I don't believe Our Savior will punish us on the grounds of a random President's actions.
The US is not Teflon and God will not simply overlook this.

I can't even remember it. When did it happen? Has God punished us yet? #44 is out of office, why should #45 and the rest of us be punished?

Point to make: What Alabama is doing does not work to legalize gay marriage. In order to get married, people now have to go to a Preacher to get married. Not the Court House!

Now, if two gays find a Preacher to marry them........well, that can not be blamed on the State.

As for God punishing America, He will punish all peoples and Governments that do not obey Him. America included. But, He will NEVER forsake His children, so don't worry 'bout that.

Absolutely.
This is the point most people fail to understand.

I'm still waiting on God to punish us for so many things.
Homo butt lovin ain't the only sin.
True. May not be tomorrow, next month or even the next decade, but countries and people do reap what they sow.

The good 'ol US of A has called itself Christian from the outset. That is a good thing. We have grown away from our moral Christian heritage. That is a very bad thing. You are right, judgement is coming.

Hosea 4:1-3: "Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away." :cool:

This is also why I tell libertarians that social conservatives can be their friends and partners- sure theoretical ends are different, but interests tend to overlap.

Ezekiel8's objections notwithstanding.
