Okay, here is a book...or at least a chapter in it. Our country was not founded on the fact that we wanted freedom for all...especially religious freedom. That was a byproduct of the real point of the U.S., that we were to have to best system of government in the entire world.

So whether it happened only when public education became the norm or perhaps it was happenign before, but a system was put in place to teach that the founding fathers got it right and now we all reap the benefits of that. Well history has already proved that our system of government does not make people more peaceful, kind, or godly. So even our educations system began to promote a new hope, the corporation. That money success and capitalism will be the system that makes us more free.

Fortunately I think many are recognizing that these are failing. As we examine the nation we are, it is hard to not smirk hearing about us being a 'Christian Nation'. Our hope is in the Gospel alone. Maybe these thoughts are unfounded, or my lack of serious data to back them up allows them to be easily dismissed. But if they make any sense at all, then I have great reason to be thankful for cleaning our toilet for these are the things I think about why I do it.
