The Christian Betrayal of the United States
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Non-Christians, so the theory goes in Christian circles, are destroying the United States. Wherever Christians gather, we discuss what "they" are doing to "us." Non-Christians are taxing us into the Stone Age, killing unborn children, pushing the homosexual agenda, and in countless ways refusing to acknowledge and obey God. They are bringing disaster on the United States.
There is a glimmer of truth to this theory, which makes it, for Christians, a plausible and acceptable explanation for what is happening to our country. Many non-Christians want extremely high taxes, they want to kill unborn children and indeed do so in large numbers, they do support the homosexual agenda, and they do refuse to acknowledge and obey God, in every area of life.
But there is a group of people who are infinitely more to blame for the problems of the United States. Islamic terrorists? No. No, the group most to blame for the problems of the United State is: American Christians.
It is the thesis of this book that American Christians have betrayed the United States, and have brought disaster on our country. The more honest and useful discussion would not be about what "they" are doing to "us," but rather would be about what "we Christians" are doing to "them."

About the Book
The Christian Betrayal of the United States theorizes that 100% of the problems of the United States have their root in the conservative, Bible-believing Christian church of this country.
Countless books by liberal Christians or by non-Christians, have accused the "Christian right" of being a dangerous segment of our country. Following the principles of the Christian right will lead to tyranny, so the theory goes.
The Christian Betrayal of the United States takes a very different tack. According to the author, the Bible-believing Christians have betrayed their country already--by their actions in many distinct arenas of life. Those who have cursed the Bible-believing Christians as being too Christian, have got it exactly backward. They may curse Christians again, when they understand that Christians were not Christian enough.
The author, far from being a liberal Christian or a humanist, is a self-professed conservative, Bible-believing Christian. He strives to show how his own people have betrayed their nation.
It is a dark story. On the brighter side, the author also tries to grope toward a solution of the problems he and his people have caused.
