Independence Day

by Rick Beckman on July 5, 02005

Well, I made it through the fourth with­out a Chris­t­ian antipa­tri­o­tism rant. Per­haps later this week I’ll write some­thing up. I did have some­thing nearly ready to post, but it was too bit­ter for my tastes. Blind patri­o­tism really both­ers me, and I can­not find the rea­son­ing behind pledg­ing alle­giance to any­thing but the Lord. The lack of logic is not enough to keep the Pledge of Alle­giance to the United States out of churches, though.

If true Chris­tian­ity is ever banned in Amer­ica (and we’re mov­ing closer to that), all the Chris­tians who have pledged their alle­giance to this gov­ern­ment (which Scrip­ture says is ruled by Satan) will be forced to either reject Christ or break their bond. It is bet­ter to make no oath at all than to have to break it.

And yes, I said it, Amer­ica is Satanic. It can be noth­ing else. God never con­doned a gov­ern­ment of, by, and for the peo­ple. It was the peo­ple who demanded a king, and we’re still demand­ing who we want in charge to this day. Will we never learn? God has Him­self declared that while the Earth is His and the ful­ness thereof, the world sys­tems belong to the Adver­sary, Satan.

I pledge alle­giance to the Lord, not to a nation whose free­doms are entirely depen­dent on major­ity rule, not the unchang­ing absolute truth of the Holy Scriptures.

Okay, so, maybe I couldn’t wait for that rant. Fire­works are fun to watch, though, even if they were play­ing war­mon­ger­ing patri­otic county songs the whole time. :P
