Thank you Katherine for your words.There are still great people like you who have not lost the faith of their fathers, faith they held on to during the tough times of US origin and history.
The nations of the world still believe that America will someday wake up, and turn back to the God who has been write this beautiful story called America.

We do need a new vision in America. There is understandable concern in the way the country is being “remade” to suit the new regime in power. We are being drawn into a society where the government is supreme and will dictate our lives for us. Many voices have been heard, all in good faith; and huge sums of taxpayers’ money thrown at the problems of the economy. But words and money are not the answer. The future is precarious, the power in Washington is immovable.
We need a sincere cry in prayer by everyone in the nation to bring Almighty God to our side. We do not know where the answers lie. We hear a thousand voices and yet the solutions elude us. We have a great country, founded and dedicated to God and yet we have become blinded, believing that words and money will solve our dilemma. We turn to 2 Chronicles, 7:14 and find the only answer that will serve our needs today. Glen Beck asks the question, “Where is God in all of this?” Isn’t now the time to take heed and seek Him? Once Americans begin to experience His power, miracles will happen; I know it. I experienced it.

I would like to find one place to read a copy of Warren's prayer. Google seems to avoid letting me read the content and judge for myself.

"This country was founded with freedom in mind for all, however lately all anyone wants to do is take away the rights of the Christians. If you ever open a bible read about Soddom and Gommorrah, God is very clear how he feels about such things. I do not hate gay people but I do pray for their choices and do not wish to have them forced on me or my family"- I like this Kelly...

He will begin to sell out Americas soverenty and her independence as he steers her toward the global village, one world government, one world economy and one religion. This would be great if the people at the top were the " good guys" but what if they are the " bad guys".
The picture will look like this, at the top of the world religion will be the Antichrist who is the Pope and vatican who in reallity is the ultmate false "Jesus Christ " who sells out humanity because he teachers them that all roads lead to God and denies the truth of what Jesus says in his word. How can 2" truths" saying the opposite both be the truth. Bible believing fundamentalists who stand on the arthority of gods word will bein to be isolated as Obama and some of the big protestant preaches begin to sacrifice the word of god and submit and bow down to the authority of the pope with all the false religions under him. This conglomerate is nothing but Spiritual Babylon whos maker and Great Architect is nobody but lucifer. If you do a proper study you will discover all religions, secret societies etc lead back to lucifer, every religion other than the jewish faith moving into the revelation of God throuigh his son Jesus Christ. It only makes sense to trust in a God who is prepared to shed his blood thats why Jesus said " i am the good shephed , i lay down my life for the sheep". If you are prepared to research the facts and accept the truth there is overwhelming evidence of Jesus life , death and resurrection. Jesus Christ is the only one worthy of trust , glory and honour because he laid down his life. Lucifer the "Light bearer " who transforms himself into an angel of light is the father of all lies deception and secrecy he deceives people in the occult and then inturn uses them to popergate more lies in false religions and in so doing builds a huge network of lies and deception. Lucifer the auther of all the false religions and gods is not love and cannot demonstrate as much. God has not hidden himself , his love , his intentions, and his truth , he has come in the flesh , died in the flesh and raised to life to prove who he is. He has revealed himself in the flesh. This is why if you have heard the truth about Jesus Christ and the word of God you are without excuse if you reject them and choose the lies out there. You have to be very sure you have looked at the overwhelming evidence of the Truth of Jesus Christ who has come to us in time and space in history before you pass judgement because you will just be deceiving yourself.

To Americans & non-Americans living in America, who however fail to appreciate your privilege position, why don't you come to your senses and repent. Try little history lessons and you will discover on what principles the US was founded. The spirit of its founding years is freedom to believe what they wanted to believe and practice, as they were not free to do think in Europe under an oppressive religion.
So that the freedom of religion and "separation of church and state" was written in this context, so that it is illogical to use it against its original intention - to believe and profess what it wanted without being suppressed. And America fought for its freedom - her right [but remember this freedom would really consider the majority, and majority of USA are evangelicals], so why talk so impolitely of a civilization which have been so tolerant of your perversions and irresponsible use of your freedom. Be thankful- since you are still in the minority, but if you are so difficult to control, those who are faithful to its founding spirit would decide to use freedom to fight for what is right.
* In the contribution of Protestant Christianity to America, please realize, it has done much, much good. And so Atheist - perverts enjoy there freedom. So do not reverse the equation...You should be grateful, since you are not being burn at stake, instead you would like to destroy the very system which was considerate of your right to be, even if it is wrong.
*** So respect the rights of the majority of USA to be in his/her Lord and Savior.
**** By the way - I am a Filipino...
