    Psalm 66:2
    "Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious."


    Psalm 86:12
    "I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore."


    Revelation 4:11
    "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."


    Psalm 145:3
    "Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable."


    Psalm 115:15
    "Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth."



    These are only a few verses of how God deserves all praise and honor. And I truly believe God does.

    But my question is this... The Christian population in the land of Turkey is only 0.2 percent.

    How are the Christians in Turkey or in any non-Godly Land able to Praise and give honor and Glory to God while living under such 2nd class citizenship statuses? How can anyone, for that matter, Praise and Give Honor and Glory, to God Almighty, while living under the subjection of corruption of any sort? How is God worthy to receive any Praise for Corruption?

    What did he do to earn praise if he exists, I say let him reveal himself and tell us a clear message and do good things for humans to earn this praise and keep the good things up.

    Joshua 6:20-21New International Version (NIV)
    20 When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city. 21 They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.

    There is no such thing as my God or your God or their God. God is God. Regardless which human being believes or does not believe, God will always be God with or without any human believers. God is God regardless of who believes or does not. You are you regardless if another person believes or not. You live and exist without the need of any other person to help you breathe.

    So you say the question is "how". I don't see how any 2nd class citizenry has any impact. Are you implying that ability to praise God is somehow given by the state? Do you believe slaves in Egypt were unable to praise God because they were slaves, rather than citizens?

    Well that's one way of not answering a direct question....I didn't expect a religious person to answer it:

    FoxHastings said:

    Now , if I take out the word "your" would you then be able to answer the question or would you find another way to get around it?

    I thought god KNEW what people were thinking....so can't these people silently praise god??
