In the Country that Used to Be England… April 13, 2012

…a watery post-Christian secularism that is deeply indebted to Christian teachings about humility and warnings against judgmentalism from Jesus (which anti-Christian UK culture has used to great effect in beating down Christians who rightly fear the sin of pride) is suddenly confronted with–and utterly flummoxed by–an inflamed and diseased Radical Islamic tradition that completely lacks anything in its theological and cultural DNA corresponding to these warnings from Jesus. A fascinating spectacle of helpless confusion faced with icy pride results.

It will be interesting to see if folks like poor woman in the video learn to reclaim a healthy spirituality which alone can cope with this evil, or if they just fall back on empty nostrums described by Manning’s Corollary and brainlessly conclude that if you’ve seen only Abrahamic religion, you’ve seen ’em all.
