: Ethiopian Orthodoxy is the only real Christianity btw
"Real" Christian is such a nothing term. It just means "What I think Christians should be" for both left and rightoids. You can basically use the Bible as Tarot cards to point to and reaffirm your political beliefs anywhere on the spectrum.

This is why Catholicism and the branches of Orthodoxy rely on the Church and Tradition rather than the Bible alone (you'll note this is from a prot subreddit) while also providing us with the examples of the Saints for what qualities would make someone "real".
The Church is 2000 years old, far predating the French Revolution and shallow Liberal conceptions of left vs right (also worth noting we were a necessary precondition for the very existence of leftism/liberalism and you could make a cogent case they're Christian heresies). We will outlive this current social order, too, unless Christ returns before then.

C.S. Lewis famously noted in Mere Christianity that the devil "always sends errors into the world in pairs—pairs of opposites. And he always encourages us to spend a lot of time thinking which is the worse" (IV.6). It was precisely in this manner that the age-old liar sundered Christendom: not by eliminating liberation once again, but by using the language of that liberation to war against the Divine Order of the Kingdom that the Gospel was meant to restore.

Convert all wingcucks. Love all wingcucks as our brothers and sisters. Turn the hearts of wingcucks towards the Gospel. Slam dunk a wingcuck into the Church. Show wingcucks Christ Crucified. Pray over wingcucks and their families in their hours of need. Launch wingcucks into Heaven. Guide wingcucks to the Beatific Vision. !Christians
!grillers!christians A good indictment about the versatility of the good book...as much as it is a good indictment on the way politicians can cynically use it to their own needs...
1. Disrespect towards God and the Church is not allowed here.
2. We honor the dignity of life from the womb to the tomb.
3. Debate about Scripture, tradition, politics, etc. are allowed when they do not directly contradict rule 1 (controversial history is an open topic when people are respectful).
4. Trolling, coomerisms, and poorly attempted humor may receive the mop at the discretion of those in charge.
5. Pray for your family, pray for your community, pray for your nation, and pray for rDrama.net. We need it! Prayer works!

The chads at New Polity have some good blogs on subjects like left vs right Christianity, Liberalism as heresy and the misguided anthropology of individualism/Liberalism and I am once again plugging their podcast as well. !Catholics are called to be in the world but not of the world.

The way people treat politics is idolatry.

"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried." to borrow from Chesterton.
