A Plea to All Christians

Secondly, I never claimed America was better in the past or not. I simply agreed with the viewpoint that many Christians espouse that America used to be a Christian nation.

Thirdly, whether it was a Christian nation or not, it is not one today. 

Lastly, I never called for a return to a Christian nation (and even if I did, I certainly wouldn't call for a return of slavery, women's suffrage, etc. as well). I called for a return to Christian roots. Back to the teachings of Jesus where we are to LOVE our enemies, to turn the other cheek, etc. 

Here is the problem.  Your "proof" that the United States was no longer a Christian nation was the things that have become acceptable.

"A nation that has become okay with pre-marital sex, adolescent sex, recreational drug usage, cursing, divorce, and a whole host of other issues is not a Christian nation."


Yet you insist that a country that was okay with slavery, slaughtering native Americans, and denying equal rights to women was a Christian nation.


See the problem with that argument?


If you want to claim that we are no longer a Christian nation you need to post some numbers about the percentage of citizens who are Christian, because there were much more evil things accepted back in the time you are claiming we were a Christian nation.
