I have said before that America is a secular nation. There is little fear of God here anymore. Lord, have mercy.

This is the first I've heard of this. I live in California, and this does not surprise me at all. California may be the first state to fall, and it may be soon. We have many Orthodox Christians here, and may God protect us all.
