| Not lukewarm. Whole Hearted. Not double-minded
Jesus said "love your enemies," but too many church-goers don't want to "take that to an extreme." Jesus Christ said it's better to be dogmatic and wrong than it is to be apathetic and air-headed. It's better to be a fanatic Nazi or a dedicated Communist than to be a "moderate."
Americans are air-heads. They are more concerned with being accepted by the mainstream and the majority than they are pursuing the truth. The majority of Americans think of themselves as being independent "non-conformists" in some sense, and everyone conforms to this illusion together. You know less about American "arts and ways of life, and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ" than the Delaware Indians did. You know less about Christianity than the average 10-year old in colonial America.Samuel Adams would say you are a victim of educational malpractice, being a product of an education system which is prohibited from teaching students that the Declaration of Independence is really true. George Washington would say you need to be re-educated, de-programmed, and connected in an online community with others who wish to become extraordinary Americans. More |
