This while Judeo-Christian concepts and symbols of God are banned, in fact actively driven, from the public square. This while those whose (self-perceived) superiority allows them to live either without God or with a vague concept of a god who wouldn’t dream of imposing rules of behavior on them rejoice in His banishment from American society.
Yeah. It’s made this country SO much better.
Yep, that about nails it.
ReplyDeleteI'm willing to bet a good number of those participants would tell you they are church-going, Trust-In-Jesus in one form or another people.

@Quizikle - Nope. I'm willing to bet they are the children of a generation whose god is named "I want".
ReplyDeleteI don't disagree - I do agree - but I still believe that's what they'd >tell< you ... and maybe even believe of themselves.
ReplyDeleteBut partially in their defense(?? a rationalization - not defense), they were raised on "You deserve..." and "It's your right" and "It's not your fault"
Q
@quizikle - Thanks for clarifying. And in turn, I agree with you - raised on entitlement and a lack of consequences for actions.
