America was founded on Christian principles and we were a Christian nation as God established his kingdom on earth. But as we have aged it was not gracefully as the lack of faithfulness yielded to secularity attitudes and carnality in our instead of of the Bible....our decisions which further caused our fall from grace shows we have yielded to lower elements of man... look at all the decisions from taking prayer out of school to the 10 commandments to even gay marriage and you can social problems increase as we stray further from our true identity... I understand why Jesus wept over his nation as I too weep over mine. I come from a military family and know the influence of God in our patriotism and seeing the decay of our morality by rejecting the truths that our forefathers laid down thru Gods Word I actually fear for the next generations truly we have entered the last days... Please father God bless America... Am I still allowed to say that?

I come from a military family and know the influence of God in our patriotism...
I too served in our military and I can tell you, your god had nothing to do with my patriotism.
...by rejecting the truths that our forefathers laid down thru Gods Word
Truth as warped by the likes of David Barton & his American history revisionism.
Please father God bless America... Am I still allowed to say that?
Idiot - of course you can - you just did. You can say it in your home, in your church even on the street corner if you desire. What you CAN'T do is make it part of our legal system, have it sponsored by our schools, etc. You know - public services & facilities.
"I come from a military family and know the influence of God in our patriotism and seeing the decay of our morality by rejecting the truths that our forefathers laid down thru Gods Word "
This all started when we let niggers in the army in 1947.
"Please father God bless America... Am I still allowed to say that?"
When you make up 80% of the population, yes you are allowed to. With such numbers on your side I'm surprised that it's not compulsory.
America was founded on Greek and Roman principles of democracy, and on extermination the native population and the enslavement of kidnapped people. The Founding Fathers were mostly deists.
I agree that you have not aged gracefully; all sorts of religiosity and fundamentalism has sneaked into your society lately. You tried to put prayer into schools, and o force 10 Commandment monuments on public property where they don't belong. Luckily, you do seem to come to your senses every now and again, like with the Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality.
Isn't there something in the 10 Commandments about Thou Shalt Not Kill? What were you then doing in the Military?
You just said it, didn't you? Have you been arrested yet? Or publicly whipped? Or summarily beheaded?
No? Well then, you were allowed to say that, obviously.
Oh, someone contradicted you, and you think they oughtn't to be allowed to do that? Why should you be able to say what you want, but they're not ?
You think this is persecution of you:

while this is of no consequences whatsoever to anyone:

Military. Leftist. Pagan. You have no reason to whine. America wasn't founded on Christian morals, America was founded on the need to get out from under a despotic empire that saw fit to tax the colonies out of house and home-- or were you not paying attention to sixth grade history class?
Funny-- we settled here to escape religious persecution, and history has repeated itself-- except now, there is nowhere for the persecuted to go.
When did Jesus weep over this nation? What bible verse is that?
Also, this is some poorly written drivel man. How about thinking before you type or proofreading? Stream-of-consciousness does not suit you.

"There were black northern units during the Civil War. "
But there was hysteria about the imminent uselessness of the military due to racemixing in 1947, similar to the gays in the military debate.
It was rumored the Harry Truman was going to integrate the military, causing Strom Thurman to send him an open letter inviting him to deny this. When Truman didn't reply, Thurman ran for president as a third candidate on the no niggers platform.
Truman later racially integrated the military, thus leading to its breakdown into total uselessness in 1947.
"Please father God bless America... Am I still allowed to say that?"
Sure you can, just as I can say "Please father FSM bless America." Happy now?
"faithfulness yielded to secularity attitudes and carnality in our instead of of the Bible"
...wups, a little Freudian slip there, methinks. A little admission of sin in your own 'belie fs', eh?
1- Solomon. 700 wives, 300 concubines. Not one man & one woman. You FAIL.
2- The Holy Spook component of the 'Trinity' putting someone's betrothed - Joseph's Mary - in the family way. Adultery. You FAIL II.
3- Said betrothed, Mary: an underage child bride. Thus Ststutory Rape, therefore Paedophilia by your 'moral' God. You FAIL III, and have struck out.
I'm afraid that all you're allowed to say is if you think your country was founded on Christian 'principles', then you can't blame your country being 'Carnal', when your own moral arbiter & standards setter - 'God' - is a worse-than sinner himself .
*sigh*
Ok, let's just make the switch to Deist official. Keeping the Christian flavoring, but otherwise officially declaring Deist from here on out.
Jam, every generation for a little under 2000 years has thought theirs was the last. And the first to do anything. And was special. And was smarter than the last one. And is smarter than the next one. And... well, I could go on.
The end is not here. The end is not near. God did not establish the US. Hell, God didn't establish Israel (either the modern one or the original. RTFM).
You want to weep for the nation? Weep for the fact that it is filled with assholes that are only concerned with controlling others. Weep for the kid that has their views beaten into conformity and knows nothing other than what they were told to know, that doesn't grasp the concepts of research and critical thinking. Weep for the person that quietly gives to charity, helps those around them, and is generally an all around good person that has people shriek at them that they're going to hell as soon as they are revealed to have different beliefs. Weep for the person that suppresses their gender or sexuality their entire lives because people drilled it into them that there is something wrong with it. And weep for the other Christians that just try to live normal lives and don't make asses of themselves or try to force their ways on others, but get shellfish arguments and insults just because of people like you.
Plenty of reasons to carry off a little darkness on your back. You don't need to make up more.
Please father God bless America... Am I still allowed to say that?
Yes you are because of the First Amendment. I'm also allowed just as much to say "HAIL ODIN!" as you are to say "Please father God bless America". What I'm not getting is why did you not capitalize father...unless you're...Jesus.
(OP)
"America was founded on Christian principles and we were a Christian nation as God established his kingdom on earth."
...aaaaand you fail right out of the gate, in the very first sentence. *smh*

Not an ounce of truth. Impressive.
"I come from a military family and know the influence of God in our patriotism"
I'd imagine that God would care about other countries besides the USA, including those pesky Russian swines. God isn't up there in Heaven tearing up over the Star-Spangled Banner as it celebrates the 4th of July; it has to take into account of the prayers of those across Earth, and the Universe, so it can be fair and take every wish into account before ignoring the harder requests, like ending hunger, and focusing on the easier ones instead, such as helping its favourite athletes at the Olympics.

"America was founded on the need to get out from under a despotic empire"
Yet when Scotland had the chance to do the same, the US president chimed in that he didn't want to see the "United Kingdom" break up. Just a little hypocritical...
If, as you and so many other believers say, we are truly entering the last days, it would be considerate if you'd lower your voices so we could enjoy some peace and quiet.
This combat veteran is here to tell you that your fucking ignorant "god" has absolutely dick to do with my love of, and patriotism for, my country.
Pussies like you love to wrap yourselves in the flag that you have never served under.
Go fuck yourself, you piece of shit.
Listen, bub. Our founding fathers were not Christian, and they were not perfect. If they were fundie Christians, they'd probably be worse.
@Mister Spak
Thurmond, you mean.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
