Big news: unity expected and wanted

To really get a revival/revival in our country — in the Netherlands — something important is needed. To be precise, that is: unity.
In our country (actually for many centuries), there has been a culture of its own right. Once upon a time, the Netherlands was a so-called Christian nation. But there is also always the pride of being equal to God. I mean we rule the water and have gained a lot of ground on the sea. You might even say that the Dutch have created a kind of new tower in Babel. It is sometimes said: God created the Earth, but man created the Netherlands.
In the Netherlands — and I consciously say this in view of our fellow Flemish citizens — God is no longer consistently placed on a pedestal. Far from that, in fact. There are plenty of discussions about whether or not God exists and about the origin of the Bible.
