This is, for the most part, in my opinion, a good post; however, suggesting that people are granted freedom of conscience is NOT to favor that which they choose. Also, I think you discount the great blessings bestowed upon the church in the United States. Given historical perspective, this nation has given Christianity tremendous freedom, tremendous opportunity, and a tremendous vehicle by which to evangelize through all manner of ministries.

The Church cannot be touched until God allows it, you're right. Thus the Church presently enjoys the freedom to meet and operate as she pleases. That does not change what is going on all around the Church, which is nothing short of jaw dropping sin. EVERYWHERE. The internet and the entertainment industries are literally awash in pornography. The number of out of wedlock births are nothing shy of astronomical, and nobody I know can actually tell us the true number. The Obama Administration put the quash on releasing that particular statistic, which as of 2012 was 47%. Safe to say that fully one half of the people born in this nation are wards of the state, which means taxpayers are on the hook and BTW, welcome the horrors of ObamaCare. The abortion rate is horrific, as is the murder rate. Drugs are so plentiful one cannot turn around without bumping into a dealer. And I don't care what you say, the sin of homosexuality is the quicksilver sin of swift and ultimate destruction. And it is both state sponsored and rampant.

Democrats in general call such ignorance 'moving the country forward,' Nancy Pelosi says they are all art students, and Chuck Schumer can't even talk about it without crying tears of joy.
