History bears that out, does it? Love to hear your answer to that one. The other day, I heard Chuck Colson say, "Culture is merely theology incarnate." While I might want to caution Mr. Colson about the danger of "immanentizing the eschaton", I think his statement is fundamentally sound. The question then becomes whose theology is to be incarnated. I for one think the incarnation of Christian theology has proved superior to all others. When you get the blending of nationalism and Christianity you always get crap stuff Like “Gott Mitt Uns”.

Christ isn't a nationalist. He definitely isn't a commie either, but he isn't a nationalist. When you get the blending of nationalism and Christianity you always get crap stuff Like "Gott Mitt Uns".

Great to read your articles again. Are you planning to respond to John Laughland's article in the Brussels Journal? I have enjoyed following the debate so far.
