You badly misunderstood or misread the post you replied to. The original poster didn't say that Christians shouldn't participate in government. It's not clear where you ever got that idea.
Original quote replied to: Their incessant need to butt their collectivist hive-mind noses into other people's business, particularly in areas where government has no reason or natural authority to intrude.
I take it you are referring to the bolded part of the quote above. In and of itself, it doesn't refer to government, but as the last post of a cumulative pattern of remarks, the inference is that Christians have no more business participating in politics than they do in private matters. Taken alone, I can see that you might believe that I misunderstood the post, but I have read every post on this thread, and was responding to that summation of the poster's attitudes towards Christians as evidenced by his many posts on this thread, and since this board allows one to respond to a single post at a time, this was the one I chose. But, it seems like its not only collectivist hive-minded Christians who like to stick their noses into other people's business. I guess I'll just have to take my pathetic and ignorant self offline and not log back on to FR as I am apparently too stupid for public discourse. Good Day.
