Are you worshiping Founding Fathers or Heavenly Father?

When browsing through my newsfeeds on Facebook, sometimes I come across some political meme or status. Some or them are rather funny, but many are quite filled with madness.

They are mainly against current administration. Increasing debt and deficit, gun control, overreaching federal government, Obamacares... They can go on and on.

Then, when I see the type of ads or status that says something like "Founding Father didn't intend this country to be ...," while putting very "Christian" status like scripture, it makes me think, especially if those are shared by a Christian.

I do know that they are proud of this country and they firmly believe in the Christian doctrine. But, these ads make me wonder "Are you worshiping Founding Father, instead of One True God?"

Obviously, Founding Fathers played important role in forming the idea of what this country is and where it goes. I understand they made Constitution and Bill of Rights to keep the government from overreaching to individual rights.

"Our Founding Fathers didn't intend that this country make everyone to have insurance"
"Our Founding Fathers didn't like this country to go into debts"

It looks like, they are serving Founding Fathers more than the Heavenly Father. Of course they are great contributors for American history and principles. We should not forget what they have done and dreamed. But, what does it do to worship them?

Time changes. There are so many problems. Poverty, child hunger, crime, unemployment. These are not something they intended this country to have. But rather these are due to many changes like urbanization, change of economy structure, auto-mobilization.

Take the last one for example. If you advocate freedom and equality as in the Constitution, shouldn't you also support individual's right to be able to go to places like workplaces or shops? Towns and cities might not be big enough to need a car back in late 18th century, but now it is. Unemployment may be high because some people cannot afford a car and driving is the only way to get around. If that's the case, the government should step in to promote their right to work by installing adequate transit system or providing a solution.

We should think first will of our God, who says "Blessed are the merciful."
