Odds are you can't even make up a good lie about a time your nationalism conflicted with your faith, because American Evangelism is custom-made not to do so, and even those non-Evangelical churches have all but adopted its mantras (to keep up with the Joneses).

so, you're not asking about policy disputes, rather you're asking about the overall idea of forming a sovereign nation?!

how does the bible conflict with mankind forming sovereign nations?

This has to be the first time I've ever been accused of being a nationalist. LOL.

Please note I refuse to say the Pledge of Allegiance or salute the flag because I consider it a form of idoltary.

In 2003, one of the national councils of the United Methodist Church issued a statement condemning the launch of the War on Iraq as immoral and un-Christian.

Incidentally, George W. Bush is a Methodist Tongue

Well, since I am not "Evangelical"....

Not all Christians are jmfcst's.  Though I understand why you tportray us all as such, since it makes the concept of Christianity easier to attack.

I think the sin associated with visiting strip clubs is lust, not idolatry.

I don't ever salute the strippers. (OK maybe in a way, but certainly not a way comparable to anything involving the flag, if you get my drift.)
