The Civil War was the result of the SIN of slavery. If we had worked at abolishing it when we formed the United States, the Civil War wouldn't have happened. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote UNCLE TOM's CABIN. And President Lincoln upon being introduced to this lady allegedly remarked (tongue in cheek), "'So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war!'" Mrs. Stowe was a fervent Christian woman who knew that the slavery as practiced in America was unlike anything mentioned in the Bible and was entirely UNCHRISTIAN and UNBIBLICAL. It has only been through the influence of mostly Christian Men and Women that we strive continuously to be brought back in track. Right now we are facing a terrible pandemic. And I do see the good, the bad, and the ugly surrounding it. The one good thing is that the internet has kept people together and not entirely in isolation. Had this Covid19 virus been developed earlier, say 50 years ago, well what would we have done then?Without GOD we are DIVISIBLE. Only with GOD can we stand INDIVISIBLE with liberty and justice for all. Ideals are but cheap words unless they rest on an IMMOVABLE FOUNDATION. Only GOD is solid ground. All other is sinking sand. And the likely reason we don't sing that 4th verse is that it reminds some people that they are mortal and NEED GOD.There is only one line mentioning heaven, and one line mentioning God. Both in the 4th verse, which nobody ever even hears. If you think the song is stupid, meaningless, and idiotic without those two virtually unknown lines, then you are an idiot.
I'm sure that's what they tell you in your church. They tell you a lot of crap that just isn't true. However, assuming all your rhetoric is true, the country has been divided on racial, religious, and gender lines since it's inception, so your God sucks on that whole indivisable thing.
