Ik ben het grotendeels eens met Psalm 125.1
Sterker nog, als er één ding is wat de EU niet is, dan is het wel christelijk volgens mij.
Enkele voorbeelden:
Neem het 'volkslied', Ode to Joy, hieronder de vertaling:
-----------------
Translation of 'Ode to Joy'
O friends, no more these sounds!Let us sing more cheerful songs,More full of joy!
Joy, bright spark of divinity,Daughter of Elysium, Fire-inspired we tread Thy sanctuary.Thy magic power re-unites All that custom has divided, All men become brothers, Under the sway of thy gentle wings.
Whoever has created An abiding friendship, Or has won A true and loving wife, All who can call at least one soul theirs, Join our song of praise; But those who cannot must creep tearfully Away from our circle.
All creatures drink of joy At natures breast. Just and unjust Alike taste of her gift; She gave us kisses and the fruit of the vine, A tried friend to the end. Even the worm can feel contentment, And the cherub stands before God!
Gladly, like the heavenly bodies Which He sent on their courses Through the splendor of the firmament; Thus, brothers, you should run your race, like a hero going to victory!
You millions, I embrace you. This kiss is for all the world! Brothers, above the starry canopy There must dwell a loving father.
Do you fall in worship, you millions? World, do you know your creator? Seek Him in the heavens; Above the stars must he dwell.

Verder is er niet echt sprake van democratie binnen de EU, voorbeeld is dat de grondwet ondanks afwijzing door de bevolking van twee lidstaten, er waarschijnlijk alsnog komt (plan B).
Verder zit er inderdaad heel veel Griekse Mythologie achter de EU. Check bijvoorbeeld onderstaande foto die afgelopen jaar heb gemaakt in Strassburg:
