[QUOTE]Originally posted by romanesque: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Russ: I think this is more the case then it used to be, maybe reflecting the political polarisation of US society, spreading to the internet at large, between progressives and conservatives. [/QUOTE]Absolutely, and there's a conceptual and practical problem of religious language struggling to transcend a political lexicon. For those who see everything through the prism of politics, everything is indeed political, but I would seriously argue against religion, especially Christianity succumbing to the same impulse. I don't recognise anything in scripture that remotely points to a party political reading of Jesus, yet almost all traditions, not least my own, explain Christianity in terms of liberal, conservative, progressive, traditional and similar polemics. It's impossible to discuss the transcendent when the terms of reference are anchored in the language of the tribal. [/QB][/QUOTE]
