The Destruction of America by Atheists

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Look, we've already got enough on our plate with destroying Christmas. We'll get round to destroying America when we GET to it. Fuck's sake, we've only got two hands. And get your feet off the coffee table.

You could destroy Christmas as we know it with one law, outlawing charging interesting on credit cards. Christmas would be over the next day.

Hard to take the Christers gripes too seriously when so much of the bible isn't taken seriously by them.

Sanctifying marriages subsequent to the first in an actual church with an ordained Christian preacher, how the fuck is that a real and common occurrence when scripture (Jesus seddso!!!!!) is clear Christian marriage (the FIRST ONE!!!) is indissoluble ?

If America is actually imperiled by atheism, it would be damn hard to discern their share from the damage wrought by Christians.

Is America on its way to destruction?

No.  We are on our way to irrelevancy and it has nothing to do with fucking jesus.

Yes, America is on it's way to destruction. It'll get there in a few billion years with the rest of the planet.

Hey, America...

I don't know how many atheists attend church gatherings or masses or anything religious. My wife is a Christian, was raised into it just as I was and she is beginning to question her faith. Of course I am not trying to pursuade her one way or the other. I even attend the church services with her. I listen with an open mind and heart, just to get insight from how Christians think and feel. My wife is the only one in my family who knows I am an atheist. Although I agree with a lot of what the church teaches, I am against a few things. Churches are blaming non believers for destroying our country of America and the world. I don't believe God gave us morals. We define our own morals as human beings. It's sad to see the hostility against any form of non belief or skeptism. The preacher shouts and lashes out against atheism as the people of the church shout Amen! and things like that. Funny how 5 minutes before that the preacher talks about loving all humans and gods creatures.

Now back on topic, Is America on its way to destruction? Or is it not. And if you believe so, do you believe it is from non believers, or do you believe it is from another source.

No nation lasts for ever.   Even countries which perceive itself as having lasted a really long time, such as china, or ancient Egypt, are really a succession of culturally related, but politically different states and nations that were created and destroyed time and again.   So of course the US is on its way to destruction.   It has been since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

There is absolutely nothing unique about the US.  even it's own sense of uniqueness and exceptionalism is really as common as dirt, as too would be the inevitable destruction of its current form.  

In 300-500 years There may still be a future "United States" that would be to the United States of the last 240 years as the Byzantine empire was to republican Rome.  But that hardly mean the United States with what idealists of the past might have defined as its justicational attributes had not already been destroyed long before that time.

The continent of America may just last a few billion years, although that is unlikely.   More likely it would repeatedly collide and merge with other continents, and then be dismembered by rifting events until, in a billion years or so, it would be in numerous widely separated fragmentd attached to different, yet to be created continents.

If the political construct recognizable as United States in any meaningful sense were to last 500 more years, I would be absolutely astonished.

America is fine...for now.

Uh, no.  I think it likely the period of the decline and fall of the political construct of the United States, while probably would transpire to be a painful and convoluted, perhaps bloody, process, would be marked by future historian as having overtly begun with the election of Trump.

The worms have been eating the heart out of the tree for several decades now.  But the election of trump is perhaps the first audible "crack" as the trunk begins its slow motion break and the fall to the ground.

I'm still trying to figure out how the gays and Lesbians and atheists some how managed to wheedle and cajole the evangelicals and fundamentalists into embracing the cultural rot and moral decay that President elect Trump represents.

They made evengeicals want to put a creature into the White House that would bring about end times. Clearly it had to be a man, who ostentatiously think himself good looking, and Obama didn't cut it.
