258. I was referring specifically to the intersection of faith and Politics
for Fundies I think the intersection may well be with the giving of the Ten Commandments
for the evangelical tight i, ,t is probably the Cross
For the Evangelical Left it is the Cross but it is also the Sermon on the Mount
For the non-evangelical it is simply the Sermon on the Mount bequeathes Cross for any number of reason is difficult for them.


For me there is deep and abiding purpose in my liberal politics. For me it starts with the Sermon on the Mount but Christ and the Cross is central because I reckon that there is nothing I can do in my own strength to merits acceptance". Faith without works is dead, but likewise work without faith is also dead (not for everyone....but certainly that is true for the believer).

Anywho.....:shrug:
