Today I was watching "Law Abiding Citizen" when I realized something interesting. In the movie Jamie Fox gets sworn in as the new District Attorney, and as this process begins, the mayor tells him to go get the Bible off the shelf. He then proceeds to make an oath to do this and that, work for justice, etc. My question is: If this country is not founded on Christian beliefs, if there is a separation of church and state, why the oath on the Bible? This country is not just jogging away from its beginnings, it is fleeing from them as fast as its giant, nuclear, God persecuting legs can take them. Why do even movies recognize this fact, but us, the American people, do not? This gave me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I couldn't believe how messed up and uprooted this country has become...We're so out of touch with our roots that even Hollywood knows them better than the average "intellectual". That's sad...Hollywood getting something right when its countries leaders can't. That's the definition of sad. When Hollywood is on track more so than our leaders our country is in some serious trouble.
Why do those put into positions of authority have to swear on the Bible, but we as the American public deny our identity so passionately? This is discouraging and encouraging to me at the same time. It upsets me because that's how lost we really are, but it encourages me because it lets me know how badly the world truly needs to hear its message again. When our Nation collapses, where is the first place people flock to? God and Prayer. Always, and every time. We should live as though our nation is falling apart at the seems every day because without God, it is.
So lets get back to our roots America because a Godless nation is a broken nation. The closer we get to abolishing God from our country, the further down the whole we sink. It's time to recognize it, and beg Him for forgiveness so we can be dug out.
