day no. 17,130: Christian Nationalism is religion and politics in perfect harmony

“I have hazarded the guess that you are not even close to being tired of dealing with the subject of Christian nationalism . . . well, neither am I. The two traditional topics that will get you shushed big time at large family gatherings at Thanksgiving—religion and politics—are very conveniently combined in this discussion, and bundled into just one topic. A model of efficiency.” — Douglas Wilson, Larry Arnn and the Hillsdale Half Step 

Would you like to live in a Christian nation or a nation that produces the kind of people who applaud the assassination of a Christian speaker in broad daylight? I would like to live in a nation where that question is obviously rhetorical. That is not the nation we live in, however. Some people not only need to be asked, but some people actually answer the inquiry by selecting the second option. They are, after all, the ones thanking the void that Charlie Kirk has left the chat. The only way to have a nation where people don't parade their perversions in public is for that nation to return to Christ. The same can be said for a family. The only way to be able to talk about these kinds of things without wanting to kill each other is to be part of a family where Christ is acknowledged as slain for our sins and raised from the dead.

“I never discuss anything else except politics and religion. There is nothing else to discuss.” ― G.K. Chesterton

Christian nationalism is the combination of religion and politics. Discussing either one can make most people uncomfortable so it is not surprising that talking about something that necessarily combines the two makes everyone uncomfortable. That is why many left-leaning, Gospel Coalition friendly Christians do not like Christian Nationalism. It is too political. That is why right-leaning, Fox News friendly conservatives do not like Christian Nationalism. It is too religious.
