[HiTech RedNeck]

To get it back from China would be a moderate miracle. The things that sabotage it, virtually all come from a loss of the sense of God and God's love. That was the thing that commonly kept US capitalism from getting utterly cut throat. Don't think that capitalism sans God isn't any less cut throat because it's going on out of our sight and coming in neat containers. The left isn't weeping over Chinese sweatshops, demanding the things that have become de rigueur in the USA.

Like it says in this song (laugh at it or no), by the loyal love of God above, the "redneck" (of all colors) "gits 'er done."

If Jesus showed God's love to us while we were yet sinners, then is it not our job to show God's love to sinners in our Christian goal of becoming like Christ?
So then, could it not be that the primary people at fault for [society] losing a sense of God's love the Christian?

This makes much sense if 2 Chronicles 7:14 can be applied to the Christian church:
if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
