Our families are broken by divorce more than half the time and hordes of fatherless children cause mayhem in our nation.
Children have no respect for their elders and live lives of destitution born of foolish choices.
We have diseases and mental disorders in such growing number that no matter how rich or popular a person is we see them choosing death over life over and over.
Our enemies mock us, run us out of their nations and dare us to return and promise to bring disaster to our own lands and we do little to stop them and it has no real effect.
Our people are cheated and lied to and our leaders pretend it is truthful and defend the liars and cheats because of bribes passed to them in the form of campaign contributions.
Our children vanish with each generation and alien cultures that flood our schools are proof of the promise that God will take from us what He gave us because we have chosen death over life, foolishness over wisdom and nihilism over faith.
The atheistic scum that infest this message board is proof of this faithlessness and idiocy, especially the ones that pose as believers and alienate everyone with their lies and posturing.
The next time we shall know better and will not make the same mistakes again.
Curses From Mount Ebal
9 Then Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, Be silent, Israel, and listen! You have now become the people of the Lord your God. 10 Obey the Lord your God and follow his commands and decrees that I give you today.
11 On the same day Moses commanded the people:
12 When you have crossed the Jordan, these tribes shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin. 13 And these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal to pronounce curses: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali.
14 The Levites shall recite to all the people of Israel in a loud voice:
15 Cursed is anyone who makes an idola thing detestable to the Lord, the work of skilled handsand sets it up in secret.
Then all the people shall say, Amen!
16 Cursed is anyone who dishonors their father or mother.
Then all the people shall say, Amen!
17 Cursed is anyone who moves their neighbors boundary stone.
Then all the people shall say, Amen!
18 Cursed is anyone who leads the blind astray on the road.
Then all the people shall say, Amen!
19 Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.
Then all the people shall say, Amen!
20 Cursed is anyone who sleeps with his fathers wife, for he dishonors his fathers bed.
Then all the people shall say, Amen!
21 Cursed is anyone who has sexual relations with any animal.
Then all the people shall say, Amen!
22 Cursed is anyone who sleeps with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.
Then all the people shall say, Amen!
23 Cursed is anyone who sleeps with his mother-in-law.
Then all the people shall say, Amen!
24 Cursed is anyone who kills their neighbor secretly.
Then all the people shall say, Amen!
25 Cursed is anyone who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person.
Then all the people shall say, Amen!
26 Cursed is anyone who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out.
Then all the people shall say, Amen!
