Why I Hate American Politics

In a word: idolatry. Here's a fun game we can all play, spot the idolatrous statement. It is so easy to play, listen closely for when you hear candidates attribute to America things which Scripture teaches are reserved for God. I emboldened a few places for convenience. Here is an easy one from Mitt Romney's speech last night (if you want more of the speech here is where I got it from):




This is about whether or not Washington will finally deal with the challenges we face, whether Washington is up to the task of helping solve these problem, taking advantage of opportunities, making sure that our kids and their kids live in an America that's the greatest nation on Earth. It must be. It has always been.
The world depends upon our sacrifice, our commitment, and dedication to peace and prosperity and to liberty. This is the greatest nation in the history of the Earth. We will keep it the hope of the Earth. With your help, we'll do it together.
Thank you so much!
