The other part that is often missed is that this is largely Orthodox Christian in origin.
Protestanism has failed. Catholicism is failing before our very eyes. Both are considered heresies from the Ortho perspective, and this 1000-year argument is now at the "I told you so" stage.
Orthodoxy is based in Byzantium Empire, & since it's fall, has thrived on a decentralized model of church nationalism - Greek, Russian, Syriac etc.. that shares power with the state.
Not a theocracy.
@philosophy For me Christianity comes downstream of a western population center. Biggest thing is actually granting men authority over their families as God intended. As a Christian it can be done, but the moon logic always seems to be:
1. Implement Christianity..
2. Ban Things...
3. Suddenly a Christian Nation(???)
Many forget the step of actually rearing women, men planting themselves as the pillar leader of the social base unit in the family. That is always forgotten imo.
As the 20th century experiments in communism and the current day West clearly demonstrates, moral frameworks cannot be derived from secularism.
That’s different than forcing belief or church attendance which is absurd.
The biggest single indictment of this is the fact that under secular morality, literally no Western society is able to reproduce itself.
You're arguing against straw men claims that CN's never make.
Christian nationalism is not a theocracy, nor does it advocate for one. It advocates for basing law on a Christian moral framework because laws are simply moral "ought" claims, not just "I want because .. feels".
We supposedly already have that, since the legal system is based on the Byzantine Justinian Code, but that's being dismantled at record pace as you're seeing in real time.
Merry Christmas dude, never change you degenerate milker-lover!
This is a metaphor for the real economy.
