Sometimes I get the feeling that security and protection are being turned into gods in the U.S.  More and more often it sounds like people are trying desperately to achieve total and perfect safety from any and every threat no matter what the cost.  I’m sure it’s not everyone, of course, and I won’t try and label anyone.  But I don’t think there is such a thing as total and perfect safety.  Ultimately it’s a myth, like the proverbial utopia.

Whether or not my feeling is right, it’s not good for us to strive for security above all else.  I don’t think it’s very Christian.  It’s not very American, either.
