America has forsaken her first love. She has finally, and fully, given herself over to a licentious Lothario with whom she has increasingly flirted since her youth. He is sin – and, notwithstanding full knowledge of who he is and what he intends, with him she has lain. America has tasted the poisonous fruits of lust, pride, passion, and envy – sloth, frivolity, iniquity and entitlement. She has tasted of their sweet deception and found it irresistible. She has danced in the streets, intoxicated by the very poison that will be her undoing. America has rebelled against God. She has shaken her fist at Him and arrogantly cried, 'We don’t need you. We don’t want you. We know better than you. Now go away.' And so He’s going away. We have exalted a party that seeks to – and in many was ways has already done so – enshrine into law the celebration of sexual deviancy and mock marriage. The rain is descending. The floods have come and the winds beat down on our great nation.

You see yourself as a present day founding father, don't you?
I hate to break it to you but, you're not!
If you believe that God created everything, then that means he created gays, too.
Looks like that makes you the arrogant one.
"America has rebelled against God. She has shaken her fist at Him and arrogantly cried, 'We don’t need you. We don’t want you. We know better than you. Now go away.'"
That was over 200 years ago... who the fuck is this news?
"America has tasted the poisonous fruits of lust, pride, passion, and envy sloth, frivolity, iniquity and entitlement."
Holy shit... this guy is complaining about the American Dream!!
Lady Liberty would rather have eons of pure passion with the dark, sexy, free-spirited hottie, Lucifer than with that ugly, bigoted, uptight old brute, The Demiurge, any day. The Demiurge treats her like scat but Lucifer is a true gentleman!
Oh pipe down, you drama queen!
You Americans re-elected the exact same guy as president as for the last four years! That is all! No sudden Armageddon, no masses of Americans that are now quitting their jobs to mooch of welfare checks, no sudden transformation of the US into a “Marxist”, “communist”, “Bolshevik”, “socialist”, “fascist”* dictatorship. Just business as usual like the years before, only difference is BO has no longer to worry about reelection.
*or whatever buzzword, that you couldn’t define if your life would depend on it, you heard last from a GOP or Tea Party pundit.
"America has rebelled against God."
America can't rebel against something that doesn't exist. America can rebel against the lies and delusions maintained by a corrupt so-called spiritual authority entirely invented by con men, misogynists and racists.
America doesn't need theocracy. America doesn't want theocracy. Thankfully America knows better than theocrats. Theocrats should go away or at least mind their own business.
For the time being Freedom is winning but beware the insanity of Bible God.
The country is not rebelling against God, it's just that the Christian nationalists are losing more and more power & influence day by day. America is not ever going to become the Christian theocracy you wish it to be. The country's population is becoming ever more atheist every day, and there's not anything you can do about it. Except whine on the internet that is.
I could take a calendar of the entire history of the US, pick a random year, and find nonsense exactly like this. Hell, I could take a calendar of all of human history, pick a random year, and find nonsense just like this. Every generation thinks that the next generation is depraved, lazy, and causing the end of [the country/civilization/the world]. Change is a fact of life and so is other people's resentment to it and what the newest generations see as freedom (gay marriage) the older ones see as the new generation having no morals. It was the same with interracial marriage. Almost a spitting image. And it will continue to be that way every time the morality of old gets rejected for new freedom. By the way, rejecting certain morals isn't intrinsically a bad thing. After all, it used to be a moral imperative for slaves to obey their masters. Now not only is slavery immoral but we cheer when slaves cast off their masters.

Going away? Where the hell has He been in the first place? Show me where this "God" has ever done anything different as a result of human behavior. Does He answer prayers? Do people who go to church, profess to be "born again" or live like monks get less diseases, win the lottery more often or are less likely to have their homes destroyed by floods or tornadoes? And how come there are thousands of different and often incompatible opinions about what He does, what He wants and even whether He's one or many?
Admit it. You're just making stuff up so you can pretend your big, magic brother is gonna beat up the people you don't like.

Stop it, you're getting me hot.
He's going away? Here's an idea, why don't all you fundies go with him (if you can find anywhere that will take you).
In a related topic, I hate fucking Australia. They were lucky and got the criminals. We got the religious nuts. I WANT TO TRADE!
Yeah, yeah, yeah... Rebelled against God and all that jazz.
@Grimsoncrow, Prager
And our rivers will teem with frogs, they will fill our land and invade our homes.
And so, the glass-jawed paper tiger, friend of the genocidal, sadistic, and overall malevolent ego projection, still does not understand why America would ever leave such an abusive wretch in the first place.
@Alencon
Fuck off mate, we have enough of our own.
Seriously the leader of a major politcal party of called the "Mad Monk". And not just because his last name is Abbot.
Aw, does somebody think he's an old testament prophet? Well, considering his Concerned WOMEN for America ties, maybe his identity confusion isn't so surprising after all.
I applaud your poetic skill but deplore your logic.
Call me when they're taking the firstborn sons, okay?
Actually, America has broken up with the abusive boyfriend who regularly ignored her needs and wants except when he was stealing from her or calling her friends and family horrible names and cutting her down in front of his.
When he came demanding she take him back, she told him to go pound sand.
@ HG131
No way. Barber is a professional gay-basher. He's one of the big names in the anti-marriage equality/save the DOMA movement. The histrionics, the lies and the vaguely erotic imagery, they're all the real deal.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
