That is one fabulous essay. I love it. Thanks for writing and posting it. (Tho' the mention of Augustine reminds me of Calvin and Calvinism which I judge to be very bad soteriology).
Beautiful. Well-written and true. A lot of conservatives talk about how the Left tells the truth about themselves in ways that are I guess sneaky or whatever you want to call it. But what do you suppose we should melake of them carrying around the Sign of the Covenant-the Rainbow? If it wasn't an entirely gracious covenant, I would say that they were binding their judgment more tightly to themselves, not sure if that is possible with the Noahic Covenant, it seems very much like provoking the Lord of the Covenant though, but will it provoke Him to Grace or Justice?
Check out the Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers TV series "The Power of Myth." Particularly, episode #2 "The Message of the Myth." What is God exactly? What are the Laws of Nature? What is the City of God? Cosmic Justice? Is society really in decline or being cleansed and renewed? I think everything will turn out for the best!
