It was rebellion against the Lord. It is very evident that as a nation, we have denied the Lord and turned away from God. Many of the laws of our land and much of the public policy upholds that which God's word clearly condemns. This condition will never be remedied by treating the symptoms. There is only one remedy for rebellion and turning away from the Lord and it is repentance.
True repentance involves an acknowledgment of sin and a turning from sin.
Our land is guilty of national sins, and nothing short of national repentance will be the answer. We are outraged at Medical Doctors who are so incompetent as to treat only the symptoms of a life threatening disease. That is the basis of a suit for malpractice. Yet as a nation we seem to be content to continue treating the symptoms while ignoring the disease. In the past other nations have died while treating the symptoms.
