A Countries Sinfulness
I have heard preacher's say, "America needs to repent of its sin. Turn to God." So, the questions I have are: Do countries sin? How do countries sin? Or is sin individual? Private? Personal? If countries do sin, then what sin do you think your country struggles with the most? What is your countries biggest sin? Is it idolatry, greed, oppression, sexual immorality? Can and how can an entire country repent? Is it practical or possible today? How or why? Should we focus on the country as a whole or indivduals when talking about and dealing with sin? Why?
What do you think?

A country is nothing without it's people. Countries cannot sin, only the individuals that make up that country.

Countries are made up of people who live under an umbrella of agreed upon culture. Today, less is agreed upon and we have become a fractious people. We are forgetting to live in the joy of the God who loves us and reacting to the world with escalating anxiety and fear. This turns us into, as Paul calls it, "people of wrath." In our wrath we turn away from loving others as ourselves, the second great commandment. When we turn from God's will for us (to live in a loving community and to help one another), that turning away is sin.
