***This has somewhat weakened Christianity’s political power. An unfortunate side effect.***

Jesus said His Kingdom is not of this world. Why are Christians so interested in Earthly power?

After seeing what happens in countries where Christianity is sidelined, from Egypt to the Soviet Union, I’m not sure why this isn’t obvious to you.

Christians are human and of this world - knowledge/belief/faith in Christ will not override our basic nature (Faith of a mustard seed...).

Things such as Islam are why Christians need Earthly power. I can’t decide if you think something along the lines of God will save you from them or you would not be in need of saving if Islam held all current Judea-Christian political power? At first I thought that was a trollish (it is not) post but after reading some of your other postings I am very curious of what makes you tick. What would you, or perhaps God have us do? I think it is clear fruitful multiplication requires it. One only need look to the middle east to understand what they would make of the world if given opportunity.
