The best power of the West was known to be rooted in Christian ideals. Jesus, the self sacrificing Hero, Savior, and remover of all sin, was the source of inspiration to sinful mortals. Christian chivalry got its very name from Jesus.
In the absence of this, “ugh, me Tarzan-hammed, you Jane, I behead” barges in and burgeons. Allah-akhbarbarians.
Socialism, Communism, Atheism have failed to provide guiding principles for civilization, and will ultimately fall to Islam. Law and governance based on classic Christian values are one of the few options left. Even scientific reason has little power against the muslim hordes poised to submerge western civilization.
The 509th Composite Group wasn't too shabby either.
Too many artistic renderings of Jesus, IMO, depict Him as pale, soft, and womanish. And many Christians (and anti-Christians) misread the “turn the other cheek” dictum to mean give in, don’t ever fight back.
The Christ in my mind’s eye is muscular, strong, and sunburnt. And His sacrifice for our sin was, of course, not as a white flag of surrender waved in defeat, but as a warrior against evil Who offered His Body and Blood literally to save our lives—for all eternity.
