I am deeply saddened by the complacency we Americans display by allowing our great country to become morally bankrupt. I worry about the future of our younger generation and how we sat back and allowed it to happen. My fellow Americans it's so vital that we join together and protect the future of our youth. I truly believe the most important issue we must start with is our freedom of religion. We have sat back and allowed our president and politicians to show blatant disrespect to our creator, God. We have allowed evil to take over. Remember the days of Leave it to Beaver? Remember when family values were so important? Remember the p***e we felt each day in school while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance? How could we allow prayer to be taken out of our military? Did we worry about school shootings? NO, we did not. We allowed God to be taken out of the schools and look what has happened. I beg each and every one of you to set time aside to seriously consider these matters. It's time to take our country back and rebuild our moral structure. Our youth are constantly exposed to sex, violence, suicide, drugs and disrespect to authority. Thank you and God bless.

Could you provide one example of the Administration's efforts to halt religious freedom...I ask.... because all the churches in my area are still in "business", so you must have a personal anecdote to support your panic attack.
I don't really remember God being in schools, we never said prayer-maybe at big ceremonies, but not every day or anything. I do remember being forced to say the pledge of allegiance. I wasn't given a choice about that. Do you think God cares about the pledge allegiance? We are taking an oath something Jesus taught us not to do, and secondly, as we take this oath we are not swearing our loyalty to Christ but instead to an earthly kingdom. I can no longer in good conscience swear my loyalty to her because my loyalty is solely with Christ and his Kingdom. I asked my son (he is 14) if kids pray at school. I'm impressed: they do. Before they eat lunch, some of the kids pray. That's my experience, maybe you ought to go visit you local high school, sit down, eat a sandwich and talk to the kids and get a sense of their morality, instead of assuming.
The military didn't take prayer away, you can pray anytime you want, some people don't choose it, that's it. I don't Jehovah's Witnesses, that are presenting the cultish version of God's kingdom-therefore the military has taken the same position, which is: present your version of your beliefs and suffer the consequences. In the real world, I tell they are cult and don't want them to come back. The military was tired of people who were in positions of authority forcing their beliefs. Would if your company commander was a muslim and you weren't-get it?
It is equally bad that adults are exposed to sex, violence, suicide, drugs and disrespect to authority. It is completely legal to do so...it's called freedom of speech...just like you have...the ability to complain about matters.
When has our president shown a disrespect to God? Is this the whole gay marriage thing. God didn't set up our laws, gay marriage is a legal matter. The government has not forced anyone to marry someone that isn't answerable to the law. Straight people can still get married-legally. Is there some other example you could provide, in which the administration disrespected God? I can't think of anything.
There you go, I have SERIOUSLY considered your list, now consider my questions and provide data to support your skewed view of reality.
