In a nation that officially follows the teachings of Jesus, Corey wrote, people would pay taxes without complaining, the pledge of allegiance would be banned, health care would be free for all, and eliminating poverty would be a top priority.
In his article, originally published online by Patheos.com, here’s some of Corey’s observations about a Christian nation:
“Some claim we were one, some claim we are
one, and some say we need to become one.
“… Because truth be told, if America actually were to
become a Christian nation, I don’t think the people who advocated for it would
be too happy with the end product. Since Christian is supposed to mean
“little Christ” or “Christ follower,” we actually have a way to offer some
clear cut examples of what a Christian nation would look like – because all we
have to do is look at what Jesus taught, and how Jesus lived, as a model to
pattern national behavior."So, what if we became a Christian nation? Well, a few things would have to change… drastically:
We’d Have To Abolish the 2nd Amendment
"The 2nd Amendment is so beloved by American Christians
that this alone would likely be the sticking point preventing us from ever
becoming a Christian nation. Jesus taught his disciples that they were to never
use violence to respond to evil (Matthew 5:39) and that they were to actively
love their enemies. He also lived a life of nonviolent enemy love as a model
for us to follow– and living our lives patterned after how he lived his is the
ultimate proof that we belong to God (John 2:6). A Christian nation would have
no room for the 2nd Amendment.”
