Oliver Thomas in his USA Today article, Ungodly Hubris, examines how faith driven Americans are not living up to their God’s expectations. He cites our greed, our disproportionate consumption of the world’s resources, our violence in the way we kill each other, and our treatment of our more vulnerable citizens, as examples that are not consistent with the teachings of our respective faiths.

 

“The faith community has our work cut out for us if America is to become the "city upon a hill" envisioned by some of our greatest leaders. And if self-awareness is the beginning of wisdom, perhaps we should start by reading the Bible with different eyes. Let's lose the hubris. Maybe we're not ancient Israel. Maybe we're Rome.”


Americans of faith should read the article and reflect upon it.
