Episode 36 - Is Patriotism a sin? Stephen Backhouse

Is having a flag in your church wrong? What about church remembrance services for military causes? Is all patriotism bad? Stephen Backhouse of Tent Theology thinks that patriotism is incompatible with following Jesus. He makes a very strong case. Listen to this episode to find out how the Early Church dealt with babies being killed and how Jesus didn't take on the perpetrators of racial insults. There's something for everyone to get annoyed at in this episode. It's one of our best. Thanks so much to Stephen Backhouse (aka Jim Mulligan / Eddie Van Halen) for bringing the good word.

He also changed water into wine. Nice.
