We the People of the United
States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,
establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,
provide for the common defence, promote the general
Welfare, and secure the
Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and
our Posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America.

The Bible says that if we obey God's Commandments, He will
bless us. Learn about God's blessings
here.
That same Bible says that if we disobey God's Law, He will
send curses upon us.
Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26 set forth some of the
blessings we can expect if we obey, and the curses which will
hunt us down if we disobey. Among the curses listed in
Deuteronomy 28 include crop failure, livestock shortages,
infertility, slumping production, spoilation, vandalism, fungus,
disease, pests, sickness, drought, hemorrhoids, eczema, mental
illness, broken marriages, eminent domain, confiscation,
military drafts, centralized government, debt, (and at verse 45
I quit and say) etc.
In 1892 the Supreme Court of the United States agreed that we
are a Christian nation. America was the most prosperous and
admired nation in history.
In the 20th century, the federal government declared itself
to be God, and denied any obligation to follow America's
Founding Fathers and seek the blessing of God.
America has gone from the most prosperous and admired
nation on earth, to a pornographic warmonger nation that is bankrupt
and despised.
Bankruptcy and debt are explicitly spelled out in the Bible
as curses upon a disobedient nation. God has thus far withheld
most of the curses we deserve.
The debt-curse now rearing its head over the United States is
a result of our shift in religion and our shift in behavior.
Religious Shift
Both before and after the ratification of the Constitution,
America as a nation acknowledged its duty to be a nation
"under
God." The modern Supreme Court has repudiated that
duty, making America an officially atheistic nation. Never mind
that every single person who signed the Constitution believed
that America was and must always be a nation under God, and must
always acknowledge its duty to God, the Court frankly
admitted in ALLEGHENY COUNTY v. GREATER
PITTSBURGH ACLU, 492 U.S. 573 (1989):
| This
Court, however, squarely has rejected the proposition
that the Establishment Clause is to be interpreted in
light of any favoritism for Christianity that may have
existed among the Founders of the Republic.

The Court violates the central assumption of American
Constitutional interpretation: that the document is to be interpreted
in light of the original intent of its Framers. The Court
now believes it can make the Constitution "mean" anything
it wants. And what the Court wants is to "be
as god." And that means getting the real God out of the
way by declaring, as the Allegheny Court went on to say,
that
This is a lie. The
Framers of the Constitution intended no such mandate, and never
observed any such mandate. Just as all individuals have a
duty to worship God, so do nations. America's
Founding Fathers honored that duty. The Constitution did not
repeal that duty. (The duty to "remain secular," in
this particular case, means the duty of the government not to
acknowledge Christmas.)
Behavior Shift
The United States used to be committed to obeying the
Ten Commandments, also known as "the
Laws of Nature and of Nature's God."
The United States now seems committed to flagrantly
disobeying as many of God's Commandments as is humanly possible.
America is doomed.
But God will be merciful if we repent, and we can once again
enjoy His blessings if we pursue
"Liberty Under God" rather
than security under man.
