Dear Christians who say that Jesus was not about politics:
“Every
time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the
part of you that chooses, into something a little different than it was
before. And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable
choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing
into a heavenly creature or a hellish creature: either into a creature
that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself,
or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with
its fellow creatures, and with itself. To be the one kind of creature
is heaven: that is, it is joy and peace and knowledge and power. To be
the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal
loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state of
the other." --C. S. Lewis
"Life is political, not because the world cares about how you feel, but because the world reacts to what you do. The minor choices we make are themselves a kind of vote, making it more or less likely that free and fair elections will be held in the future. In the politics of the everyday, our words and gestures, or their absence, count very much." --Timothy Snyder https://www.amazon.com/Tyranny-Graphic-Lessons-Twentieth-Century/dp/1984859153
