Paul asked me what I thought of his essay “The Biggest Fallacies About Religion and Politics” on Daily Kos. Paul, I think it’s a great essay, well worth reading. I agree with the general thesis that “Christianity” (for want of a better word) is always “political” (for want of a better word). But allow me to pick at some of the details, as someone who is neither a political theologian nor a commentator on current affairs. This is not so much a critique as pulling at some threads that interest me. I quote Paul in bold text, then add my tuppence or two cents.
