[MarkL]

Thus we live in a world that largely rejects God's morality and supplants it with its own. We put up with it and work however we can to influence the outcome of the legislative process, but we are outnumbered. We make "friends of the Mammon of unrighteousness" inasmuch as it furthers our opportunities to build the kingdom of God. Yet we understand that that kingdom will not be built from the political machinations of earthly governments.

And this is different from Sharia law, and muslims attempting to supplant our Constitution, in what way? (other than the fact we'd be living under a Christian theocracy, rather than muslim)

Mark

[Antoninus]

And this is different from Sharia law, and muslims attempting to supplant our Constitution, in what way? (other than the fact we'd be living under a Christian theocracy, rather than muslim)

If you're implying that we lived under the equivalent of Sharia prior the 1960s when all this stuff was made legal for the first time, I would say you're gravely mistaken.

Just keep living in your pornotopia, though...

The difference between Christian and Muslim philosophy in that regard is that we believe that Jesus himself will "clean house" and destroy evil from the earth. The Bible teaches submission to the secular laws of earthly governments until this event occurs. The kingdom of God comes with Divine power, not man's. Primitive Christians chose martyrdom rather than revolution.
