"Pass It On"

Everyday, my e-mail contains well meaning letters or sayings or would be insights that someone deems thought provoking and worthy of sharing. The awkward part of this is, at the bottom of the e-mail, there is always some compelling statement urging the recipient to pass it along to everyone they know that has a computer. The statement always has a certain element, I now call e-guilt and e-thority, such as: If you care, send this to . . . If you truly believe whatever, you will stand up and be counted. . . If you love Jesus, send this to 10 others and the one that sent this to you, and if not, just delete this message. Now, I love the Messiah, I call Him Y'shuah, but I am not going to be e-pressured to promote a ton of political/religious propaganda in the bulk of the message. The reason I am on this particular subject is the "One nation under G~d" in all of our national symbols, concern. First, it was not in the flag salute until 1954. Second, how blurred is the line between a national symbol and an idol? And third, our nation, by definition and by declaration, is not a G~dly nation. And I am not talking about our eroded morality, although that is an indication of a nation that isn't paying a bit of attention to G~d.
But when we say G~dly nation and Bible principles, that just doesn't line up with freedom to worship. I don't think anyone can site one Scripture reference in which a nation could call themselves G~dly and do things the way they wanted. G~d not only gave His people instructions as to how to live and what to eat, He told them how to worship and where. Now, He did give people the freedom to not worship Him. Freedom to worship or not is the choice that is both national and Scriptural. But that can only be the choice of an individual in a nation that guarantees freedom of worship. So maybe if the individuals felt strongly enough about this to actually live their faith, in their individual lives, it wouldn't take a national referendum or Supreme Court ruling. Rather than legislation about being called a G~dly nation, perhaps the most effective solution would be for individuals to be G~dly people.
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all His commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
