One the way home, I saw one of those cutsies on a sign. It said words to the effect of:
"This country has fallen away from the faith of it's founders. How is that working out for you?"
I thought, someone thinks they are so clever with that one. Then I thought about the contrast between
conditions in the time of the founders, i.e.
- Slavery is A-OK
- Women are second class people
- Religion is used to persecute and kill others
- Death and disease abound.
- I'm sure you can think of some more
Compare that to today. Sounds like things are not so bad after all.
Ironically, this was not a church sign, but a sign at a car wash.
