   Jesus is not liberal or conservative, he's an ascetic concerned with higher things than worldly wealth and power. Anyone whose religion isn't politics can understand this.

     @ArdainianRight Jesus was an ancap because he hated tax collectors.

     @realcaseyrollins @ArdainianRight I'm mostly shitposting. In all seriousness, I think Jesus would've been a monarchist because "Christ is King". And people shouldn't take that as a bad thing. There have been good monarchies throughout history after all.

     Reductive, but this wouldn’t surprise me

     Yep; really I would look at God the Father’s rule of Israel in the OT, and accounts of Heaven rather than Jesus, for a perception of what God thinks about politics.

     I would also like to think that He has a different perspective of earthly policy than heavenly policy.

     @ArdainianRight Didn't Jesus pretty firmly shut down people who were trying to get him to sound off on the (not morality related) hot-button issues of his day?

     @ChristiJunior Yes, especially on questions where his words could be twisted against him. They never touched on the morality of homosexuality because it was not in any way controversial among Jews and the Romans didn't give a fuck if Jews stoned each other for butt-fucking so long as they paid their taxes.
