Back in the day if you didn't believe in God, you were an outcast....Today, if you talk about your beliefs in God, you're weird as well as an outcast. What went wrong?

Take church building archetier for example. When immigrants came here NewBedford/Fallriver(or city for that matter) if you go down county street in NB you'll see many tall Church's made imported stone in some, steeples as high as they can make them...awesome archetier, there like minnie cathedrals, why, because people put their faith in God and when they got here they realized their prayers where answered they wanted to glorify him the best way they knew how. It wouldn't be realistic to say they should continue to build such structures but look how much times have changed.
When I was a kid every Sunday the church was full. People standing on the sides and in the back and this just didn't happen to be at my church,, I have spoken with many people who say the same thing.
It's about "truth". When we read scripture it doesn't take long that you find out that your being spoken too, that your involved in the story. The bible is the owners manual for our well being...but we now know everything. As long as we have a roof over our heads and food in our bellies and a good money flow then that's whats important because that's what society says. But the real truth is Gods ways are not our ways and when we go against the grain we get splinters. At this point the world is beyond splinters. People don't feel comfortable hearing the truth, the truth sometimes hurts. The truth is a compass, and without guidance(bible) we are lost and that's why society is where it is today.
