To: The Spirit Of Allegiance

"Theologically speaking, I don't see the United States mentioned in the Bible. The people of Bible had no knowledge of this land. The only prophetic utterances that deal with it are Genesis 49:22-26 and John 10:16, which are often cited by Mormons as a link to the Book of Mormon peoples. Even those scriptures only refer to the New World in general, not the United States specifically.

The Founders'intent was to create a climate of freedom where moral people could live according to the dictates of their conscience. If the people abuse freedom and abandon morality, then it's the whole "sow the wind, reap the whirlwind" thing. The problems with today is not that we don't have righteous laws; the problem is that people don't follow righteousness.

How badly I wish you were wrong, my Friend!


(footnote: some laws are themselves now evil....)
