American Idols: Pagan Christianity

What if American evangelicals really took human sinfulness, to include their own, seriously? What are the implications for attempts to create a "Christian" nation, "Christian" political and economic structures, and even a "Christian" family?Starting with a classical understanding of human sinfulness and examining the historical evolution of social, political and economic thought, Dr. Lamborn makes the bold and provocative assertion that it is impossible for sinners, redeemed or otherwise, to create social structures that are inherently godly or that merit divine approbation.Any attempt to make sacred or institutionalize as Christian a given political, economic or social structure creates earthly idols whose followers only use God as underwriter and supposed guarantor of their success. Christianity then becomes, at the functional level, a pagan religion that blinds adherents to the logs in their own eyes.
