‘Jews and Christians’ that live in America enjoy the god of this world’s freedom and liberty right along with the atheists and other faiths. and that freedom and liberty gets pumped into godless areas not yet fully ‘blessed’ with that secular humanism which is the true state run religion of america..
It is not the freedom and liberty the Messiah brings..
But July 4th is a holy day..
And it sort of explains why december 25 and easter are holy days too..
The absolute freedom and liberty that the Messiah brings, is wrapped up in salvation. Obviously no one is saying America is saved. What I am saying is that the Judeo Christian input into our western civilization is what made it great, and to the extent that there is freedom and liberty here, it is a gift of that background. We all know that as the USA retreats and repudiates the Judeo Christian input, we become more and more bound and yes pagan(holidays).
