You are correct. To affiliate with any tribe is to miss the point. We are all one big tribe, one family of God's children. Some of God's children might be reliably untrustworthy, but that stereotype does not denigrate them in God's eyes. It merely acts as a barrier ready to be pierced by love and fraternization.
This is only weird to you because you refuse to affiliate with your tribe.
Tribalism is why the Middle East and Africa are forever fucked up shitholes
Tribalism is why Europe consolidated power. Anyone who opposed the tribe was removed.

Is your oath of loyalty to the state? Or to the king and his bloodline?
Nationalism is a post imperial concept.
what's the difference between nationalism and tribalism?
No, it is because of their corruption, among other things.

Now I understand why the romans feed christians to lions.
They also brutally tortured and murdered their King and God! The Romans were not fans of the Christians.
Now that is funny 😁!
Fed. The Christians toppled evil Rome by turning the other cheek.
I assume they found someone less annoying to handle the interactions?
Indeed, Christianity toppled Rome. I wonder what would have happened without it.
