With all the wars, debates, drug abuse, prostitution, fornication, gang violence, high blood pressure, cancer, etc. what really matters in life is what you get from your said religion or way of life that makes a positive contribution to civilization.
Heb. 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Every living being in nature is required to take care of itself, therefore all must self govern. A righteous Nation must govern itself under the laws of God Almighty, in doing so such a Nation receives Blessings.
