Are we a Christian nation? Saying so doesn't make it so. The only standard we can measure it by is how closely we adhere to Christ's teachings.
Do we turn the other cheek, or do we fabricate a war?
Do we let them have our cloak also, or do we exploit weaker nations for money?
Do we love our neighbors, or do we try to send them back across the border?
Mahatma Gandhi loved the teachings of Jesus and extolled them regularly. When asked why he wasn't a Christian he replied, "If Christians acted more like Jesus, then I would be one."
A nation of people who profess Christianity but don't live it does not a Christian nation make.
