The Bible acknowledges the nation-state but does not idealise it neither supports "kingdoms of this world" (like it's done in the blog post). Was the Apostle Paul an Israelite or a Roman citizen or both? Why should a UK citizen not equally be considered an EU "citizen"? On administrative & economic efficiency: EU policies, for example, help reduce the a "reinvention of the wheel" in nationalistic agendas. On the Euro: Ten years after its introduction, whose citizens have lost in purchasing power, those of the Euro-countries or those of the UK? On referenda: How valuable are they if majority votes decide on human rights issues(e.g. recent Swiss referendum). ]]></description><guid>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/comments/247/implications_of_the_lisbon_treaty#comment1305</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:53:41 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Carol]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/comments/247/implications_of_the_lisbon_treaty#comment1279</link><description><![CDATA[Is the logic of your position on nationhood that the UK should be split up?]]></description><guid>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/comments/247/implications_of_the_lisbon_treaty#comment1279</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:43:27 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gerv]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/comments/247/implications_of_the_lisbon_treaty#comment1277</link><description><![CDATA[solif: you are begging the question. Is the Bible nationalistic (i.e. does it support the idea of nation-states)? If so, then to hold that view is not to be \"parochial\" but to be Biblical. 

Also, you say \"camouflaged with Bible citations\". Perhaps you could explain where and how the author has taken the Bible out of context?]]></description><guid>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/comments/247/implications_of_the_lisbon_treaty#comment1277</guid><pubDate>Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:12:53 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peter Morgan]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/comments/247/implications_of_the_lisbon_treaty#comment1276</link><description><![CDATA[State of the nation? From bad to worse, of course. And the UK is so small (economy, military, population) compared to the total of Europe (about 10 -15% ?).]]></description><guid>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/comments/247/implications_of_the_lisbon_treaty#comment1276</guid><pubDate>Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:48:26 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Solif]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/comments/247/implications_of_the_lisbon_treaty#comment1273</link><description><![CDATA[A parochial (nationalistic) view camouflaged with Bible citations.]]></description><guid>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/comments/247/implications_of_the_lisbon_treaty#comment1273</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:04:18 GMT</pubDate></item><atom:link href="http://www.jubilee-centre.org/comments.xml.php" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" /></channel></rss>
