Some friends stumbled across this particular interpretation of the Bible and I just couldn't let it pass. We Americans are that ego-centric to produce a Bible that explains how great our country is.
I certainly love my country and know I am privileged to be an American. But with privilege should come responsibility and to make the Bible completely about my country and how great my patriotism is--well, that doesn't match up with how I understand responsbility. I honestly don't think God cares that much about America in how we have constructed it as a nation state.
Here's a peek inside the Bible and I say "God Bless Amerika" with lots of patriotic love with perspective.
