The widest geography and Extent of the Sacred Home?

I think that since the key people of the Protestant Reformation shunned the top-down extravagance of the Romanesque Church, religion has focused on the Home as the centerpiece of the entire Religious dogma.

We note that Luther, an ex-Monk married a Nun. We can note Calvin took an even stronger stance against Church celibacy practice. Then, the highest holy position of womanly attainment is the home for 400 years.
We can discuss a lot of what they call "Victorian Home Sweet Home", though that's a popular culture category.

I think during the time of the still outwardly Religious realm of Politics, the First US Anthem of "Hail Columbia" would praise this instead of a King, extended lyrics. I think this Religious state of affairs stayed in prominence some time after the Civil War, and is still not directly related to the 60's feminism effort. Its visible In Princetons "under God's Power she Flourishes".

Anyone else done a serious analysis of Bioshock Infinite for Religious meaning, or , Confederate Victory scenarios? The humor is rather well researched seems like! A prophet "Comstock" led a cloud island into "secession from the union" and he calls his cloud-island "Columbia" , with various humor.

Jesus in me

I believe as Baptists do that the body of the believer is the temple of God and it goes where we go. That is the centerpiece of our religion.

Home Sweet Home was a unitably popular tune throughout the Civil War. "Hail Columbia" was the obvious basis for "Bonnie Blue Flag". Hail Columbia was truly the Union side anthem. Interested in an actual comparison of the German Catholic tune "O Tannenbaum" and the "Maryland, my Maryland".

What do you think from Mary Poppin's little mother's nursery rhyme tale concerning the loss of Protestant Reformation in England? Concerning England drifting from Scotland or the Puritans in neo-Catholicism, or the Oxford School, or cathilo-Anglicanism, or consider "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. "Bah Humbug" says the old business man ebineezer Scrooge proclaiming Christmas is a superstition, to be reprimanded by the Three Ghosts of Christmas.

We can see several things Mary Poppins says as a Governess or Mistress of the House, the two children seated seem as if married , as children, and siblings. The Tuppence the British Pence being a two pennies . Two pennies are all that a Widow has after a long career at "The Widow at the Temple" parable. The Called birds are a metaphor from the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ, and "the birds make their nest but the son of man has no nest". Mary Poppins sings that the old Bird Woman offers you to buy some seeds for two tuppence, while all this holy work happens outside the intimidating presence of the 1700's St. Paul's Cathedral in London. "Their nests are so bare, their young ones so hungry".
