Christianity in America

There's a really good article in this week's Newsweek that covers the latest information on the growth (or no-growth) of Christianity in America.

It summarized pretty susinctly what I've been thinking about my Christian faith and how it really shouldn't be an overt force of being 'the government'. In fact the Bible specifically tells us not to rely on the government, but to really focus on our own relationship with Jesus and with one another. And that shouldn't be mandated through law.

Seriously, if this country were ever somehow to become a 'Beeda Beeda Country' where Beeda Beeda was some new faith that believed it illegal to own dogs and allow women to vote, I sure wouldn't want all of the Beeda Beeda politicians mandating that in the law.

Anyway, pretty insightful stuff....
