[QUOTE="straykat, post: 74526144, member: 408922"] I'm not necessarily against globalism or see an inherent evil to it. The Church itself was mobilized through a global culture - with Christ at the center of that culture. First paved by the roads and lingua franca of the day from Alexander/Hellenism, and continued through the Roman Empire. But God subverted the groundwork laid by these empires for his own purpose. This all became the new territory for the Gospel to spread. And for centuries afterwards, all Christians of every locale would signify themselves as "catholic" (not Roman Catholic) - that is, a universal body of believers confessing the same councils and creeds, having a common purpose and culture through the Church. When that is in place, globalism can be a great power for good. What's evil about the current climate is modern globalism is trying to dilute people through consumerism, Hollywood, and the tyranny of usury and central banks. Like a Bizarro version of the Christian Global Culture, if you will. Secondly, Britain is only in the right as long as she abides in Christ and adopts a Christian culture. She could do that in a global fashion or a more insular one. What matters is Christ. And I'm not even sure Britain was ever strongly "nationalist" to begin with anyways. The Celts were once a larger segment of the population, and got wiped out by the Norse/Anglo-Saxon era. So who is the actual Brit in this sad picture? I believe Cornwall is the only remaining area with ancient Breton/Celt ties? Not to mention that the UK eventually became an empire encompassing vast parts of the planet up until recently. Indians, Chinese, Canadians, Australians, Americans all sort of have a history tied to Britain, in this sense. [/QUOTE]
