A few days ago, I received a bill from my Doctors office. I ripped it open and jumped straight to the bottom line, which showed a balance due of $238.88. Immediately, anger began to rise in my spirit. I know my insurance coverage. I always pay my deductible before I leave the office. How could I possibly owe $238.88? For that matter, how / why should I owe them anything at all?I was reaching for the phone to call and chew somebody out, when my eye finally drifted back to the top of the document, and I realized that the name on the bill was that of a neighbor who lives one block over. It seems that the mistake was partly the postmans fault, and partly mine. He had delivered the bill to the wrong address and I had opened it without noticing that it wasnt addressed to me. I was reading somebody elses mail!Im Offended!Thinking back over this strange experience, it is not so different from the phenomenon of increasing anger even outrage over Christian doctrine. In most cases, that means people are angry about things which are written in the Bible. If you go online and read blogs about science, faith, or politics, you are likely to find angry comments from readers who take offense at...more

Its been debated over the years. Is America a Christian nation? If not, was it ever a Christian nation or has this nation always been a secular nation at heart? These days in this debate it seems more and more of the loudest voices are claim the United States is certainly not a Christian nation today and many even suggest that the idea that America was a Christian nation at any point is just a myth. So, what is the truth?What Do You Mean Christian Nation?First we really should define what it means to say that America is a Christian nation. Certain countries, like Iran, in the Middle East are called Islamic nations. When people refer to these nations as Islamic nations, they mean that the nation has an official religion, Islam, and that the government of that nation is a Theocracy. In other words, the heads of the Islamic religion in the country are the head of the government and the laws of the country are determined by the religious, Islamic laws.When people refer to America as a Christian nation, though, they are not using the term in the same way as described above for the Islamic nations. Nobody is saying that America is a theocracy (other than some on the extreme fringes)....more
