I should note that there is nothing inherently wrong, or even religiously wrong, with seeking a better life. Not for one’s family nor even for oneself. No, the problem here is the selfishness. When they say “better world,” they mean “better life,” and they mean it only for their own demographic. That may sound harsh, but the evidence is overwhelming. The new and often stated objective of the political evangelical movement is prosperity for that movement in particular, for renewal in their towns in particular. For their “kind.”
