"Sir, give me this water" - Intangible Change




Tokyo JR Railway Station, Japan

Intangible Change

It is said that the 9/11 Terror on New York and the Pentagon changed the US decisively.

Today, however, can we identify big changes America has exhibited in these 12 years, though still some American soldiers are engaged in battles in Afghanistan?

Especially if it had been an act of God, the terror, could we find any spiritual effect among Americans?  Have Americans become more religious or spiritual than before to any direction or in any sense?

Will a history textbook in future read that since the 9/11 Terror Americans changed drastically to be very pious people?

For example, after the Civil War, the American society changed so drastically.  And, after the Vietnam War, the American society changed so drastically.  So, after the 9/11, the American society must have changed so drastically, too.  The symbolic incident is the election of Mr. Obama as US President.  But, something intangible must show a more grave change.  The question is what it is specifically.

Have more Americans come to pray to God than before the 9/11 tragedy of 2001?  That is a question, anyway.

Joh 4:15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
Joh 4:16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Joh 4:17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
Joh 4:18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
Joh 4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
