    Christianity as a religion is laudable.

    Christianity as a political ideology is terrifying.

        I believe it can work inwardly and be separate from politics. In reality, though, I don’t think it can.

          No, I mean they’re the same thing.

          It’s a bunch of ideology, doctrine, a platform, people get irrationally defensive and tribal about it, 85% of people follow the same one their parents / peers do, etc etc.

          Only difference is the top guy tends to be invisible and impossible to vote out.

            Hey, that makes sense.

            I was seeing “political” and misunderstanding it.
