Interesting that you bring up Nazi Germany as an example of why we should involve ourselves in politics. I would use it as exhibit “A” of why Christians should have nothing to do with electoral politics. Don’t forget that the NSDAP won a plurality of the vote in Germany. After rising to power, adolf was probably the most popular political leader in his own country, ever. So much for the ability of politics to select virtuous and Christian leaders. What Jews in pre WW2 Germany did or did not do politically wouldn’t have mattered one iota. Ultimately the German culture of that time was looking for a NSDAP or something like it. They got it, in spades.
The lesson for Christians in my view is not to be ignorant of politics but to avoid it like we would a den of venomous snakes. Secular politics is not our mission or a way of achieving anything of lasting worth for our faith.
Wow! You should make that statement to the Jews today and see if they agree. I promise you they won't. Ever hear "never again". What do you think they mean by that? I can tell you it means any politician even gets any ideas and they will be talking to an UZI real quick.
Wow you are on FR and think Christians shouldn’t be involved in politics? Cognitive dissonance!
