If you don’t think America has, or at least had a soul, then give it up now.
Define soul.
I am referring to a spiritual, eternal essence in individuals, not a nation.
The American spirit, on the other hand, is what made us great. It is what allowed us to cross the continent, go to the moon and take our place as a world leader.
Spiritually, that is also our greatest handicap. The same can do spirit that made us great leaves us open to religions like Mormonism. A non-Christian religion that tells us “we can do it, just need to do the best we can.” That attitude has permeated many churches. Osteen is a prime example. “We deserve the best, just grab it!”
I have no problem with Becks politics. But when he trots out a false god and Evangelicals swoon, we are asking God’s judgment on out nation.
