Onward American Christian soldiers, Humbling!

GEORGE WASHINGTON STARTED OUT as an Episcopalian. At least, that's what his parents evidently intended. But by the time George was a teenager, he stood over six feet tall, and had a mind of his own, including within it second and third thoughts about the Christian faith, and his relationship to it. He stopped going to church, for the most part, but when circumstances required his attendance, as often they did, he refused to genuflect, or kneel, which, as you may know, is central to Episcopalianism and Catholicism. In those churches, one spends much time on one's knees, or is supposed to. But Georrge kneeled for no one, including God. Nor would he discuss his religion, which was "deism", a form of atheism, with anyone. Thus began, by the father of the United States, a long tradition of American cultural rebelliousness and arrogance. Seems like today we at times lean a bit heavily on the arrogance, and a bit lightly on the rebellion against authority. But that's another matter. Our modern American Christians are just as sure as they can be that they are right as rain, and that everyone else is wrong. Our modern Moslems are somewhat similar in this regard. Hence, much of our tragic global discord. Instead of "I embrace Christianity, but I respect your atheism", we get something darker, watered down, like, "I love the sinner, but I hate the sin". What rubbish! What phony, arrogant, condescending, patronizing trash! Damning with faint praise. C'Mon American Christiandom, humble thyself a bit!
