After 9-11.....who did you turn to?

Question

I am a born-again christian and have been for 7 years now....praise God. After 9-11, I can only imagine how many atheists cringed when everyone (including liberal democrats) were singing 'God Bless America' and 'Glory Halleluah'.

So I ask again.....who did you turn to on that terrible day.....yourself? I certainly hope not.

May God be praised forever......

Answer 1

I turned to God in march 1994, I converted to HIM that day, and will be with HIM forever in Jesus name.
-----
The on thing that I heard is that after 9-11 many people converted to Muslim, which I was very surprised with that.
By the way, who made that comment was an Arabic person.
-----
I respect everyone, even if I don't agree with their believes.
I met some Muslims, they are nice people.
9-11 happened because a Muslim guy, Bin Laden, he took his religion the wrong way.

A lot of people blame religion for their choices and decisions, that have nothing to do with God.
-------
God didn't create religion, men did.
God created the human and teached us to have faith in him and to put in to practice what is written in His Words (Bible).

Sorry I extended my answer, but one subject leads to the other =D

Answer 4

I've been born again since age 7, over 40 years. I'm not bragging on myself when I say this, but 9/11 did not rock my world--I just kept on clinging to my faith in God.

Answer 5

i imagine Invisible Talker has the finest answer thus far. it isn't a lot cowardice as people reacting again to the worst hardship-loose denominator of their concern. Brings out the worst. and gives you people the prospect /excuse to be reactionary, extremely of suffering to stay via the beliefs of the finest of this u . s . a .. attempting to be tolerant, allowing others perspectives that make you grind your teeth - it really is difficult. What a relief to have an excuse to fall again on an "us vs them" mentality. so that you ought to call them moral cowards, or morally lazy. And no count number what number cases the quote is repeated: "those who ought to commerce liberty for protection will quickly have neither.",....precisely it really is finished. starting up up eavesdropping, weakening habeus corpus. something pronounced as a "Patriot Act" is a purple flag that that is something profoundly, stinkingly unpatriotic. Our Founding patriots ought to have repudiated it with all their will. weird and wonderful that i got here upon your question immediately. i grow to be purely down at floor 0 immediately. not planned. Took my brother and relatives on a touch sightseeing close by, and realized we were close, so stopped via. Stirred up some anger, i will inform you that. not at susceptible minded individuals. They make me dissatisfied, regardless of the indisputable fact that the anger I have for the Muslim terrorists who attack us is only separate and of a diverse order. it should be ugly to describe.

Answer 6

Yes, actually, I did. And my family, both my family of choice and my family of blood.

Of course, I didn't have a lot of time to think about it, I was too busy getting my search & rescue gear ready because my team was activated and told to be ready to head to the nearby airport or air force base for a flight to NYC at 15 minutes notice.

So besides praying to your magic sky daddy, what'd you do to help?

Answer 7

I turned,and still turn, to an old American Indian fable:

A grandfather said to his grandson, I have two wolves inside my self. They fight all the time. One wolf is angry and ferocious and unforgiving. The other wolf is loving and forgiving and understanding.

The grandson asked, Which wolf will win, Grandfather?

The grandfather answered, The one that I feed.

Answer 8

Same folks I always turned to, my friends and family.

See, the great thing about not believing in God is that when something inexplicably horrific happens, like 911 or the tsunami for instance, you aren't left vexing yourself with the question "But how could my loving God let something horrific like this happen to people, innocent infants especially?"

Since you do not believe there's a God, you don't have to vex your soul searching for an answer to that question. You never get an answer anyway.

Answer 9

I cried, I prayed, I called my husband, I cried some more, I ate some donuts, I watched TV, I went online and talked to friends, I prayed some more then ate more donuts and watched more TV.

oh, I was pregnant at the time lol.

Answer 10

I can't remember turning to anybody, but I'm not American. I just sat there appalled that people could commit such an act.

As to the songs, that is of no matter. I will sing "God save the Queen" as lustily as anyone, and I particularly enjoy "Jerusalem". It is because they refer to my country, not the god who happens to get mentioned.
