“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
–2TIMOTHY 4:3
The world loves telling stories: wonderful, improbable stories.
This is fortuitous since modern man LOVES to hear a wonderful story, regardless of how improbable it may be.
MORE: Modern Man Loves a Good Story
ALL nations have their improbable stories to tell: how their people are morally more upright, better looking or cleaner-smelling.
How their people work harder, behave more honestly or are smarter than any other people who ever lived.
The United States of America is no different than any other country. It has its own wildly improbable, yet wonderful, stories which it never tires of telling both its own people and the rest of the world.
The USA tells stories of how its people are smarter and more clever than the rest of the world.
Yankee ingenuity!
American know-how!
The USA tells other stories of how its people work harder than any other people.
Americans work harder than any other country’s citizens: study
The American can-do spirit!
The US is the most overworked country in the world!
Such stories encourage Americans to believe that they “deserve” their untold wealth. Such stories also discourage any talk about how, after 1945, the world system was gamed to force the rest of the world to send their things of wealth to America in exchange for little green slips of paper.
Nobody ever gave me nothing!
I worked for it! I deserve it!
I’ve worked hard all of my life!
It does not matter how much evidence exists to the contrary.
It does not matter how little the stories reflect what the hearer KNOWS to be true.
The ONLY thing which matters is the telling of a wonderful story which the hearer WANTS to hear.
One of the biggest stories is the one told about “America is a good country, full of good people.”
Americans are the most generous people ever!
This last story also includes the one about “America is a Christian country.”
The United States of America is NOT now–nor has ever been–a Christian country.
But that fact DOES NOT stop modern man from wanting to hear another improbable story–this time, about how good and righteous he is.
A good, ear-tickling story.
Modern man has itching ears.
And nothing scratches that itch quite like the hearing of a wonderful, improbable story.
DOES the reader enjoy hearing stories about how lucky he was to have been born in the smartest, hardest-working, deserving country that ever has been?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
