They have been tied together for far too long. We are NOT a Christian nation. There is no such thing in my opinion. But that's another topic. I agree that capitalism works because it is built on how things are. If anything, its one of the greatest cases for the existence of human tendency to default to sin. "The Fall" if you will. However, I wonder as Christ's followers, should we work for or be proponents of a system that is based on sinful tendencies, or should we champion something better, more ideal, seek to make it practical? Is that possible? I am unsure. Hence this conversation :) Thanks for your insight. Carl: I totally agree that Christianity and America need to be forever separated as two entirely separate entities.
