Is there a relationship between the rise of education among the population and lack of faith in Christianity and /or religion in general. I can not see the wind but I know it is there. This is applicable to the state and to GOD. I can not see, touch, taste, smell, hear a state but the media portrays the United States like a person. Does the United States submit to the will of God? It is printed on the back of a dollar bill IN GOD WE TRUST?
I will say a state is a levithian. God plays with levithans. Since, the United States does exist it is the will of GOD; Providence. I use the term levithan from Thomas Hobbes describing the state under a monarchy. However, the United States is on a planet with other states. Are they all willed by GOD?
Mary Rowlandson wondered how GOD can shine on the Native Americans and allowed her to be captured by savages. Another JOB ordeal, how does bad things happen to Good people or good things happen for bad people.
I like to think Christianity ushered in a form of government that was not on a planet before, one of equality, the kingdom of heaven. At the time Christ spoke there was no such thing as democracy. We still do not have true democracy, we have representative democracy. Representative democracy is based on an unequal system of slavery and a concept that the masses are ignorant. Thus we have Thomas Jefferson that promoted educating the people to have a good democracy. Do we want true democracy or do we want a state that is a money making empire? (insert real politics here) It is difficult to harvest the seeds of freedom in a state where you are surronded by different ideas of freedom. Thus we have the Law. Which Law is superior the Laws of GOD or the Laws of Humanity.
How do I know what you say is from GOD or just a figment of your own thought? We must use reason to come to an agreement.
