"All Christians are dual citizens, requiring us to choose which kingdom we'll ultimately prioritize. Sometimes we must lay down a flag in order to carry a cross.

"For the early church, sometimes being a good Christian meant being a bad Roman. So before accusing someone of being unpatriotic, ask which empire they're serving."

-- Stephen Mattson, "When Patriotism Becomes Idolatry", 2018-01-23

I believe that nationalism is the real religion of this era. That is, each person is expected to treat their country/government as a God, not that nationalism as a theory is the religion, though there are some elements of assuming that the whole world is organized into nations, or should be.
