Dennis, I spent 30 years as a Lutheran minister, the last 20 in a large suburban parish on the west side of Des Moines. I learned early on that most church folk are more interested in following Paul to the exclusion of following Jesus. Your observations are spot on. Jesus is still weeping over Jerusalem as he is repeatedly crucified by the religious folks in this country

If US founders wanted our country to be a "Christian nation", why didn't they put the cross on our flag???
