Little time for blogging or much else, lately, as your humble blogmaster has been blessed with an abundance of paying work and has been keeping his beard to the grindstone.
One line of thought has been bubbling on the back burner; TLBC is primarily about Western culture and how to save it... while having "a jolly time". Of late the following has been running through my brain;
1) It is impossible to maintain a healthy national life without a common culture.
2) It is impossible to maintain or develop a common culture without a common religion.
3) We decided - as a people, at the very inception of our republic - to have no common religion.
Discuss.
(In other words, we've been trying for centuries to cobble together a culture out of the tattered remnants of other cultures with no central organizing principle other than individual liberty. Can it be done? It doesn't appear so.)
