America, Founded on Christian Faith?

I don’t know about you but I grow tired of hearing that America is the best country in the world. In addition, why are so many Christians convinced that America was founded on Christian principals?

What triggered me to write today was an article by Chuck Missler. I have much respect for him and for his work however, occasionally he will say something that does not sit well with me. Chuck is not the only person I respect who says things that are out-of-line with reality. Beth Moore, a person whom I have great respect for has said during one of her classes that America was/ is founded on Christian principals. She even gave the tittle of the book that convinced her of this non-fact. (I don’t recall the tittle).

Today I read an article by Chuck about global children’s rights and by all means, this is an important subject. However, there was one thing that Chuck said that was completely out-of-line with the truth. I quote, ” The United States has long appreciated the importance of defending children from violence and exploitation,” . If the United States has a long history of appreciation for the importance of defending children from violence and exploitation then my understanding of Americas history is greatly flawed. Our nation not only has a long history of exploiting children, our nation has a long history of exploiting everyone! Just to name a few, Native Americans, Africans, Hawaiians, women and of course our own children. What do all of these groups have in common? They were trusting, vulnerable, exploitable and unable to successfully protect themselves from rich white men. Here’s a link to a site that talks about the history of America’s child labor laws. http://www.continuetolearn.uiowa.edu/laborctr/child_labor/about/us_history.html

It was not long ago when whites (Europeans and Americans) considered Native Americans and Africans as non-human. In fact, I’m sure you can still find some people who still do. Let’s not fool ourselves about the realities of this world and particularly the United States. Our nation was, in fact, founded by Free Masons and many of them. George Washington was a 33rd degree Mason (this is the highest level one can achieve in the society and there are very few of them in caparison to the vast number of members). If you know something about the Mason’s, you probably think of them as respected community leaders, business owners and charitable givers. On the outside, Free Masons and the Scottish Rite seem to have other peoples best interest at heart. Well, let’s examine that.

What you do not know about the Free Masons is kept strictly secret. And, there are other societies that are closely associated to the Masons. For example, The Skull and Bones, which the Bush family is strongly associated with, and the Scottish Rite. What is most important to understand is that they carry out spiritual rituals that absolutely go against God and The Gospel. The majority of Masons do not realize or believe that these societies are, in fact, anti-Christ! Personally I know a strong Christian who believes the lies of the Masons, this is a very common reality. However, the truth is, the society is founded in paganism/Satanism. Fortunately, there are Christians out there who were Masons that are ready to talk about the deceitful nature of the society. Here are links that covers this subject. http://www.formermasons.org/; http://masonsforjesus.com/index.html

Being a “nice” person or giving to charities does not make one or imply that someone is a Christian! Even some people who claim to be Christian are, in fact, not! (Matthew 7: 21-23) Are you aware that Warren Buffet is a staunch Atheist but he’s a nice guy who will give billions to charities during and after his life. What about “Christian White Supremists”? Would Christ burn crosses in yards, torture and murder blacks, Jews or anyone else who wasn’t white or followed their ideology? As far as I know, Hitler was not a Christian, in fact, there is ample evidence that he studied and practiced “Black Magic” and followed the guidance of “fortune tellers”. However, many “Christians” appreciate what he did and want to follow in his foot steps. What’s more crazy is that some people deny that Hitler even murdered millions of Jews.

The United States is hands down the most materialistic and self-centered nation in the world! The majority seem to care more about sports, celebrities, video games and themselves than anything else. We are constantly bombarded with self-centered advertising and programing! We, as a nation, are obsessed with ourselves! We hate, we are greedy, we are envious, we are apathetic and we are delusional.Therefore, as a whole, we live our lives in the exact opposite way as Christ has prescribed. Our nation is also ranked 24th out of 62 for most murders (per ca pita) according to NationMaster.com.  I could go on and on but that is not necessary.

My point here is, let’s not eagerly pat ourselves on the backs or look at ourselves with rose tinted glasses. We all live in a fallen world and we are all sinners and there is no such thing as a Righteous nation. Israel may be “The Holy Land” but it is not Righteous. The United States is not Righteous either nor does it follow The Gospel and it never did! So let’s take our head out of the sand and look around. You might just find that our nation isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.

Therefore, let’s face the truth, there will not be a Righteous place to live until Christ returns to restore what was once pure. And it helps me to remember that all true followers of Christ are actually refugies displaced from our true home because this world is temporal and one day we will live where there is perfect justice, love and peace!
