I haven't seen Christians worshipping or idolizing the rich. In my circles it is almost the opposite. What I see, all too often, is Christians talking about politicians like they are saviors and treating the American flag like an idol and destroying anyone who doesn't treat their idol with proper respect. I like our flag, but I don't pledge allegiance to it (my allegiance is to God alone) and I treat it with general respect, but don't have a fit if someone else doesn't. I think one politician is significantly better than another, but even the best, someone like Ron Paul, still has his faults and is unable to fix the mess we are in.

Politicians should not be treated like gods or saviors and the flag should not be treated like an idol.
