Letter to the editor: Has America turned its back on God?

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government (but) on the capacity of mankind for self government to control ourselves according to the Commandments of God.” — James Madison. Founding Father also hailed as the “Father of the Constitution”

Why cannot America control our borders, stop the killing of tens of millions of unborn children, define what a woman or man is, control our national debt and keep our cities safe? Why has the FBI been weaponized against some God-fearing Americans who speak up at school board meetings or want to attend Catholic Mass conducted in Latin? Why are very young children allowed to determine what gender they want to be and yet cannot be led in a prayer while in school?

Why is American citizenry turning into a morally illiterate, degenerate, pleasure-seeking society which continually demands entertainment so they can avoid the realities of life and truth as given in God’s holy word? Why have America’s church leaders turned the word of God into pablum while America sinks deeper into the cesspool of evil?

We, America, have turned our back on God. What will we do if God turns his back on us?
