Daily Blasphemy: America is a “christian nation”? My goddamned ass, it is. You’ll agree, the litmus test for being a christian nation is whether it actually follows Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them…and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” And, happily, America misses that mark by a red-state country mile. The first part of this litmus test is whether you find christ anywhere in the U.S. Constitution. Nope, no christ there. Only a meaty separation of church and state. But surely if America had a second shot at writing a constitution, they’d put the Almighty in that one, right? Especially if it was written for a for another country, a la Matthew 28:19? But check the Japanese Constitution, written by McArthur’s staff after WWII, for that ever-elusive savior. No sign of Jeebus there, either. Just a bunch freedom from religion stuff…from folks who saw the clear link between Shinto piety and military genocide. But if we had a third shot at writing someone’s constitution, I dunno, say Iraq’s? Surely, we’d throw a bone to that sorry Son of a Bitch, inflicting the boring-assed gospel on the muslim world? Nope. Turns out even the U.S. military--under George W. Bush no less--drops jesus like a hot rock when it comes to good government. It’s almost like the U.S. military knows something that christian America doesn’t: that christ is worthless where actual problem-solving is required….
