Remind me again how this or bud light really affects your life?
These people are only hurting themselves. Your silence on this is violence. You think this will give them peace and freedom. It will not. People need to be warned and told the truth. Sin leads to misery and destruction. You may not care about what a Holy God desires for our lives, and for our nation, but there are still many millions of Americans that do, and we still have the right and ability to voice our beliefs. Along with many other passages in God's Word, Proverbs 14:34 states: "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people."
Here is more on the subject, since you asked how this affects our lives, and why we care. Let us learn from history. Do you know why Rome fell? It was for exactly the same things we see going on in our nation today.
https://www.bibleref.com/Proverbs/14/Proverbs-14-34.htmlLaws and government officials are, ultimately, extensions of the people. They are distilled versions of what that culture wantsor, at least, what it tolerates. When a nation is steeped in sin and rebellion against God, there are natural consequences. The strength of a nation might result in military or economic power, but the source of real strength is in the nation's moral character. Law and government will always turn towards the desires of the people, eventually. The presence of righteous individuals and families makes a nation strong, but wickedness in individuals and families degrades a nation and weakens it.
The book of Judges reveals these truths. When the people of Israel did was right in their own eyes but wrong in God's eyes, Israel succumbed to her enemies (Judges 2:1123; 17:6). However, when the people called out to the Lord, He delivered the nation from her enemies (Judges 3:911, 15; 4:3, 2324; 6:614; 10:1016).
Also, in the times of the kings of Israel and Judah, idolatry and rebellion against God caused the northern nation of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah to fall and go into captivity (2 Kings 17:68). However, Judah had some good kings and periods of revival, whereas Israel had neither, therefore Judah survived nearly a century and a half longer than Israel before finally falling to the Babylonians (2 Chronicles 36:1721; Daniel 1:1).
