We have to realize that we are Christians first and Americans second. The two do not go hand in hand. American capitalist economic policies are not scriptural mandates! When we realize this, the American church will prosper for the gospel. We may lose money as a nation. But if these people who are so adamant about the principles of scripture being played out in the public forum when it comes to moral choices in someone's personal life, why are they so adamant about the government not having any role in taking care of the sick and the poor?
This is not cut and dry for either side. For the political right and the political left we must both act with responsibility and honesty and realize that we are living a capitalist nation that was founded on Christian principles. The two are diametrically opposed at their individual core, but we must find a balance in ALL realms. And we must stop scare tactics and realize that we are Christians first and Americans second. But as long as we are living here we must learn how to be both.
