Patriotism

— self-examination losing out to self-infatuation?

“Patriotism is the go-to religion of those who would worship a super-sized version of themselves and seldom quibble to persecute non-believers, foreigners and conscientious objectors. It is a grandiose fancy, a self-flattering cult of true believers who require a solemn faith gutted of self-examination, confession of sin, repentance, humility, prudence, peace-making, love of others, a global Savior, God-centered sobriety and a host of other inconvenient tenets festering in the bosom of orthodox Christianity and other meddlesome voices that have long plagued the world with their tiresome, effeminate scruples.”
