Certainly we do not want men to allow their Christianity to flow over into their political life, for the establishment of anything like a really just society would be a major disaster.
C.S. Lewis has me, and most FReepers apparently, squarely in the camp of those who would make the Devil's helpers most unhappy.
Happy day. I rest my case.

The thing to do is to get a man at first to value social justice as a thing which the Enemy demands, and then work him on to the stage at which he values Christianity because it may produce social justice.
