Poem
Paul Tillich wrote "nationalism hates and must always hate Judaism and prophetic Christianity." When he spoke of nationalistic patriotism he was thinking of fascism, as the logical conclusion of those more loyal to a specific supremacist space and time than faithful to our more inclusively holonic creolization history of a bicamerally regenerative species. Nationalism too quickly devolves into idolatry of WinLose zero-sum gamesmanship, elitist triumphalism as narrow-minded Chosen People rather than WinWin nonzero-sum co-redemptive economists of mutual messiahship. Tillich's 'prophetic' Judeo-Christian would find U.S. nationalistic 'evangelical' Christians unredemptively anti-prophetic; merely fundamentalist EitherWinOrLose puppets of rabid capitalism and, in more viral triumphalistic cultish forms, also explicitly anti-Semitic and anti-all-other-religions and anti-historical-cultural evolution of traditional norms and values, so anti-anything other than missionary position heterosexual expression. Rabid 'evangelistic' Christianity is anything but co-redemptively prophetic. A messianic Christian evangelist spreads WinWin good gospel news through cooperative teaching and listening and collaborative mentoring about how we can grow this regenerative species toward mutual transubstantiating holiness which seems to have to do with transliterative enculturation skills and nothing at all to do with lip service to an "Our Shit Don't Stink" triumphalistic creed. When non-prophetic 'evangelical' Christians examined Donald Trump's intentions as U.S. Presidential potential, and declared his intentions for the patriotic elite as "pure," that meant purely capitalist WinLose nationalism; saying nothing about the prophetic Judaism of the all-inclusive loving Gospels. Christians, Jews, and perhaps especially Islamic-terrified, must comprehend and resist and declaim any notion that Republican Nationalist WeWin-SoYouLose ecopolitics is anything less than anti-Messianic WeWin-OnlyIf YouAlsoWin, which is co-redemptive, global, ecologically healthy, ecopolitics. The democratization of globalizing love is a huge history of spiritual experience, communication for regeneration, regeneration for ecological reconnecting, again and again and again Earth's health with anthrocentric 'pure' and 'loyal' wealth. To call the cult of fundamentalist WinLose nationalistic patriotism "evangelistic Christianity" is idolatrous elitism taking out a promising contract against healthy human nature to hit absolute zero bulls-eye bottom-line LoseLose absence of syncretic supremacy, promise to anti-prophetically gloat about absent-mindedly fiddling while Earth burns; declaring our vast anti-all-others absence of hope for continuing climates of regenerative health in the face of degenerating climate pathologies. If you are familiar with the Wharton School, as is Donald Trump and his considerable too-glutonous billionaire CEO companions, then you would probably know you can slap a lipstick index on a chauvinistic pig of an elitist Winner-Take-All national economy, but it will not really look, or work, any better, and certainly won't taste any healthier or purer or more loyal, or even tangentially patriotic, in historic prophetic hindsight.
