		<description>Good stuff, especially the list of questions. Too many have forgotten that Christians are to be citizens of Heaven first; what nation we&#039;re born in here on earth is secondary. American Christianity&#039;s misguided sense of patriotism is usually why Americans are angered when they learn I plan to seek dual citizenship to keep serving in missions in Western Europe.  Even when I explain I&#039;m not giving my American citizenship up (though I would if God truly required it of me), they act as if I&#039;m being anti-Christian and unpatriotic.</description>

		<description>thank you! 

it is time that people put aside this delusion that we could somehow vote or boycott our way back to a &quot;christian america&quot;. it has made me sick since i was in high school (the end of the nineties). we must &quot;take up our cross (not flags) daily and follow Him&quot;. our churches (not all) are filled with patriotic, social club elitists that for some reason have been able to read the bible for years and still trade what it says for a stronger sense of americanism. i respect my country but i have an allegiance to Christ alone.

i appreciate your willingness to take on a controversial topic that, as the above comment reflects, often gets the firing squad lined up.</description>
