Stunned

I'm certainly no great scholar of the Bible, but as I read comments on the web on various stories, I'm continually stunned by the ignorance of the basics of the Bible and Christianity in this United States of America.

I would not expect non-Western nations to have basic Bible knowledge, but when Westerners don't know the basics, I'm just stunned to realize how far our country has drifted from its more Biblical roots, just in the past half century or so.

This spurs in me the desire to teach basic Bible literacy to this nation. I believe our country would be better off with that kind of education.
