When perfection is displayed, our inadequacies are also displayed. What to do? First, rid the nation or neighborhood of anything that is perfection. God is perfection. We just don't measure up to His standards. What to do? Remove any and all references to what God expects: Bible reading, The Ten Commandments and say it's offensive to mention the Lord Jesus Christ's name in public (except as a swear word). Say that any reference to God or thoughts of God should be kept private, or it will just ruin everything.
People will stop coming to events because one or two individuals will be "offended" if a prayer is prayed in Jesus' name. Just think if only one of the Ten Commandments was kept. Stop and think what a difference our world would be.
Any honest student of the Constitution knows that the federal government will not establish any religion, but it does not say that it will prevent it. That would hinder the free exercise of it. That means it's the right of every citizen to pray in their own way. Our "book," the Bible, tells us to pray in Jesus' name.
So if an individual, organization, or the government itself tries to prevent the proper use of Jesus' name, they are not only rejecting the Son of God; but also disregarding the United States Constitution.
Joseph Stalin named people who argued his cause "useful idiots." He gave this term to those who didn't believe in it and who weren't in his click. The same can be said today. Repeating something that our (USA's) enemies says is being a "useful idiot." Being an idiot isn't hard, all you need to do is follow the crowd and repeat what the leaders say without thinking for yourself. Have a nice day.
