Removing “me” from the equation should result in more of Him which would rapidly and dramatically create new order with humility civility and focused purpose

The Gospel is a return to Eden. It does inform my values ethics politics, or should. Without the Gospel I would be adrift in forming such. But because I am a flawed, fallen human being, my values ethics politics can never get me back to Eden. They only help me approach it and to help others do the same. If I take my flawed efforts away, the Gospel is still there in all its perfect glory. My $.02 anyway.

I like to believe that my ethics are guided by the Gospels, and removing them does not leave the result empty, but it does do damage to the Gospels. There is ever so much more that is expounded in the Gospels and Epistles. Many of my more conservative friends share most of the moral standards that I do, but will have different remainders to their version of the equation. It should be noted that this equation applies to the entire spectrum of the polito-religious spectrum. So many will have an empty, or negative, remander.
