Can You Combine Religion and Politics?

John Ortberg writes on "Religion AND Politics." Good insights here, worth reading. My two favorite parts:

T.S. Eliot's insight: “We want a [policitcal] system of order so perfect that we do not have to be good.”

And John Ortberg's succinct commentary on which group prevailed, the few thousand Christians or the leades of the Roman Empire (65 million members): "But here we are, two thousand years later, and we give our children names like Peter, Paul, and Mary; and we call our dogs Caesar and Nero."
