So the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson wrote a thought before the Queen's address to the U.K: Mother Nature has sent us to our rooms . . . .
She got no flack for that.. ok..fine.. NOW, replace the words "Mother Nature" with Almighty God has sent us to our rooms . . . . Imagine the BACKLASH!!!!

I think that worrying about what the world thinks about references to the Almighty is misplaced emphasis. Our calling is not to make the world like us in every way or to get them to even tolerate us. It is to live according to the image of the God we claim to represent. So let the heathen rage, ignore, accuse, criticize, and abuse. We represent the love and righteousness of God, not his judgment or punishment.
Be a little slower to demand our "rights as Americans" or to make declarations about the state of the nation (real or imagined — and none of that was included in the quoted post). If we are asked to comment, we can even do that with love rather than with steam coming from our ears. The world still is under the influence of the evil one. Don't expect to change it with "Christian outrage."
