American Religion II

I find nothing in the actions of the current President or his party to be demonstratably Christian. Other than using the name of our Savior and his church as a weapon of political power. The reason the United States is so God fearing and devout is that our faith has not been corrupted by the state. Europeans, for centuries, have had to contend with states deriving their power from God and so there is enormous religious cyicism there. It seems we wish to follow them. If the goal of my fellow Christians is to destroy our bond with Christ Jesus there is no surer way than to petition the corrupted powers of the Earth to intervine on His behalf. As if our God were nothing but a idol needing protection. At the fall of Troy, Aenius had to rescue his gods from the fires. St Augustine, in City of God, points out the stupidity of worshiping gods that need to be saved by men. My God needs no such saving. He does the saving.
