It's interesting to me to think that not too terribly long before I was born, pornography was not legal. People cite the constitution as the basis for this and I really don't get how that argument makes any sense. Hollywood makes movies for wide use. If a screenwriter is forced to forfeit his pay if he doesn't tack on a "happy ending", how is that any more censorship than a state electing leaders to enforce the absence of influences that chip away at the steadfastness of their faith? The government isn't allowed to force a religion on people. They are required however to listen to their constituents. The People chose George Washington over God. We are seeing exactly what happened with Solomon's successors to Israel's throne. The People chose to have a human king. All was good for awhile, and then Solomon, king #3, started looking over across the fence and surely enough, his successors ruled with ever exceeding wickedness. God dismantled Israel and then proceeded to send us Jesus. Humanity has experienced historic triumphs since its' adoption of Him as King, but over the last 150 or so years, we have grown over confident in our abilities and have done all imaginable to discredit God's involvement with the triumphs we currently are graced with. I don't think it'll be very long at all before God dismantles the Earth and picks up the pieces of humanity that were not over arrogant or dismissive or hateful toward The One Sovereign God.
People say that earthquakes and hurricanes are proof that God isn't there. No. It's proof that God IS there and is willing to warn you of His power. You can make up whatever you want. The Bible, made up or not, is real and nobody has proven it to be false. People insist that Genesis' 1981 song "Abacab"'s lyrics are "non sensical", but they make perfect sense with a tiny bit of exploring. Same thing with The Bible. Many academic types refuse to explore it. They assume it's rubbish and don't even consider the possiblity that isn't, except for maybe a brief moment but as soon as any paradox or confusion crops up, it goes back to being lumped in with every other religious text. It amazes me how some people talk about that and talk about it like it's a completely different religion than Judaism. True, The Bible was not delivered all at one time. If you understand anything about the heart of man, it doesn't take much to read The Bible and imagine a bunch of neoandrathals (sp??) walking about, completely unprepared to accept Jesus into their hearts. God added His word as the events in Earth continued to unfold. If Israel had done what Micha 3:6 says and walked humbly with their Lord, seeking Justice and being Merciful, then The Bible have ended where Moses had left it before he departed
