France Is Just Like Europe: It Has No Future

“If there is any hope for a revival of French culture it will only come through total French humiliation and despair. Once a majority of Frenchmen no longer see any reason to support the status quo, to remain loyal to their betters, then things change and change rapidly. It will not happen through elections and political activism. Democracy is good at driving a country off a cliff. It is useless in pulling it back onto the road. France needs to vote itself off the cliff in order to clear the field for what comes next.”
I disagree, and vehemently so. This analysis is dead wrong. France has no future now for the same reason France had no future before this election cycle. France lost its soul long ago. They exchanged the “grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” for the existentialist philosophy of Sartre And Camus. The Frenchman hates himself because he hates God.
No man or woman, politician or not, can fill that void. And no constitution, political philosophy or war can save a country. No man can replace God. And France is the canary in the mine for all of Europe, including Britain. I recall the experience some good friends had when they visited Britain recently, and took the C.S. Lewis tour. The sad part is that the tour guide said that he only tours Americans now. No one in Britain cares any more or even knows who C.S. Lewis was.
No they don’t. All of Europe is lost.
