The God of Christianity is not a tribal deity. To connect him as having special status to any earthly nation is to reduce the God of the Universe to the tribal equivalent of Baal or Chemosh.

Nihilism: a viewpoint that traditional values and beliefs are unfounded and that existence is senseless and useless (Merriam-Webster).
I am not a nihilist, though those who know me know I am attracted to nihilistic humor. I believe that the universe points to toward a Creator, and because I cannot explain the existence of Christianity apart from the bodily resurrection of Jesus, I believe the empty tomb points toward a universe with purpose-- a divinely given purpose in the new creation God has initiated in the risen Christ.
