The government is their god, their creator, the holder of student debt, the arbiter of bankruptcies from freely given credit, and the provider of food stamps and ‘job training assistance.’ Lo, it is government who tucks them into bed with an unemployment check and lets them sleep in.
Just about.
The answer has always been shared by the bible. Share the gospel. And before it can be shared credibly, it has to be accepted and lived, otherwise you are out of your element.
When government replaces god in America, the American citizen becomes the victim of an ever expanding government. That government does not have as its philosophy the virtue of individual responsibility. In this void, no longer does the individual trust their own intellect and goes with the collective group think. Instead, the courage of an earlier generation with faith in God, has been replaced with excessive caution and a willingness to bow to government coercion. That is a major shift from the days when government oppression was resisted even unto death.
