Opinion | Is America Making God Angry?

Give me just your definition of Christian nationalism. Christian nationalism is the conviction that secularism is a failed experiment, that societies require a transcendent grounding in order to be able to function at all. And as a Christian, I believe that transcendent ground should be the living God and not an idol. That would be my short-form definition of Christian nationalism. Even shorter would be Christian nationalism is the conviction that we should stop making God angry. And so that’s the first purpose of your political project, for America to stop making God angry. Yes. And most people think that when they are confronted with that project that we have, is they think that we want to get our tentacles into everything and start controlling everything. I actually think we need limited government. The government should be significantly smaller than it is, and we need to curtail a lot of the busybodiness that we have. And so that’s why I would call myself a theocratic libertarian. There is a true libertarian element in this. And yet the transcendent grounding for what we’re talking about means that we acknowledge the authority of God, and we have racked up quite a body count of awful crimes. And I believe the only way out is for us to repent and turn to Christ. So, and repentance and turning to Christ would be things like no more Pride parades, no more drag queen story hours, no more abortion on demand, no more legalized same-sex unions. No, all of that, done. That’s the repentance part, OK. By law. Right. By law. By law.
