Bible Note: Greetings Alienresident! You wrote: "I promote good citizenry, not patriatism." How does one practice good citizenry if one does not exercise one's rights and fulfill one's obligations as a citizen? If, by my failing to vote, someone obtains an office and uses it for evil, am I not partially responsible for that evil? While I certainly agree with you that we can only have one Master, we must also be good citizens - and that requires that we be active in our governmental processes.
