What is up with that?

Today, the term "What is up with that?" is more common in America than it really should be. Like when we see abortion clinics thriving and test scores falling, that is often when we ask, "What is up with that?". Like when we see one or two people who can't stand prayer dictate what thousands of people will or will not do, that prompts the question, "What is up with that?". I can tell that people overseas can ask without bias or hatred towards America, "What is up with that?"

And it does beg the question; What is up with us? Have we really fallen so far as to completely aboandon the principles that made our nation great? Why would we do such a thing? Will we really leave the once proud and decidedly Christian country of yesterday in the dust of the new and hedonistic country of today? What would posess us to believe that living a lie is better than being convicted by truth? What would make us want to desert the very God that made us great for the lie that felled the "eternal" Roman empire? Don't we learn from history anymore? In my opinion, I believe that such is the case. How could we learn from history, yet allow all the things that we are allowing? There is no other explanation of why we are allowing homosexuality anywhere. The "unshakable" Roman Empire allowed first infanticide, then homosexuality. And then their empire was destroyed. If you can with a straight face tell anyone that we are not following the same path the Romans did, I don't know what I'll do. This can't go on. Judgement is sure, and it will be swift. There will be no time for repentance at the end. And with that, I bid you farewell. But before I go, I have just one more thing to ask you;

What is up with America?
