So it was impossible to be good 2000 years ago, hmm?

Jesus has been around since eternity past. A lot of people knew Him: Moses, the prophets, etc. He didn't just show up 2000 years ago. To know Jesus is to know God.

Outstanding point. The article seems a bit confused even in the first three paragraphs it seems to meander about in its focus. It states its essay as identifying politics with spiritualit, but then wishes to reassert values of dignity and equality of persons.

The second paragraph is imbedded with multiple presumptions and unstated premises which beg the question for the article's title. Plato is hardly a first root for Christianity or for political constructs, although 'On Politics' is frequently studid in Western philosophy of Politics.

Perhaps the author need study the topic of 'volition' with respect to dignity and equality and discern volition from worldly attributes.
