Since the USA is a Christian based and created society, when will we have a real awakening to God? When will we take our children and our Morals back to where they should be. With God!

READ your History FOLKS.. I am not asking for a Church State. Just the fact that our Government was started on Christian Principals and should remain that way. Not force anyone to goto church, but at least post 10 commandments or things of that nature.

Change starts with the man in the mirror or in my case, woman.
LOL, I agree with your sentiments, but realize that asking or wondering in not gonna do anything. You and I, need to start revival and awakening within ourselves, family, and home, and then maybe it will spread from there.

How could anyone who claims to be an intelligent, educated person think that the government should support anyone religion. That means by putting things like the Ten Commandments on government property, putting the word God in the Pledge of Alligiance or having prayer in school.
It may not be in the Constitution, but you know well that we can't have a free and just nation if the government supports any one religion.
Those ideas are dangerous and are leading us to injustices for people who don't believe what the government supports.

Yes, it will be the falling away or apostacy, defection from truth. This is happening right now.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Most think Christ will rapture the church which is not Biblical. When Satan is booted out of heaven to earth he will deceive the whole world. Satan will have a revival and deceive all that believe the lie of rapture.
The so-called church that believes the rapture lie is THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS.
The so-called church teachs the fallacy of rapture and causes confusion which is MYSTERY BABYLON.

Since when has the USA been a theocracy? The great revival of the Christian faith will be when the Christian Right get's it's nose out of government's butt and tends to redeeming their own folly. Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars! Follow your own scriptures!

In a sermon of October 1831, Episcopalian minister Bird Wilson said, "Among all of our Presidents, from Washington downward, not one was a professor of religion, at least not of more than Unitarianism." The Bible? Here is what our Founding Fathers wrote about Bible-based Christianity: Thomas Jefferson: I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology. Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the earth. Jefferson again: Christianity...(has become) the most perverted system that ever shone on man. ...Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and importers led by Paul, the first great corrupter of the teaching of Jesus. More Jefferson: The clergy converted the simple teachings of Jesus into an engine for enslaving mankind and adulterated by artificial constructions into a contrivance to filch wealth and power to themselves...these clergy, in fact, constitute the real Anti-Christ. Jefferson's word for the Bible? Dunghill. John Adams: Where do we find a precept in the Bible for Creeds, Confessions, Doctrines and Oaths, and whole carloads of other trumpery that we find religion encumbered with in these days? Also Adams: The doctrine of the divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity. Adams signed the Treaty of Tripoli. Article 11 states: The Government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion. Here's Thomas Paine: I would not dare to so dishonor my Creator God by attaching His name to that book (the Bible). Among the most detestable villains in history, you could not find one worse than Moses. Here is an order, attributed to 'God' to butcher the boys, to massacre the mothers and to debauch and rape the daughters. I would not dare so dishonor my Creator's name by (attaching) it to this filthy book (the Bible). It is the duty of every true Deist to vindicate the moral justice of God against the evils of the Bible. Accustom a people to believe that priests and clergy can forgive sins...and you will have sins in abundance. The Christian church has set up a religion of pomp and revenue in pretended imitation of a person (Jesus) who lived a life of poverty. Finally let's hear from James Madison: What influence in fact have Christian ecclesiastical establishments had on civil society? In many instances they have been upholding the thrones of political tyranny. In no instance have they been seen as the guardians of the liberties of the people. Rulers who wished to subvert the public liberty have found in the clergy convenient auxiliaries. A just government, instituted to secure and perpetuate liberty, does not need the clergy.
oh yeah and Abraham Lincoln: "The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma."

personally I think of the explination of one of the kings dreams in teh old testament sorry I can't remember it better, but it was about gold then brass then clay or something like that. It got interpreted as the lenghts of rains of mighty empires and the clay is I believe us. The gold and the bronze were older. They have already passed, but our country has only been around for just over 200 years. I mean it was a biblical prophecy that we aren't going to have empires that last that long anymore. I do think we are trying to reach out to today youth though. I am a youth leader at my church and I have gone to things like battlecry you should check out www.battlecry.com.

The awakening begins within us. We need to be willing for God to awaken the world through us.

I think it will happen when the pope moves to Washington DC, invents a device to numb everyone's brain to not be able to think for themselves and three houses of government are 100% Republican

Haha.
Take a step outside of your little cave and see that the world has changed a lot since then.
Hmmm...
What about the priests that molest little boys? Is that a "godly" thing as well?
