>how do Christians of /pol/ feel about politics in the context of your faith?
<Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.
I think one of the wonderful things about Jesus Christ is that a person he's not easily contained within a political wing. You can call him anti-establishment (going against the Pharisees), you can call him conservative (promoting the law of God) his focus on social issues might label him a lefty, early Christians organized themselves almost commune like. He's a radical but also pragmatic, harsh but forgiving etc. In a sense he is fittingly above regular norms a political party might adopt.
Though to follow Christ in the world of today you might have to adopt a "right wing like" set of principles, but many right wing parties support abortion, usury, to a certain extend pornography and state sponsored gambling. All things Jesus would advice against.
>thus I come to my initial conclusion, that the only thing for a God fearing man to do is to have no part in any of it, to live in accordance with Christ's teaching, and be grateful for the effect that has on you and the community around you. most importantly, not to get sucked into the hatred and violence and sinful enabling that comes with politics of virtually any kind.
I think that's also my conclusion more or less, the Kingdom of God is not of this world, and thus our politics aren't of this world either. As Christians we're supposed to see people as a our neighbor, becoming too biased politically one way or another is becoming part of the material world, not ascending it.
That's not to say we're supposed to be peace loving hippies and put our head in the sand, I think we're actively encouraged to speak up just like Jesus did even if it makes people on both sides hate us. The point is that left or right wing thinking isn't the way to define ourselves. We're Christians who believe in Christ first and foremost. Of course this often makes us look "right wing" and to a certain extend we share many similarities but it's never as reductive as that and should never end up with garbage like "Christian Politics" or "Christian Nationalism".
The worst example of "Christian Politics" which I'd argue isn't even a real thing, would be modern American evangelism, specifically the sort that uses the blasphemous term "Judeo-Christian values". Not only is it extremely retarded to think that Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity can be reconciled in any theological sense it's outright heretical the shit they preach. Additionally stuff like tradcaths, orthobros and all those aesthetics people wear as costumes are laughable.
Basically we're supposed to believe and stand by the Bible. Never whatever agenda there is in a political party, society or country. There should never be Christian-something values. What we have are the words of Christ and our understanding of them. Him dying for our sins how that is the greatest thing that has happened to the world. Anything else is the world trying to infiltrate the Kingdom of God and not vice versa.
