God and Country

I read an interesting article in yesterday's Globe, God and Country by Charles Marsh, a professor of religion at the University of Virginia. He criticizes evangelicals mainly but also includes Christians of all flavors who mix up God and Country, for their uncritical support of Bush's policies especially concerning the war in Iraq.

Referring to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Marsh believes the American church has greatly compromised itself. He writes,

Like Bonhoeffer, I fear that the gospel has been humiliated in our time. But if this has happened, it is not because the message--the good news that God loves us unconditionally in Jesus Christ, that we are freed and forgiven in God's amazing grace--has changed...The gospel has been humiliated because too many American Christians have decided that there are m,ore important things to talk about. We would rather talk about our country, our values, our troops, and our way of life...

What do you think about what he says?
