Thank you for publishing my prayer request, and for your prayers as well. National politics has never been much fun for me, and now it\u2019s quite painful.<\/p>\n
I think what\u2019s frustrating for me is the avoidance of difficult but important historical details. Instead we have politicians adjusting the independence day to June 12, 1898 because centennial celebrations are Teh Cool. Apparently we\u2019re supposed to forget that, while the revolutionaries were imagining an independent government, the old and new foreign govenrments were haggling over the country\u2019s bargain price<\/a>. And of course, before gaining actual independence, we were colonized again in World War II.<\/p>\n
Thank you once again for your kindness and your prayers. I will praying for you and your country as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Thank you, dear.\u00a0 God bless your country.\u00a0 Cut her some slack for needing a Founding Myth.\u00a0 Nations are wont to do that, including the US, whose history is also messy (but more public due to her status as a superpower).\u00a0 Every nation has Founding Myths. And when they feel their oats as Great Powers, they tend to want \u00a0(if they have a Christian background) to identify themselves as Chosen by God. \u00a0England did it<\/p>\n
