At the risk of sounding like an edgy reddit atheist...
God isn't real, and most of those teens don't believe in him as there is no evidence such a thing exists.
"God is mocked openly in the public square"
Lucky one. Other gods are forgotten.
You know what I love in my government? Religion /s
The weirdest part is if an uprising ever happen in the US due to their decades of terrible policy making; they'll blame the gays and Muslims for it all. So yes, their technically right...
This "reasoning" is quite similar to what patriarch Kirill of Moskov declared a year ago, with the difference that it referred to the depraved "West" (not US specifically). He was harshly criticized by western media and even ridiculed for being expression of a retrograde and superstitious approach to religion.
Ironically, now the most democratic country of the world, the homeland of freedom itself, is having its political (not even religious) leaders telling basically the same thing.
How quickly the tide turns.
Most democratic country is Norway.
USA is at position 26.

I'm having difficulty with the bit where you call the USA the "homeland of freedom itself". I know Americans like to believe they live in the best country in the world but the evidence to the country is pretty substantial.
Personally I think that a free country probably doesn't have a police force that's killed more of its own citizens than a hostile nation state could ever hope to achieve.
now the most democratic country of the world, the homeland of freedom itself

In mysterious ways, right?
Did anyone read the email? It’s basically out of 1940. Also,

The most recent YRBSS survey included the two following new options for students to describe their sexual identities: “I am not sure about my sexual identity (questioning),” or, “I describe my sexual identity in some other way.”
Lmao. “NO! You have to be SURE about it! Have straight sex NOW!”
Mike longed to see depraved gay teens being punished, but he can't watch those videos without his son knowing.
Can he smite the hate-filled GOP first?
Why would I repent to a god so insecure it can’t handle mortal mockery?
Someone found dad's yiff stash and really pissed him off
Well it would be his own son who found it because they are browser activity accountability buddies
Your presence is punishment enough.
We need some sort of sanity test before allowing people to take office in the U.S.
Of course the first people they'll come for is trans people and other people will allow it
Cool... cool cool cool... So if it's Gods job you are going to start taxing the rich and providing services and governance? No? Ah beans.
