will go with that God isn't real.
