This is too much

I have poked fun at stuff like this before but this crosses a line from silliness to blasphemy. I got an email this morning from Christianbook.com adverting the NKJV "Patriot's Bible". I get those all the time but today there was something different about the ad. Here is a screenshot of it, tell me if you notice a problem here....

Sometimes history repeats itself? With a picture of the the Lord Jesus Christ and His apostles at the Last Supper where He washed their feet, instituted the Lord's Supper and shared His last evening before the cross with those He loved on one side and the men who led the American revolution and formation of the U.S. government on the other? How in the world is an organization that caters to Christians making that connection? Even worse, how many Christians would see no problem with this ad drawing a comparison between the Last Supper and the founding of America?

What does this say to our fellow Christians around the world, given that the overwhelming majority of Christians are not American citizens? Yeah you are a Christian but too bad for you that you don't live in America where God really loves His people?

Just so we are clear. The founding of America, for good or ill, was not any more or less an act of God than the founding of Tanzania or Switzerland. The men we call the Founding Fathers are not in any way, shape or form comparable to the Apostles of Jesus Christ, no more so than the founding fathers of Bolivia or Canada. When Christians in America buy into this sort of foolishness it drives a wedge between us and the global church and it hampers our witness to the world by giving the impression that we are peddling American virtues every bit as much as we are preaching Christ and Him crucified,

The sooner the cultural Christendom that dominates the church in America collapses and this sort of foolishness ends, the better.
