Who said agape love was normative? I would consider agape to be unnormative.
The love of people in community is phileo love, and that is where our
"Nationalism" such as it is, comes from. "Scr*w Iraq, let's fight them
m*****-f*****'s for our oil."
I have one other thing to say. The United States wasn't, is not now, and never
will be a Christian nation; a religious nation, perhaps. The term Christian
Nation is an oxymoron, and Jesus had the sharpest rebuke to those who said G-d
was on this or that side.
