time ans time again on answers we have people who say.
Nobody takes any notice of what the Church says.
God is a myth
Only the mentally deficient need God
The concept of God is to control the masses
Modern man does not need a friend in the sky
etc.etc

If we look in the Old testament we find that each and every time the Israelites broke from God and worshipped idols a time of hardship followed.
When they returned to God things got better. They had to suffer the consequences but the real hardship was relieved. tHIS DID NOT MEAN INNOCENT BLOOD WAS NO SHED but the blood was shed as a result of sin.

I may have put things badly here but it appears that when nations deliberately flout God's laws they are in for a rough time sooner or later.

Thoughts would be of interest
