6 Questions for Christian Nationalists

1.) While, as a Christian Nationalist, I would not necessarily require an established church, I would require a religious establishment and the religion that must be established is the Christian religion.

2.) This means, following the original Article 36 of the Belgic Confession of faith, I would require the state’s coercive power in favor of the Christian religion.

3.) I would also remind De Young that all States use coercive power in favor of the State’s religion of choice. In the US today the state religion is humanism and the State uses its coercive power in favor of humanism. This is seen in decisions in favor of sodomite marriage, in favor pulling prayer from schools, in favor of abortion. De Young is kidding himself that the State (all states) ever does NOT act with coercive power in favor of its religion.

First, no one agrees on what Christian Nationalism is.”

Sex Questions For Christian Nationalists

This is a red herring. Consider that there is no consensus on what it means to be a “Christian.” Because there is no consensus on what Christian means does that mean that there is no such thing as Christianity?

Now, I agree that it would be helpful to have a stable definition of Christian Nationalism but anymore I would also agree it would be helpful to have a stable definition of Christianity. Hells bells … it would be helpful if could have a consensus on the question, “What is a woman.” For example, SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Jackson Brown during her nomination process could not give us an answer to the question; “What is a Woman?”

If people can’t agree on what a Woman is does that mean there’s no such thing as a woman?

De Young’s argument here amounts to; “Because so many people are wrong about what Christian Nationalism is, therefore nobody can be right about what Christian Nationalism is, therefore there is no such thing as Christian Nationalism.”
