Freedom Is Not Automatic

I wrote the following post as a reply to a letter written to Yahoo defending freedom, free thought, debauchery and same sex marriage.

"Gayle, you are assuming that freedom is automatic. Freedom is not automatic. It has taken centuries to develop. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," is not some slogan. It  is a universal truth. The Word of God has been respected in this great nation. It was not respected in Sodom and Gomorrah. The more the Word of God is rejected, the more that God will withdraw His blessings. I know that He sends rain and sunshine to both the good and the evil. However, does not the Word of God declare: "Draw close to God and He will draw close to you"?  The further you get from God, the closer you get to evil.  And also, as a nation, the closer we will be getting to a tyrannical, police state and a third world society. Nevertheless, God's people will still be here. They are the light of the world. Jesus said that His believers are the light of the world. They will continue to be a blessing to this nation. Incidently, same sex marriage is not "modern," it has been rejected for centuries because the Word of God prohibits it, and because it produces no children. How can nations continue to exist with no posterity?"
