The Christian Planet

The search for a path through life

Not a technology.

Yesterday (June 18), while discussing politics (what else, of course?) a very close friend of mine mentioned that many Americans on the right are saying that we are in a “Christian country.”

As it happens, we are on a Christian planet. I don't expect most people to understand what I mean when I say that; rest assured that I probably don't mean what you think I do. This particular question manifest on a cosmological scale and cannot be appreciated without a living contact to it, at which point one realizes we know pretty much nothing whatsoever.

Yes, we are on a Christian planet.

It’s in the flesh, the blood, the bones, and the marrow of the planet itself.

Yet that does not give us the right to impose Christianity on others.
