I love this! Have never considered such a worldview but it makes sense. I’ve often been troubled, and still am to an extent, how the governance of a nation is incompatible with Matt. 5, 6, & 7, but this does help a bit. Thank you!

Liberals focus on the conservative religious right, seeing them as a strong push towards an oppressive and fallen system. They see them as not in line with the model of Jesus who did break the rules for the rule of love. We see the opposite in many conservatives - being intolerant, supportive of a move towards fascism, lacking compassion, and focused on personal piety verses social justice. ...and then there are the communities that turn their heads and stay quiet. What did Jesus do, and what did Jesus say is a good place to start, in my opinion.
