Actualy it would affect you. You think the rigths we enjoy are always going to be so easliy enjoyed without some involvement?
We would not have them unless someone thought different than you.
THere are those that would totally secularize this nation and ultimatley remaove all vestiges of Christianity and it's (His) influence on our nation and the world.

I will ALWAYS have the freedom to worship... The early church had the freedom to worship. They were persecuted, but they were still FREE. No one can take the heart out of me that desires to praise my GOD and unless my mouth is stopped I'll continue to praise HIM! Throw me into a Coliseum sure, and you've made my life a testimony to the 20,000 souls surrounded to see the lions eat me. This was the thought of the early church and this is to be our train of thought. Also, I doubt America would get to this point. The USA will probably leave Christians alone, but keep removing GOD from our society, but that's fine, most things that call itself "Christianity" today are not Christian (ie. Nativity scenes, crosses, ect, ect...).

The loss of your freedom will start somewhere. Don't ever get to the place that you don't care what the world is doing with your freedoms.

I was watching a special on Hitler and the occult on the History channel today and it reminded me that "they" will often come for people that you may not like yourself before "they" come for you, at which point there is no one left to speak up.

This is how the 'dumbing down' effect starts...let's start with something small in seemingly insignificant and then we'll blindside them when they aren't looking.

It's not even that, but the fact that no one should be a target and 'removed'. Many would applaud if gays and communists were rounded up and sent to camps..... but it would be only a matter of time before Christians would follow. In fact, Christians would have been the ultimate target all along but it is well known by most (devils and humans both) that they don't squawk as loud when misfortune happens to those they disapprove of.

Exactly. This goes along with the intention of my post that it all starts when nobody is really looking or thinks it doesn't matter. That's why I'm not sure why people want to look the other way and make the statements they do as if it doesn't mean anything to them.

Youth can be so idealistic. You make it sound like what they went through was a picnic. If it happens, so be it. If I can make a difference and vote I definitely will.

This comment dear Bro. would offend any veteran that reads it. You really need to think before you type. There are reasons why you still have these freedoms in America!
