(and keep in mind that means there would be no athiests, agnostics, pagans, non-believers among you...)
Can you picture what your country would be like if EVERYONE believed in God, and actually obeyed him?!?!?!

For those who have difficulty comprehending, this question is a rhetorical question "What would happen if...". It is not asking do you think it will happen, or do you think it's possible... It is asking "can you imagine if this ever did happen, what it would be like"? (Use your imaginations people!!!)
Also, if an entire nation were obeying God than there would be no division among Christians,etc...because we would all be looking to God; not institutionalized doctrine.

A healing with in the land....the physical landscape as well as within the people's hearts and minds. Something so awesome it gives me God bumps (like goose bumps) just thinking about it.
Blessings,

Assuming you mean the Christian God?
Well, for starters, that'd shut down a lot of industry, assuming that everyone kept Kosher - so, no more shellfish, no cheeseburgers, no cotton-poly blend clothes...
Then we'd end up stoning kids instead of giving them timeouts... in fact, we'd probably end up stoning quite a few people.
Even if you add in the NT, there's still plenty of interpretations of those gospels that could make things *very* scary. And, heck, I'm a guy, I don't even want to contemplate the way how things would be for the women.
Quite honestly, if this country starting following every command in the Bible 100%, I'd consider it quite scary, and would bolt for the border as fast as I could.

Well seeing how Islamic extremists feel they are obeying God when they murder innocent people, and seeing how George Bush felt like he was obeying God when he sent troops into Iraq, I'd say this country would be in turmoil with constant warfare. Also remember, if everyone always believed in the same God, Christianity would never exist -- seeing how it originated from Jews who thought outside the box. And why are non-believers downplayed as if they are the scum of the earth? Just because someone doesn't have the same beliefs that you do does not mean they are mindless killers. Why would you want everyone to be on the same exact page? We learn more from one another when there are differences. If everyone thought the same way, life would be extremely boring.

the entire planet would be destroyed because no one would agree with what they were supposed to be obeying
plus emergency services couldn't work on a Sunday (or a Saturday) so all those fires would be out of control and no one would be able to help the burn victims till monday

I would be holed up with the Dalai Lama in Dharmsala. I don't want everyone to follow the same path as I do. I also do not want to live in a nation where I am not free to follow my path.
You do realize that when countries like Iraq are run by Islamic law, the Christians are the ones decrying the lack of religious freedom the loudest? Explain to me how this is any different?
Here's a hint look up the Christian Crusades and Spanish Inquisition.

God will heal our land. Which will give more people time to make the right decision about their lifestyle and possibly make it to Heaven.

I think that the second coming would have to occur first-but yes it would be very cool. But virtually impossible. Until we are perfected in Christ.

Complete and total collapse of society, if not due to the barbarism of Christianity, then due to all the contradictions.
