"... it is not you (Samuel) they have rejected, but they have rejected Me (God) ..." 1 Samuel 8:7

Our newspaper, the Brainerd Dispatch, published the Herald's editorial, "Minnesota's Sunday liquor-sale vote inspires" (Page A4, Feb. 28), and it made this Christian gag.

I know by former President Obama's declaration that America is post Christian, but the Herald's editorial cinched it. All I could hear was humanism, not patriotism.

Psalm 8:5 says man was made a little lower that the angels. The editorial made man a little higher than God.

I don't know the age of the writer, but when that person wrote of God's "day of rest," the rant was like that of a teen-ager or younger.

I'm saddened by the Herald being "inspired" by selling booze on Sunday. But I have one consolation as a Christian: one day there will be a Court that won't accommodate public opinion, but will be conducted by righteousness-something the founders of Minnesota and America knew, but is so sorely missing today! Amen.
