发帖数: 30882 | 3 四 “美国例外论”与美国文化的全球扩张
在美国盎格鲁-撒克逊新教文化信仰体系中，“美国例外论”具有很重要的一席之
地。这种把美国与世界上其他国家从本源上区别开来的命题，旨在为美国对世界承担特
殊责任或义务提供一种合理的解释，说穿了无非是为美国在履行上帝赋予的一种特殊“
使命”的名义下以各种形式向外扩张进行辩解。因此，“美国例外论”不仅是美国持续
不断的全球文化扩张的意识形态根源之一，而且使美国政府从中寻找到了合理解释的依
据。
美国文化的核心是新教伦理，这是经过长期的历史演变而形成的。因此，与“美国
例外论”密切联系在一起的使命观自然就体现在信仰新教的美国人的身上。在美国历史
上，他们把宗教的狂热与在国外传播美国文化有机地结合在一起，形成了美国文化向非
基督教世界扩张的几次大的浪潮。美国文化向外传播很长时期多是由基督教传教士作为
载体的，美国人甘愿到陌生落后的地方以自身的文化价值观来影响当地的发展，很大程
度上是从其所信仰的宗教中获得鼓舞或驱动力。美国宗教团体在这方面对美国人的号召
力丝毫不亚于美国各级政府，它们那些充满宗教激情的语言固然主要是出于皈依非基督

美国怎么建国的，美帝的精神是怎么来的？
很简单，一批puritan，也就是protestant一百单八将三百多年前漂洋过海
来到北美大陆，这既是第一批美国人。按照传统的catholic的观点
这批protestants极大的破坏了宗教传统，是要被处死和追杀的。
基督教牛逼的是信徒们不断的在破坏传统，适应新世代的发展，
拒绝宗教狂热，蒙昧和愚昧，主张理性的宗教，
拿大批的傻逼的藏传佛教的信徒来说，政教合一的愚昧落后欺压百姓的生活
代表了“传统”，和欧洲中世纪一样，是要被破坏的 |

作者：浏星雨
与现在的一些流行说法正好相反，印第安人给“五月花”号的见面礼不是笑脸和食物，
而是诅咒和弓箭。
“五月花”号来到北美大陆的时候，印第安人还处在原始部落时期，靠狩猎和刀耕火种
生活。他们臣服于武力，恐惧于神灵。经历了1916-1919年北美瘟疫大流行之后，新英
格兰地区印第安部落人口只剩下原来的三分之一左右。“五月花”号移民的登陆地就是
已经绝灭的原Patuxet部落所在地。
早在10年多前，英国人已在弗吉尼亚建立了移民村镇。1620年8月，分离派教徒本来准
备了两艘船，但其中一艘漏水，于是就把货物合并到“五月花”号上。“五月花”号的
目的地本来是纽约哈德遜河流域（当时属于北弗吉尼亚境内）。但恶劣的天气，加上疾
病导致乘员身体虚弱，使得他们就近停靠马塞诸塞的科德角海湾。
“五月花”号本身装备有火炮系统。由于害怕当地印第安人来袭击，他们将口径为3.5
英寸，射程1500码以上的几门大炮运送上岸，在高处建立嘹望哨。但这批分离派教徒的
第一个冬天，多数时间是在船上度过的。后来他们获知，在他们到达的前一年，一支英
