And there are ample Christians amongst minorities that God can sow the seeds of love and unity between all of us.
I propose that Christianity and its effects are important things that any real discussion cannot ignore. (I add that according to the best authorities, Jesus did not preach "your best civilization now," and a nicely paved and maintained street will not lead me to heaven.)
For it when it comes to reconciling any issue, there is typically a very obvious solution that can be found based in Christian perspective. She could not reconcile leftist ideology with Christian faith, as other Latino friends I have. They are now all among some of the most hardcore conservatives I know.
