    More like the spirit of antichrist is taking over.

    It's going to get worse. The UK is on it's way to becoming a completely Godless society.

    well, it's not faring so well here in the States, either, but what is special about the UK is that you have a relatively small underclass yet they have an out-of-wedlock birthrate of over 47%, and people like this retiring judge are celebrating it:

    Communist Manifesto (Chapter 2)

    sure, they'll be all for anything that helps achieve that goal.

    A ridiculous statement. So you think the UK is worse than the Philippines, Venezuela, N. Korea, Russia, China,.....?

    The out-of wedlock birth rate in the U.S. is 40%. Not much to brag about.

    The only Godly society there should be is the Church. For a Baptist, you sure sound Constantinian...

    Yes, because you have tasted freedom, You have lived in a Godly nation, and you rebelliously turned from it.
    The ridiculous statement is the one made by your moron judge.

    Baptists now believe the Church should dominate politics.

    That's the attitude I would expect out of a Brit.

    You can blame that mostly on black Americans. 72% out of wedlock births.

    Or someone not stuck in an Old Testament view of the nation state. Phil 3:20 - God's moved on. Do keep up.

    Black, do you welcome and applaud the decline of the nuclear family, like this pile-of-krap judge?

    It depends what you mean by 'nuclear family'. If by it you mean just parents living with children in a household, then that concept is a fairly (largely post-Industrial Revolution) recent phenomenon; a far more 'traditional' model of family is the extended family including grandparents and perhaps the odd cousin or uncle and aunt all living together under one roof.

    So you'll have to be more precise in your definition

    Your theology, like that of most of your countrymen, is apostate. It has fallen away from The Truth.
