What I meant is that not enough Christian men and women (i.e. "good people") who actually care about the Republic dedicate enough time and effort to public service.
And I stand by my statement that this is not a Christian nation. It is a nation founded by a majority of Christian men and women, but it is not based directly on the Ten Commandments or the words of Jesus. It is based on an agreement of how men and women are to be governed by themselves, not by a dictatorship and not by God directly.
The argument of whether we are ruled by Christ or men in America can be laid to rest with one simple question: In the USA, is the supreme authority of the land vested in the Constitution or the Word of God?
Excellent point, but to be fair, the Constitution was written by God fearing Christian men...so they are intertwined and if we were to get back to our Christian roots and heritage, we would have absolutely no trouble understanding and following the Constitution.
Wrong...the reason we have drifted so far from our guiding principles is because we drifted away from Christianity.
