Re: 6 Years Later Iraq Better but Still Shaky
I like his answer because the god card wasn't played to support American existentialism. Exceptionalism is a human nature and it's a defensive mechanism. I am reminded by something Dr. James Cone said regarding religion which I find profound and relevant to the belief in the exceptionalism of ones nation (you can easily replace religion with exceptionalisim and god with country):
Quote:
[R]eligion has been that one place where you have an imagination that no one can control. And so, as long as you know that you are a human being and nobody can take that away from you, then God is that reality in your life that enables you to know that.
