A new book suggests that Christian Nationalism is bringing their “good news” to Canada!<\/p>\n

O Canada… my condolences.<\/p>\n

According to one reporter north of our border<\/a>, the timing of [Marci McDonald’s] potentially bound-to-be-explosive book, The Armageddon Factor: the Rise of Christian Nationalism in Canada<\/em>, which hits bookstore today, might be is, if not sublime, downright divine.<\/em><\/p>\n

And it seems that Canadians are interested in what author Marci McDonald has to say, too! Currently the title sits at #4 on Amazon Canada’s best-seller list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Well, Canada, since you’re not familiar with how inanimate objects like ideas and government and Sarah Palin become Christianized, here are a few possible signs that you might see…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Look for the words “Put Prayer in Parliament!” to appear on signs, billboards, and bumper stickers. And the occasional sled. It’s a catchy slogan. And Christians love the letter “P.”<\/li>\n
  2. Whatever your word is for “Liberty,” look for a college of the same name located about 150 kilometers from Ottawa. THAT college is a training ground for would-be faith-based nationalists. And their hockey team probably sucks.<\/li>\n
  3. A medium-sized city, probably in some place like Saskatchewan, <\/em>will grow into the Canadian Mecca for all-things moral, family, and Christian. Keep an eye out for church-going “psychologists,” especially the ones who have radio shows. Wait. Does Saskatchewan have radio stations?<\/li>\n
  4. Outspoken Christian hockey players will begin thanking Jesus for directing their pucks.<\/li>\n
  5. If the current leader of the Yukon territory is female, hot, and “just like you,” run!<\/li>\n
  6. If Canada has any well-know evangelical Christians, look for them to begin chillin’ with well-known Mormons.<\/li>\n
  7. If you don’t have a “Stephen Baldwin” in Canada, don’t worry, you can have ours.<\/li>\n
  8. I suspect that Christian nationalists will also want to turn you into a English-only society! For starters, Christians hate France, but too, bi-lingual messaging is difficult. And duh, when read in French, the book of Psalms sounds gay!<\/li>\n
  9. No matter what Israel does, you will love her! YOU MUST LOVE HER. No. LOVE. HER.\u00a0 Shalom.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
