| I am afraid for our times, for our nation and for our
world. It is disturbing to me to know that much is occurring in our lives which is
unethical, immoral and ungodly according to the way in which I have been taught to
believe, but have become acceptable to those who govern us. They force their evil
positions upon us, their constituents. Because of political value to them, acceptance of
what can be perceived as bad, is being allowed to be made right. Did not God say something
in the bible like, "Woe unto those who perceive sin to be made right"? That is
exactly what we are doing in this once-great nation right now. Our founders would be
appalled at the changes we have allowed to occur in our way of living today. We have
allowed homosexuality, abortion, fetal tissue research-tissue taken from those whom were
prevented from being born, selling of aborted baby parts, and now, stem-cell
research-cells taken from live embryos to be perfectly honorable in our lives. Perhaps
someday in the future, we will open the door to cloning of humans, euthanasia, elimination
of the mentally and physically handicapped and the elderly who need help to live to be
perfectly honorable as well. Are these the ways of good? If one belives in God, certainly
one must believe they cannot be the ways of a kind and loving God. The Pope is the highest
ranking representative of God on earth and he calls America a "culture of
death". Shouldn't we all listen to him and take heed of his words?
It is my belief that there will be grave consequences for practicing these unjust, evil
deeds. Wars were often a way in which God used to punish people for their sins. The
Blessed Virgin told her visionaries this just before World War One was to occur. Look to
the Balkins and the middle-east right now. The seeds of hatred, planted long ago, have
sprouted and now the fruit has ripened. If ignited, a war at this time, especially in the
middle-east, could spread swifly to other nations and the world would be embroiled in a
war the likes of which have never been seen before. God has provided mankind with the
technology to completely destroy themselves and has given us the guidance systems to make
this entirely possible. Could these be our rewards for tinkering with his duties? Nuclear
weapons ARE in the hands of many rogue nations right now. This should scare the hell out
of every freedom-loving person in America and on this mismanaged planet.
America is NOT the America as it was in the days of its founding. God was in the hearts
of our founding fathers and was an invaluable partner in the creation of this nation.
Where do we place God in our lives today? When we destroy life or attempt to change it in
any way, we are stepping into his realm, the realm of God. These are his functions and his
alone. No person on this planet has the right to experiment in any way with that life
which God has intended to be. May God have mercy on us all and our "culture of
death".
