We have to step back and ask what we Christians have done that we find ourselves so implicated in the world that we cannot differentiate our response as God’s people from the American people’s response.

That's simple. Do what god would do. And act how god says to act. And since such acts would be different than how everyone else acts, it would be clear to everyone else that you are god's people (as opposed to everyone else).

It presumes people have access to god and can receive his answer. But if that were true, all the faiths and claims of "personal relationships" with god, would have that answer directly.

But even the "indirect" sources (books, priests, etc..) give unsatisfactory answers. One holy preacher teaches hate the gay. The other holy teacher says kill the infidel. Each claim the message is from god.

The fact that such a question is asked, however, leads to an inevitable conclusion about the answers we supposedly get from god.
