I also agree the Christians, like atheists and secular humanists all want the federal government to push their agenda instead of letting each society do it. Until we return to our founding principle of a "republic," we will continue our decline due to centralized power at the federal level and redistribution of wealth in a manner that will continue the loss of value of the dollar, the wage gap widening, the manufacturing jobs leaving and tax revenues not keeping up with spending.

They ignore way too many important issues. And this article from Ludwig Von Misses "inspired" me to become a blogger.

They'd rather sign petitions and pass out campaign literature. </i> I've personally found this to be true. I've done "Hands on Atlanta" for several years now and the only churches that show up to help are mainstream denominations and black evangelicals. The white evangelicals don't come.
