Rose Above It All

You bristle at the designation of a “Christian” nation.

Well I am on the fence.

I wouldn’t want a religion imposed on anyone,

But why not consider refocusing our efforts

To feeding the hungry,

To housing the homeless,

To taking care of the sick,

And caring about the imprisoned?

And, you know,

considering giving all we have to the poor?

Do it.

Do it in the name of Christ,

or

Do it for the love of country,

Or

Do it for the love of your own precious humanity

and

Those whom you love,

and

Why not love everybody?

A Christian Nation.

If only the name was as sweet as its namesake,

If so, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
