The way I heard one pundit on CNN today, you need to be willing to change on basically any belief you hold if you are any type of government employee.\u00a0 Hence, we will see a tendency for more immoral and amoral people to occupy governmental positions as any with a semblance of historical morality are not really welcome.<\/p>\n<p>As I wrote before, the government of the USA is becoming more and more &#8216;political&#8217; in how it determines which laws to enforce and not enforce.\u00a0 Which employees or officials get bothered, and which get a pass.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of years ago, in the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah, people thought that sexual preferences should always be allowed, no matter what.\u00a0 Notice what happened to them:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>24 Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.

(Jude 7)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Homosexuality is a form of sexual immorality that involves going after &#8220;strange flesh.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The homosexual agenda is wrong and is helping to further push the USA to a path towards destruction (cf.
